Why start from a welcome book template rather than a blank page?
A welcome book template captures what hundreds of hosts have already documented for their properties. You avoid forgetting half of the classic sections (Wi-Fi, specific equipment, waste sorting, emergency contacts), and you save several hours on the first draft. The template also works as a checklist that forces you to think through every guest scenario.
The templates above are organised by use case (Airbnb, long-term rental, rural gîte, tourist city, unusual stay) and by property type (gîte, chalet, villa, apartment, studio, bed and breakfast, holiday home, campsite). Pick the closest to your situation and adapt the sections that need a specific touch.
Anatomy of a good welcome book template
Whichever template you start from, a strong welcome book is built around six coherent blocks. That structure is what lets guests find information without having to search.
- Welcome hero with a note from the host, photo, and key info (address, stay dates, access code)
- Arrival block: detailed route, vehicle and pedestrian access, parking, floor, codes
- Stay block: Wi-Fi (with QR code), equipment, instructions, local recommendations
- Rules block: smoking, pets, parties, quiet hours, sorting waste, plus rules specific to your property
- Check-out block: check-out time, walk-through, where to leave the keys, cleaning expectations
- Contacts block: your WhatsApp number, property manager, trusted neighbour, emergencies, doctor
How to customise a template so it really feels like your property
The template is a starting point, not a finished product. Three moves turn a generic template into a unique welcome book: replace every photo with shots of your property, write at least two personal paragraphs (the welcome note and the recommendations section), and adapt the tone to your dominant guest profile (families, couples, business travellers, hikers).
On LivretAccueil, you can also adjust colours, logo and font so the welcome book reflects your identity or your property management company’s. Changes show up instantly in the online welcome book and the printable PDF. You can also duplicate an existing welcome book to start faster on a second property.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find the right welcome book template for my property?
Filter by main category (Airbnb, long-term rental, gîte, unusual stay), then refine by property type. If several templates speak to you, start from the closest to your property and merge the interesting sections from the others into yours.
Are the templates translated into other languages?
Yes. The templates used on LivretAccueil are automatically translated into nine languages: English, Spanish, Italian, German, Dutch, Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Chinese. The guest sees the welcome book in their language, and you maintain one version in French.
How many templates can I try?
As many as you want. You can create several welcome books in parallel, test different templates across properties, and keep the one that performs best. No extra cost, no trial limit.
Are the templates updated regularly?
Yes. We expand the library every two to three months based on host feedback (missing sections, specific use cases) and regulatory updates (tourist tax, classified furnished rentals, etc.).
Can I create my own template and share it?
Not publicly yet. You can however create your own template in your account, duplicate it across your properties, and share it with your cleaning or management team via a private URL. Public templates work for the majority; your private one can be optimised for your specific cases.
