What goes in a welcome book
- Quick info up front: Wi-Fi name and password, check-in and check-out times, door code instructions.
- Getting in: parking, which door to use, and a tip for finding the place at night.
- How things work: thermostat, TV, coffee maker, laundry, and any quirky appliance.
- House rules at a glance, with the full rules in the house rules template.
- Your local favorites — the coffee shop, the dinner spot, the trail. This is where your book stands out.
- Safety: the address for 911, the nearest hospital or urgent care, and where the extinguisher and first-aid kit are.
- Checkout steps and a thank-you.
Print, digital, or both
A printed binder on the counter is what most guests reach for first. A PDF you send before arrival helps with the getting-in details. The template works for both.
About reviews
It's fine to tell guests you'd appreciate an honest review. Don't offer anything in exchange for a review — booking platforms generally don't allow it.
