UPWELL GUEST-READY REFRESH

Design-Forward Upgrades That Actually Boost ROI

Targeted renovations for the spaces that impact bookings, reviews, and guest experience — installed in days, not weeks.

Built for STR Operators

Not all upgrades pay off. We focus on the ones that do.

Upwell’s Guest-Ready Refresh is a design-led renovation service made specifically for short-term rentals. Each package upgrades the high-impact areas that drive guest perception. Bathrooms, kitchenettes, and entries without the delays, complexity, or cost of a full remodel.

65% of travelers say bathrooms and kitchens influence booking decisions more than any other space.
