A digital welcome book for your Airbnb
Airbnb has a guidebook built in, but it is a list of local recommendations, not a welcome book. It does not hold your wifi password, your check-in steps, or your house rules, it is easy for a guest to miss inside the app, and it only exists for guests who booked on Airbnb. Some hosts call the thing they actually need a house manual or a digital guidebook. FreshLinen is that: a welcome book with the practical half of hosting in it, at one link.
What a FreshLinen book holds that Airbnb's does not
- The wifi network and password, on a page a guest can find in one tap
- Arrival steps and parking, in a book that saves to the phone and loads with no cell service at the door
- House rules, quiet hours, trash and recycling, the quirks of the place
- Your favorite nearby food and things to do, chosen by you, with a map
One link for every guest, however they booked
Airbnb's guidebook disappears the moment a guest books somewhere else. A FreshLinen book is a plain link and a QR code, so the same book works for your Airbnb guests, your Vrbo guests, and anyone who booked direct. Share it in your check-in message or leave the QR at the property. There is no app for guests to download and nothing to set up on Airbnb's side, so there is nothing to break when Airbnb changes something.
Nothing sold to your guests
A guest reading your book never sees an ad, a sponsored pick, or anything with a price on it. That keeps the book on the right side of Airbnb's off-platform rules, which exist to stop hosts from steering guests to sales and bookings around Airbnb, and it is simply a nicer thing to hand someone who is staying in your home. One flat price, $49.99 a year for every property you host, is the whole business.
