Short-Term Rental Welcome Book Template

What's inside

Everything a guest needs, in one place

Seventeen sections cover the full arc of a stay: before arrival, check-in, WiFi, house rules, local recommendations, safety information, and check-out, so guests find answers in the book instead of in a message to you.

Built to fill in fast

Every field you need to personalize, like your WiFi password, door code, and contact details, is bolded and highlighted so it's easy to spot and replace. Short host-tip notes throughout give practical guidance for customizing each section, and can be removed once you're done.

Works with the tools you already have

Delivered as a Word (.docx) file that opens cleanly in both Microsoft Word and Google Docs. No design software, template account, or subscription required.

A real, working table of contents

The document includes an actual table of contents field that updates as you edit, not a static list that goes stale the first time you add a line.

Reuse it for every stay

Fill it in once for a property, and the same file works for every guest after that.

Frequently asked questions

What format does this come in?

A single Word (.docx) file, delivered as a digital download.

Do I need Microsoft Word?

No. The file opens and edits cleanly in both Microsoft Word and Google Docs.

How long is it?

Roughly 10 pages once you've filled it in with your own property details. Exact length varies a little depending on how much you add, particularly in the Local Recommendations section.

Is it available in Spanish?

Not currently. This version is English only.

Will it fill itself in with my property's information?

No. It's a structured, ready-to-customize template: the writing and layout are done for you, but details specific to your property (address, WiFi password, local recommendations, house rules, and so on) need to be filled in by you, since no template can know those details in advance.

Does it include custom photography or illustrated design?

No. The layout is clean and functional rather than decorative or custom-illustrated. This product is built around content and structure first.

Is this a subscription?

No. It's a one-time download of a single file.
