Guest-Ready Checklist

Room by room, to a property manager's standard

A guest forms an opinion before they've put their bags down. This checklist takes you through a holiday rental or short-stay room by room, in the order that matters. Safety and sleep first, styling last. It's the standard guests now expect, set out so you can tick it off as you go.

Inside you'll find eight steps: safe and legal, sleep, bathrooms, kitchen, arrival, easy turnovers, finishing touches, and a final walkthrough before your first guest. Each step includes insider rules from properties we've set up, and the ★ shows where to start if budget is tight.

Print it, or keep it on your phone as you walk through.
