To be retained
- Separate courtesy attentions from the information necessary for the stay.
- Adapt the kit to the length of stay, type of accommodation and season.
- Link physical media to a digital booklet accessible by QR code.
The practical base to prepare before gifts
Before choosing cookies or a bottle, check that the guest knows how to enter, connect to Wi-Fi and reach you in case of a real problem. A map in the entrance can recall the name of the dwelling, the useful contact and the QR code to the booklet.
In the booklet, store the address, schedules, parking, access codes, Wi-Fi and first instructions. This base prevents the attention offered from being wasted by a complicated arrival.
Simple attentions depending on your accommodation
For one night, make sure you have water, coffee or tea and a little local attention. For a family stay, add some basic necessities and clear information about nearby shops. In a cottage, a regional product and a producer recommendation create a natural link with the destination.
Avoid products that are difficult to store and indicate allergens when necessary. Low cost but consistent attention to the place often seems more sincere than a standardized basket.

Make the reception last after the first minutes
The physical kit creates a first smile. The Airbnb digital guest book Then take over during the entire stay: heating operation, restaurants, sorting, departure or useful numbers. It remains searchable on phone without application.
This combination keeps a human touch while giving the guest autonomy. The QR printed code does not change when you update the content.
