Free Airbnb Welcome Book Templates

Why offer a free welcome book to your Airbnb guests?

The welcome book is one of three factors that push your Airbnb rating above 4.8 (along with cleanliness and listing accuracy). International guests in particular rely on it for check-in, local recommendations and Wi-Fi. Offering it for free, with no app to install, removes friction for the guest.

In practice, you avoid 10 p.m. texts asking for the parking code, you give access to local recommendations you couldn’t keep up to date on print, and you save time when seasons or cleaners change. The return on investment is immediate from the very first guest.

What to include in a free Airbnb welcome book

Free doesn’t mean less complete. Here are the six sections Airbnb guests look for first, and that any welcome book (paid or free) must contain.

• Step-by-step arrival procedure: address, GPS, door code, floor, parking, and tolerated arrival time
• Wi-Fi network with QR connection code (zero password typing for guests)
• Property equipment and how it works (AC, dishwasher, specific coffee machine, induction hob)
• Personal local recommendations: restaurants, bakery, late-opening supermarket, on-call doctor
• House rules: quiet hours, smoking, pets, sorting waste, check-out
• Check-out procedure with time, walk-through, where to leave the keys, and who to contact in case of an issue

Canva template, PDF or digital welcome book: which to pick?

The Canva template is ideal if you enjoy customising visually (font, colours, photos) and you’re comfortable with a design tool. You edit, export to PDF, and email. The print-ready PDF template suits owners who want a paper copy in the property without going through a design tool.

The LivretAccueil digital welcome book goes further: unique URL, QR code to display, instant updates, automatic translation into the guest’s language, view stats. The three formats are free, you can also stack the digital and the printed PDF (many owners do both).
