What this sheet is for

Answer the questions every guest asks in the first hour before they ask them. One page, on the desk in the room.

Who it is for

Guest house and bed and breakfast owners, small hotels and anyone letting rooms who does not have a printed folder for every room.

How to use it

  1. Fill in the house-wide details — contacts, breakfast, checkout, parking — once.
  2. Photocopy the sheet for every room.
  3. Add the room number, the Wi-Fi details and the room's own quirks by hand on each copy.
  4. Write the local information from what you actually know, not a listing.
  5. Replace the copy whenever a time or a number changes.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: The sheet that waits in the room — the things a guest needs to know about this house on the night they arrive. Fill in the house-wide details once and photocopy it; add the room number, the Wi-Fi and the room's own quirks by hand on each copy. Every time and rule on it is yours.

Questions

Why are the breakfast and checkout times blank?

Because they are your times. A printed time would be wrong for most houses and would be the thing a guest quoted back to you. Write in your own, and change them on the sheet when they change.

Why is there fire information on a guest sheet?

Because a guest wants to know where the nearest exit and the assembly point are, and this sheet has a line for each. What else you are expected to display, and where, is a matter for the rules where you are — check them.
