Frequently Asked Questions(6)
How quickly should I respond to a maintenance request from an Airbnb guest?
Respond within 1 hour for anything affecting habitability (no hot water, HVAC failure, appliance outage) and within 24 hours for non-urgent requests. A fast response — even to say you're looking into it — dramatically reduces the chance of a negative review.
How do I follow up on a noise complaint from a neighbour?
First message your guests calmly with the specific complaint and a clear request to reduce noise (use our quiet-hours reminder template). If the issue continues, send a firm escalation message. Document both messages in the Airbnb platform. Log the neighbour's report in case you need to file an AirCover incident.
What is a mid-stay cleaning message for Airbnb?
A mid-stay cleaning message offers complimentary or paid interim cleaning for guests staying 5+ nights. Use it to maintain property standards, generate extra revenue, and show hospitality. Our templates offer both a complimentary version and a paid upsell version.
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.
