Vacation rentals in France are subject to strict regulations: city hall registration, registration number, energy performance certificate (DPE), house rules. A well-designed welcome book lets you centralize all these mandatory details and share them automatically with every guest.
Whether you list on Airbnb, Booking, Vrbo or take direct bookings, your welcome book is the first point of contact with your guests. With LivretAccueil, you can create a professional digital welcome book in minutes, shareable via QR code or link, and always up to date regardless of the booking platform.
Why do you need a welcome book for your vacation rental?
In vacation rentals, guests change every week. Without a welcome book, you end up repeating the same information with every new arrival. A digital welcome book solves this problem and much more.
Regulatory compliance
Display your registration number, energy rating, house rules and safety instructions. Everything French law requires from vacation rental hosts, accessible in one click.
Multi-platform reception
One welcome book for all your listing platforms. Whether the guest comes from Airbnb, Booking or a direct reservation, they receive the same professional welcome.
Guest autonomy
Check-in times, door code, how appliances work, recycling instructions: your guests find all the answers without needing to contact you.
