FAQs

What is an Airbnb house manual?

An Airbnb house manual is a document that explains how the property works: WiFi, appliances, heating, rules, and check-out steps. Modern hosts deliver it digitally so guests can read it on their phone.

Do I need to attach a house manual on Airbnb?

Airbnb lets you add a house manual to your listing, but it has formatting limits. Most hosts now share a digital guide link or QR code that works on any device and can be updated instantly.

Can I use a free Airbnb house manual template?

Yes. CheckinGuide gives you a complete house manual template covering the 12 essentials. Edit it, brand it, and share a link with guests in 5 minutes.

How is a house manual different from a welcome book?

A welcome book sets the tone and gives a personal welcome. A house manual is the practical, instruction-led part: how things work, rules, and check-out. CheckinGuide combines both into one digital guest guide.
