The Airbnb Welcome Screen Guests Actually See

Why It Works

Why Airbnb hosts put a welcome screen on the TV

Most guests do the same thing within ten minutes of arriving: drop the bags, find the WiFi, and turn on the TV. A welcome screen meets them there. The details they would otherwise message you about are already on the biggest screen in the room.

The house manual in the Airbnb app is easy to miss and the printed binder ends up under a stack of magazines. The TV gets switched on every stay. It's also an easy way to look like a Superhost-level operation without extra work on turnover day.

FAQ

Airbnb Welcome Screen FAQs

What is an Airbnb welcome screen?

An Airbnb welcome screen is a digital greeting shown on your listing's TV. When guests switch the TV on they see a welcome message with their name, the WiFi network and password, check-in and check-out times, your contact number, and the local weather. It does the job of a printed welcome sign or house binder, but it stays current and guests actually see it.

How do I set up a welcome screen on my Airbnb TV?

Create a free WelcomeSign account and enter your property details and welcome message. Then install the free WelcomeSign channel from the Roku Channel Store on the TV's Roku, open it to get a pairing code, and enter that code in your dashboard. The welcome screen is live in about 15 minutes.

Is there a free Airbnb TV welcome screen app?

Yes. WelcomeSign is free forever for one property with up to 2 TVs, and you don't need a credit card. If you host more listings, Hoster covers up to 5 properties with unlimited TVs for $29 a year, and Business covers up to 20 for $59 a year.

Which TVs does it work on?

WelcomeSign runs today on every Roku streaming device and Roku TV. If your rental's TV isn't a Roku, a Roku streaming stick costs about $30 and plugs into any HDMI port. Apps for Samsung, LG, Fire TV, Apple TV and Google TV are in development.

Is WelcomeSign affiliated with Airbnb?

No. WelcomeSign is an independent product for short-term rental hosts. It works for any listing, whether you book through Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com or direct.
