About this template

A reminder for hosts on a holiday rental or short stay platform, sent a few days before a guest arrives. It gathers everything the host needs on one page.

A small pin icon and a navy headline say who arrives and when, with a nudge to share directions. A guest card shows the name, home town and member since date, and a navy button opens the conversation.

A wide photo of the living room reminds the host which listing is booked, followed by the listing name and type. A details panel lists check in, check out and the number of guests, then a note about house rules, the confirmation code with a link to the itinerary, what the guest paid and what the host earns, line by line. A short cancellations section ends the email.

Send it three days before arrival. The same layout works for guests if you swap the wording.
