A good welcome message does three jobs at once: it reassures the guest they booked the right place, it heads off the five questions every guest asks, and it sets the tone for a five-star review. Below are 15 templates you can copy, paste, and personalize, organized by the moment in the stay when you send them.

Use placeholders

Anything in {curly braces} is a placeholder. Swap in the guest first name, your listing name, and your details. Keep messages short. Guests read them on a phone.

1. Booking confirmation message

Send this within an hour of the booking. It builds trust while your listing is fresh in their mind.

Booking confirmation
Hi {first_name}, thanks so much for booking {listing_name}! We are thrilled to host you {dates}. I will send your check-in details and the door code closer to arrival. In the meantime, reply here any time with questions. Looking forward to having you!

2. Pre-arrival message (24 to 48 hours before)

This is where you set expectations: arrival time, parking, and a promise that the entry code is coming.

Pre-arrival
Hi {first_name}, your stay at {listing_name} is almost here. Check-in is any time after {checkin_time}. The address is {address}. You will get your entry code and step-by-step directions right at check-in time. Parking: {parking_note}. Safe travels!

3. Check-in / entry instructions

Send the entry details at check-in time, not before. It keeps your codes secure and lands exactly when the guest needs them.

Check-in
Welcome, {first_name}! You are all set to check in. Entry: {entry_instructions}. WiFi network {wifi_name}, password {wifi_password}. Thermostat is {thermostat_note}. Anything you need during your stay, just text. Enjoy {city}!

4. Mid-stay check-in

A single thoughtful message mid-stay is one of the highest-ROI things a host can do for reviews.

Mid-stay
Hi {first_name}, hope you are settling in nicely at {listing_name}. Everything good so far? If you want local recommendations for food or things to do, just ask. Happy to help.

5. Checkout reminder

Checkout
Hi {first_name}, checkout is at {checkout_time} tomorrow. No need to do much: {checkout_tasks}. It has been a pleasure hosting you. If you have a minute, a review means the world to a small host like us. Safe travels!

What makes a welcome message work

  • Lead with their name and your listing name. It feels personal and confirms they have the right thread.
  • Answer before they ask. WiFi, parking, and check-in time are the top three questions.
  • Keep it to a phone screen. Long paragraphs get skimmed.
  • Set the entry-code expectation early, then deliver the code at check-in time, not days ahead.
  • End with an open door: invite questions so a small issue reaches you before it reaches your review.

The catch with templates

Templates only work if someone actually sends them, and answers the replies. At 2 AM, mid-checkout, or during a double booking, that someone is usually you. This is exactly the gap Rezi fills: it sends every message on time and answers the follow-ups in your voice, 24/7.

When should I send the Airbnb welcome message?
Send a booking confirmation within an hour, a pre-arrival message 24 to 48 hours out, and the entry instructions right at check-in time. Splitting it up keeps each message short and your codes secure.
Should I include the WiFi password in the welcome message?
Yes, but in the check-in message rather than the booking confirmation. Guests want it the moment they walk in, and sending it at check-in keeps it tied to the actual stay.
Can I automate Airbnb welcome messages?
Yes. Airbnb has scheduled messages for fixed text, and tools like Rezi go further by sending the right message at the right moment and answering the replies guests send back, which scheduled messages cannot do.

Let Rezi handle the messages for you

Rezi answers every guest text and call in seconds, 24/7, in your voice. It sends check-in details on time and only pings you for what truly needs you.
