Pro's

Airbnb hosts can add a personal touch to their guests' stay by sharing local tips, including recommendations for restaurants, bars, cafes, grocery shops, and more.

With an online welcome book, hosts can easily share this information with their guests without repeating themselves or wasting time. Additionally, an online welcome book can be edited and updated at any time, making it a better option than a printed version that can become damaged, lost, or obsolete.

Con's

There are some limitations to using the Airbnb welcome book. For example, hosts cannot include media, such as videos or photos, in their welcome book. Additionally, the welcome book is only available to guests who book through Airbnb, so hosts cannot share it with guests who book through other platforms, such as Booking.com or VRBO.

Finally, the welcome book only allows hosts to include limited information about their property and the surrounding area.
