Airbnb New Host Starter Kit | Message Templates, Cleaning Checklists & Holiday Host Printables

Everything a new host needs to run a smooth, five-star rental, in one bundle.

Running a short-term rental means sending the same messages, cleaning the same rooms, and prepping for every holiday. This starter kit gives you ready-made tools for all three, so you can spend less time on paperwork and more time on your guests.

What's included (3 printable PDFs, 36 pages)

1. Airbnb Host Message Templates (8 pages, 30 templates)
Ready-to-send guest messages for the whole stay: inquiry replies, booking confirmations, check-in details, mid-stay check-ins, checkout reminders, and review requests. Also includes scripts for late checkout, noise complaints, damage, and extra guests, plus replies to positive and negative reviews.

2. Airbnb Turnover Toolkit (11 pages)
Room-by-room cleaning checklists for the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and living area, plus a same-day turnover timeline, cleaner task sheet, inventory and restock tracker, maintenance and repair log, and damage report form.

3. Holiday Host Pack (17 pages)
Christmas and Thanksgiving welcome letters and signs, a holiday house rules sign, Wi-Fi cards, check-in and check-out sheets, local events and holiday hours guides, guest feedback and thank-you cards, a host prep checklist, and a contacts sheet.
