Frequently asked questions

How do I make an Airbnb message sound less automated?

Answer the guest actual question in the first sentence, keep the message short and add one real detail from the booking. The templates include prompts for that detail rather than pretending one message fits every stay.

Which messages should I send before arrival?

A useful sequence is the booking confirmation, one complete pre arrival message and a short arrival day reminder where it helps. Avoid sending several messages that repeat the same access information.

Can I use these emails to get direct bookings?

The pack includes repeat stay and seasonal emails for past guests who have agreed to hear from you. It does not suggest diverting a current platform booking.

Do the templates work outside Airbnb?

Yes. Replace the channel specific details with your booking site, property name and contact process. The messages are written for the guest journey rather than one platform.
