Frequently Asked Questions(6)
What should I say to Airbnb guests during a power outage?
Message guests immediately to acknowledge the outage, confirm whether it's a local grid issue or property-specific, provide an estimated restoration time if known, share torch/candle locations in the property, and give your direct contact number. Our power outage template covers all these points calmly and professionally.
How do I handle a water leak emergency during an Airbnb stay?
First, call your plumber. Then immediately message guests to advise them of the situation, any rooms/areas to avoid, evacuation or relocation options if needed, and confirm you're handling it urgently. Document everything in the Airbnb platform and file an AirCover claim if there is property damage.
How do I send a noise escalation message to Airbnb guests?
If a gentle quiet-hours reminder hasn't worked, send a firm escalation that references the original message, states the specific concern (ongoing noise after [time]), reminds guests that continued violations may result in early termination per house rules, and gives them one clear opportunity to comply. Our noise escalation template is firm but professional.
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.
