Journey (Guest)

The guest journey encompasses the entirety of a guest’s experience from the moment they make a booking for a property until they depart.

What are the key stages of the guest journey?

The guest journey includes booking confirmation, pre-arrival communication, check-in, the stay experience, and post-departure follow-up. Each stage should be seamless, with clear instructions and prompt support to ensure satisfaction.

How can hosts improve pre-arrival communication?

Send a welcome email with check-in details, house rules, and local tips (e.g., nearby cafes, transport options). Automated reminders about parking, Wi-Fi codes, and key collection reduce last-minute stress for guests.

What makes check-in smooth for guests?

Self-check-in via smart locks or lockboxes is preferred, with clear instructions and photos if needed. A welcome pack (with essentials like tea, coffee, and emergency contacts) enhances the first impression.

How important is post-stay follow-up?

Crucial—a thank-you message with a review request encourages feedback and repeat bookings. Addressing any concerns quickly shows guests their experience matters, improving future ratings.
