House manual
Airbnb house manual for property instructions guests can find
An Airbnb house manual explains how the property works after guests are inside. It reduces small questions about appliances, heating, trash, WiFi, building rules, and checkout.
What this solves
- Keep appliance, heating, trash, and safety notes in one place.
- Help guests use the property without guessing.
- Reduce small repeat questions during the stay.
- Update instructions when appliances or building rules change.
House manual vs welcome book
A welcome book introduces the stay. A house manual explains how the property works. In practice, guests benefit when both live inside the same digital guide.
Include practical instructions
Guests do not need a long story. They need clear notes for the things that can confuse them.
- Heating, air conditioning, windows, and ventilation.
- Washing machine, dishwasher, oven, coffee machine, and TV.
- Trash, recycling, quiet hours, and building rules.
- Emergency contacts, safety equipment, and checkout steps.
How CheckInLink helps
CheckInLink turns house manual content into a mobile guide guests can reopen during the stay instead of messaging you for every small question.
