How to Automate Your Airbnb to Save Time and Impress Guests

Running an Airbnb shouldn’t feel like a full-time job.
Between managing bookings, answering guest questions, and sending check-in instructions, things can get overwhelming fast. That’s where automation comes in.

Why Automate Your Airbnb?

  • Save time: Focus more on hosting, less on repeating the same messages.

  • Improve guest experience: Guests get timely, consistent communication.

  • Reduce human error: No more forgotten check-in codes or lost WiFi info.

What Can You Automate?

  • Messaging: Use tools like Hospitable or Airbnb’s built-in messaging to send check-in instructions, welcome messages, and reviews.

  • Smart locks: No more key exchanges—use a code that resets after each guest.

  • Cleaning schedules: Automatically notify cleaners based on your calendar.

  • Guest info: Instead of sending PDFs or paper brochures, use a guest app.

One Step Further: Use a Guest App

With something like Guestri, your guests can access everything in one place:

  • House rules

  • Check-in/out times

  • Local recommendations

  • Upselling options (like bike rentals or private dinners)

No need for you to copy-paste messages anymore. Everything’s ready from the moment they check in.
