Amenities: which ones go with the best revenue?
Published on 29 October 2026
Self check-in, dishwasher, air conditioning, parking: median gross revenue of Brussels homes with and without each amenity, and how to read the gaps.
For each amenity, we compare the median gross revenue of Brussels homes that list it with those that do not.
| Amenity | Homes with it | Median revenue with | Median revenue without | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Self check-in | 1,293 | €25,000 | €11,500 | +117.1% |
| Coffee machine | 1,823 | €20,900 | €10,400 | +101.4% |
| Dishwasher | 1,121 | €22,100 | €15,400 | +43.2% |
| Dedicated workspace | 1,315 | €20,100 | €15,900 | +26.7% |
| Air conditioning | 251 | €22,000 | €17,600 | +25.3% |
| Balcony or terrace | 606 | €20,400 | €17,300 | +18.2% |
| Lift | 516 | €19,900 | €17,400 | +14.5% |
| Washing machine | 1,660 | €18,300 | €17,500 | +4.3% |
| Pets allowed | 345 | €17,500 | €18,000 | −2.4% |
| Free parking | 290 | €15,300 | €18,500 | −17.5% |
Read these gaps with caution
These figures show an association, not an effect. Homes that list self check-in (€25,000 vs €11,500) or a coffee machine (€20,900 vs €10,400) are often run more professionally overall: complete listing, good photos, managed pricing. A key box alone will not double your revenue.
What we can still learn
Self check-in shows the largest and most logical gap: it allows late arrivals and last-minute bookings, two important sources of nights in Brussels. A dishwasher and a workspace serve multi-night stays and business travellers.
Parking, the counter-example
Homes with free parking earn less (€15,300 vs €18,500): they are mostly located far from the centre. Location outweighs equipment.
