Thank you for everything! The apartment was perfect.
PER-fet-to — three syllables, stress on the first.
Your farewell message to the host at check-out. A warm, genuine goodbye that sets up a positive review exchange.
'Grazie per tutto' = thank you for everything. 'Era perfetto' uses the imperfetto of 'essere' — appropriate for a completed experience. A sincere thank-you message at departure is the Italian way of closing a guest relationship properly.
È stato un soggiorno meraviglioso.
It was a wonderful stay.
A warm general compliment for the overall experience
Lascio una recensione positiva.
I am leaving a positive review.
Let the host know a good review is coming — it means a lot to them
Tornerò sicuramente a Bologna.
I will definitely come back to Bologna.
If you loved the city and the apartment, say so
Airbnb review culture is reciprocal in Italy as everywhere — hosts review guests and guests review hosts simultaneously. Italian hosts who receive warm, genuine check-out messages are more likely to write enthusiastic guest reviews, which help you book better properties in the future.
