What is an Airbnb house manual?
- An Airbnb house manual is the set of practical operating instructions for a property: Wi-Fi, door and access codes, how the appliances work, house rules, checkout steps, and emergency contacts. A digital house manual puts all of that on a mobile page guests reach with a QR code or link.
What should a house manual include?
- Wi-Fi network and password, door and key or lockbox access, appliance instructions (AC, heating, washer, oven, TV), house rules, checkout instructions, and emergency contacts. WelcomeWay provides a dedicated section for each so your manual is complete and consistent.
How do guests get the house manual?
- Guests scan a QR code in the property or open a link you send. The manual opens instantly in their browser. You can also print a small QR card for the door or fridge so it is easy to find on arrival.
Can I update the house manual after guests have checked in?
- Yes. Any change you make — a new code, an updated appliance note — is reflected immediately for every guest, including those already staying. There is nothing to reprint or re-send.
Is a digital house manual safe for access codes?
- You control how each property or room link is accessed. Links can be kept permanent, protected with a passkey, or regenerated for each new guest, so access instructions are only available to the right guest.
