A house manual tells guests what to do. A welcome book tells them who you are, and that they're actually welcome.
One or two sentences that set the tone — not a form letter. A welcome message shows up the moment a guest opens their guide.
A photo and a bit of your story as a host — a real person, not an anonymous listing.
Make it obvious how to reach you (or your AI guest assistant) if something isn't covered in the welcome itself.
If you host more than one property, your story and your welcome tone are usually the same across all of them — it's the operational details (WiFi, check-in steps) that change per listing. A shareable host profile with your photo and bio, alongside a short customizable welcome line per guide, keeps the personal introduction consistent without rewriting it for every property.
