Moving into a short-term rental? No bedding or towels can make day one stressful
If you’re booking a short-term rental through Samsam2, you may wonder whether bedding and towels will be provided.
“It says fully furnished, but does that include bedding?”
“What if I arrive and there are no towels or pots? I’d have to shop on day one.”
Asking just three questions about bedding, towels, and kitchen supplies before you book can help you avoid surprises on move-in day.
Here are the questions to ask about bedding at Samsam2, plus a message you can copy and send.
How to check if a short-term rental includes bedding
Does bedding at Samsam2 vary by listing?
Yes. What’s included—such as bedding, towels, and kitchen supplies—varies by listing and host.
“Fully furnished” doesn’t mean the same thing in every listing, so don’t assume it includes bedding and towels.
Samsam2 reviews mention listings with bedding and kitchen supplies all set up, as well as cases where the towels weren’t in great condition.
Even on the same platform, what’s included varies by listing. Check the listing details and ask the host rather than relying on reviews.
Does “fully furnished” include bedding and towels?
“Fully furnished” usually means the home comes with appliances and furniture.
Whether it also includes bedding, towels, and dishes varies by listing, so it’s best to check.
Booking a Samsam2 short-term rental? Ask these three questions
①Are blankets and pillows provided?
Ask whether blankets and pillows are included and if there’s enough for your group and bed size.
It’s also worth checking whether the bedding suits the season.
②Are towels provided?
Ask how many towels there are and whether they can be replaced or replenished during your stay.
If they aren’t provided, finding out in advance means you can pack accordingly.
③What kitchen supplies are included?
Ask whether there are pots, pans, dishes, cutlery, and cooking utensils—and enough for everyone.
If you plan to cook, check what you’ll be using, such as a gas stove or induction cooktop.
Copy-and-send message

Hi, I’m ○○ and I’m considering booking your place. I have three questions before I move in:
① Are blankets and pillows provided? If so, for how many people?
② How many towels are there, and can they be replaced or replenished during my stay?
③ Which kitchen items are included—pots, pans, dishes, and cutlery? I’ll decide whether to book once I hear back. Thank you!

It’ll be useful if anything differs from what you were told.
