Airbnb welcome book template

The free Airbnb welcome book template

A ready-to-fill welcome book template for your Airbnb or short-stay rental. Add your details and the layout sets itself — then print a PDF or publish it as a digital guide guests open with a QR code. No design skills, no account needed to print.

What the template includes

The template is built from the sections every good welcome book needs, so you never start from a blank page. Fill in what applies to your place and skip what doesn't.

Welcome & check-in

A short welcome note, check-in time, and step-by-step arrival and key access.

Wi-Fi

Network name and password, laid out so guests can connect at a glance.

House rules

Quiet hours, smoking, pets, guests, and anything that protects your place.

Appliances

AC, heating, washer, dishwasher, TV, and anything with a non-obvious control.

Emergency info

Local emergency numbers, nearest hospital or pharmacy, and how to reach you.

Nearby places

A short, curated list of food, coffee and things to do close by.

Checkout

Checkout time, trash, keys, and the few things you ask guests to do before leaving.

Guest book & album

Optional pages for guest notes and property photos to make it feel personal.

Print it or publish it

The same template works two ways. Print it to A4, A5 or Letter and leave a physical copy on the counter — the classic welcome binder, but polished and made in minutes.

Or publish it as a live digital guide. Guests open it by scanning a QR code, and you edit it once whenever a detail changes instead of reprinting. Most hosts do both: a printed copy in the room and a digital version behind the QR.

How to use the template

  1. 1

    Fill in your place

    Add your property name, Wi-Fi, check-in, house rules, local tips and emergency info. The preview updates as you type.

  2. 2

    Choose your format

    Pick A4, A5 or Letter and portrait or landscape — the page respects your choice exactly.

  3. 3

    Print or publish

    Print a free PDF right away, or create a free account to download a clean, unbranded PDF and publish it as a digital guide.

Template vs a live digital guide

A printed template is a great start, but it goes out of date the moment a detail changes. Publishing the same welcome book as a WelcomeWay digital guide keeps it current for every guest, opens instantly on a phone, and can even receive guest requests — extra towels, a maintenance issue, a late checkout — tagged with the property they came from.
