Guest message template
Airbnb welcome message template
A good welcome message should feel warm, but it should also direct guests to the information they need. The simplest version greets the guest and points them to one clean guide link.
What this solves
- Welcome guests without writing a long message every time.
- Share one guide link for check-in, WiFi, rules, and local tips.
- Set expectations before arrival.
- Reduce repeat messages from guests.
Keep the message short
The message should not contain every instruction. Use it to make guests feel welcome and send them to the full guide.
What to include
A strong welcome message answers the first questions and points to the next step.
- Guest name and property name.
- Arrival date or check-in window.
- Link to the full guide.
- Short note about contacting you if needed.
How CheckInLink helps
CheckInLink gives you one guide URL to paste into Airbnb, Booking.com, SMS, email, or scheduled messages.

Warm message, practical next step
A welcome message should not carry the whole stay. It should make the guest feel looked after, then send them to the guide where the details are easier to read.
- The short message stays friendly.
- The guide holds the full check-in, WiFi, rules, and local information.
- The same link can be reused in scheduled messages.
- Stop pasting a wall of instructions into every conversation.
- Give guests a clear next step before arrival.
- Keep your message warm without losing important details.
No guest account. No app download. One mobile link guests can reopen.

Frequently asked questions
Should the welcome message include the full door code?
It is usually cleaner to keep sensitive and detailed instructions inside a guest guide that you share with confirmed guests.
Can I use this message for Booking.com?
Yes. Adjust the wording for the platform, then use the same CheckInLink as the source of full instructions.
How long should an Airbnb welcome message be?
Short enough to read quickly. Use the message as an entry point, not the full manual.
