Frequently Asked Questions(6)
What should a booking confirmation message include?
An Airbnb booking confirmation message should include a warm thank-you, the check-in date and time window, the property address, a note about when you'll send full check-in instructions, and your contact details. Keep it brief — full details come in a pre-arrival message closer to the date.
How do I handle an Airbnb service animal request message?
Under ADA rules, you cannot ask for documentation or deny access for service animals. Your message should acknowledge the service animal, confirm acceptance, and note any relevant property details (e.g. yard fencing, nearby relief areas). Our service animal template uses ADA-compliant language.
How do I professionally decline an early check-in request on Airbnb?
Acknowledge the request warmly, explain you have back-to-back bookings (or cleaning to complete), and offer alternatives such as a luggage drop-off or recommend a nearby café. If you can accommodate early check-in for a fee or when booking permits, our template covers that scenario too.
Can I change the tone of these Airbnb message templates?
Yes. Every template comes with multiple tone variants — friendly, professional, and firm — so you can match the style to your guest relationship and the situation. Select the tone that fits, fill in any variables, and copy.
Do these message templates work for VRBO and other rental platforms?
Absolutely. The templates are written for any short-term rental platform — Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, direct bookings, and more. They use plain, platform-agnostic language you can paste into any messaging inbox.
Are these Airbnb message templates free?
Yes, all templates in the library are 100% free. No account, no sign-up, and no credit card required. Just browse, copy, personalise, and send.
