Sometimes, it is all about the comforts of home, especially for backpackers who are traveling light. No backpacker minds going without a few of the comforts of home when necessary, but when it comes to the kitchen, a few free items will make their stay more enjoyable.
All backpackers love a nice hot cup of coffee or tea throughout the day, and while they can lug their own around or go purchase what they need, giving it to them for free is much better. You can set up a little area in the kitchen complete with a coffee pot, kettle, cups, spoons, coffee, and tea, and let all your guests know that it is there for their enjoyment.
When it comes to food, no backpacker minds making their own, however, they might forget the small things like salt, pepper, and oil. Those are three other items that you will want to consider keeping in your free bin.
It will not cost you much to purchase these items for your guests, and you may reap the benefits in more ways than one in the future. After all, hostels that provide these little things have happy guests who then share their good findings with other people who are looking for a fantastic hostel for their time away from home.
