As much as you will think that your house is just for your needs, there will be a time that you will have guests over. It could be just for a simple dinner or get together. There will also be times that they will need to stay over if they came from far places. No matter what, you will need to be a good host for them.
It is kind of intimidating at times because you would want to please them and also they might have expectations. The key to this is just to be hospitable and also to relax. You will just have to be prepared for their needs and also be a great company yourself. 
1. Clean House
First and foremost is to have your home cleaned. That is for good sight and health. You might also need to think about redecorating or rearranging to fit your visitor’s needs. For example, they might have some kids, so you might need to keep away some plants and other breakable things. You might also need to add some space to fit them in.
2. Meal Plan
One of the activities that do not go away is eating. So whether it is for a short time or overnight, you will still need to plan your meals. Your visitors might have preferences or allergies, and it is wise and considerate to ask about it. Also, there will be no possible catastrophe that way. When you plan, make sure you also include snacks and drinks.
3. Bedroom Needs
If your visitor is staying overnight, make sure that their needs are prepared. The bedroom itself should be clean and have enough space for them and their belongings. The bed should have clean sheets and extra pillows and blankets. If they came during the hot season, let them be comfortable and have your air conditioning on if needed. They will also need power for charging, so point it out to be and even provide extra power strip if needed.
4. Bathroom Needs
Same as the bedroom needs, you will have to prepare for their needs for the bathroom. This will include towels. You should always have extras. Toiletries are also a must, so you provide them with shampoo, conditioner, soap, and lotion. You can even provide them toothbrushes and toothpaste in case they forgot to bring one. You can have it travel sizes so that they can also bring it home as a souvenir or be useful for their next trip.
5. Entertainment
For your guests to really enjoy their stay, you can provide all sorts of entertainment to them. As a good host, it should not be like in hotels where they just do their own business. You can be involved with them. You can watch TV together or play games together. Because this is the modern time, the internet is a great source of entertainment, so you are to share your wifi password with them. You can have it posted in the guest room or by the living room for them to see.
