A good digital guidebook answers questions before guests ask them. Use this checklist to cover arrival, the house, the area and checkout.

A clear guidebook means fewer late-night messages and happier guests.

Arrival

  • Address and parking instructions
  • Door code or key location (keep this private until booking)
  • Check-in time and what to do if they arrive early

The house

  • Wi-Fi name and password
  • Thermostat, hot water and appliance tips
  • Trash and recycling days

The area

Share your favorite restaurants, coffee shops and things to do. Public local tips also add unique content to your listing page, which helps with search.

Checkout

Keep the list short: dishes, towels, trash and lock up.

Tip: in your dashboard, mark sensitive sections as private so only confirmed guests can see them.
