A smooth arrival starts with one clear message
For a homestay or Airbnb, the arrival is the moment guests are most anxious. They are tired, often in an unfamiliar town, and the map pin may land on the wrong lane. A single clear message with the address, a landmark, a map link, the check-in time and how to get in prevents most of the late-night calls and bad first impressions. This generator builds two versions from the same details: a short WhatsApp message and a detailed page you can print or send as a PDF.
What to include
- Address and landmark: in hill towns, villages and old city lanes, a landmark such as “blue gate opposite the post office” is often more useful than the postal address.
- Map link: drop the pin at your actual gate, not the locality, then copy the share link.
- Getting in: who meets the guest, or where the key or lockbox is and the code. For late arrivals, say what happens after a certain time.
- Wi-Fi, parking and contacts: the host's number, and an emergency number. 112 is India's national emergency number; add a local hospital or police station number if you like.
When and how to send it
- Send the WhatsApp message one or two days before arrival, and ask for the expected arrival time.
- Send the detailed page as a PDF for families, foreign guests and late arrivals.
- On the morning of arrival, send a short reminder with the map link again.
Put the Wi-Fi details on a card in the room too; the Wi-Fi QR code generator makes one guests can scan. For the rest of the stay, including checkout and review requests, the WhatsApp message templates save time.
Self check-in safety tips
- Share lockbox codes only with confirmed guests and change them after every few stays.
- Keep a spare key with a trusted neighbour or caretaker.
- Collect guest ID as required by your local authorities, even when check-in is contactless.
- Test the route yourself with the map link you send, at night as well as by day.

Frequently asked questions
When should I send check-in instructions to guests?
One or two days before arrival works best, with a short reminder on the morning of check-in. Sending too early means guests may not find the message when they need it.
Is it safe to send lockbox codes on WhatsApp?
Send codes only to confirmed guests in a private chat, never in a public listing, and change the code regularly. Keep a backup key with someone you trust.
What emergency number should I give guests in India?
112 is the national emergency number in India. You can also add your own number, a caretaker, and the nearest hospital or police station.
