Frequently asked questions

What should an Airbnb welcome book include?

Start with access, Wi Fi, heating, parking, the host contact and checkout. Add safety details, appliance instructions, house rules, waste information and a small number of genuinely useful local recommendations.

Should the welcome book be printed or digital?

Both can work. Keep a simple copy in the property and send a mobile friendly version before arrival. Test every link and access instruction whenever the guide changes.

Is a welcome book the same as house rules?

No. The welcome book explains how the property works and helps the guest enjoy the stay. House rules set the boundaries of the booking. The guide can summarise the rules and point to the full version.
