A great guest experience doesn’t start at check-in — it starts with clarity. The more questions you answer before they’re asked, the fewer interruptions you’ll face, and the smoother every stay becomes. Here’s how to pre-emptively provide the answers guests want most.
Most Common Guest Questions
Guests across all short-let platforms tend to ask the same handful of questions. Proactively addressing these will save time and boost satisfaction:
Wi-Fi details: What’s the password and network name?
Check-in instructions: How do I get in? Where’s the key or code?
Heating controls: How do I use the thermostat or radiators?
Parking: Is there on-site parking? Do I need a permit?
Bin collection: When is rubbish day, and where are the bins?
Where to Pre-Answer Them
Don’t rely on guests scrolling through old messages or contacting you last-minute. Provide answers in multiple locations:
House Manual: A printed or digital guide placed visibly in the property
Digital Welcome Guide: Tools like TouchStay or a simple Notion page with clickable sections
Pre-Arrival Email: Send key info 1–2 days before check-in
Listing Description: Answer top queries clearly in your Airbnb or Booking.com listing
Automation Tools That Help
Automating guest communication doesn’t mean being impersonal — it means being efficient and helpful 24/7. Tools we recommend:
Airbnb Scheduled Messages: Automatically send arrival instructions and reminders
TouchStay: Digital guidebook with everything in one place
Notion or Canva Templates: Create clean, clickable guides for pre-arrival emails
