Free guest communication guide

Five messages that remove uncertainty from the guest journey.

Good guest messages are timely, accurate and easy to act on. Use these structures to create approved templates in your own voice, then keep property-specific details in one maintained source.

01

Booking confirmation

Confirm the decision and reduce the first round of questions.

  • Thank the guest and identify the property and confirmed dates.
  • State what is included and where the authoritative booking details can be checked.
  • Explain the next message they will receive and when.
  • Provide one monitored contact channel for corrections or important needs.
02

Pre-arrival planning

Send early enough for the guest to act.

  • Confirm arrival window, address and the simplest route or parking guidance.
  • State what the guest must provide before arrival, if anything.
  • Highlight only the policies that materially affect preparation.
  • Ask for approved special requirements through a secure channel.
03

Arrival and access

Make the message usable from a phone at the property entrance.

  • Lead with the immediate action: where to go and how to enter.
  • Use short steps rather than a long paragraph.
  • Include a backup contact if access fails.
  • Avoid burying codes or critical instructions among general information.
04

During-stay help and recovery

Acknowledge first, then make ownership visible.

  • Confirm what you understood and the effect on the guest.
  • State the next action, its owner and the time of the next update.
  • Do not promise an outcome you cannot control.
  • Record the issue and follow through even if another person takes over.
05

Departure and post-stay

Close the stay without creating a final burst of uncertainty.

  • Send concise departure time and key or access instructions.
  • Separate required actions from optional requests.
  • Thank the guest after departure and provide the correct support path.
  • Ask for feedback only after any unresolved issue has been addressed.
