Arrival details

How to arrive, written down once

You send it fifteen times a week from a phone. It is the same message every time, and it belongs on a page.

A real Clay site, built from a Google listing

Every guesthouse owner has a message they retype every few days: what time you can come, where the door is, where to leave a car, and what to do if the train is late.

So it is a page, and the link goes in the confirmation. Nobody arrives without it, nobody messages you at eleven at night about a key, and the one thing you did not think to mention gets added the day somebody asks.

The four things

Time, door, car, late

From three, until ten. Which door, and what it looks like from the street. Where a car goes and what it costs. And what to do if the train is late, which is the one everybody worries about.

The photograph of the door does more than the address does. Guests are looking for a building they have never seen, at night, with a suitcase.

Why not just the email

A page can be reread

A confirmation from three weeks ago is unfindable on a phone at a station. A page is one tap from a message, and it is the same page for everybody.

And when something changes, it changes once. A road closed, a code changed, a new arrangement for late arrivals, and every guest who looks has the current version.

What you get

The times, both ends

From and until. Until is the one people forget to publish, and it is what generates the late night message.

A photograph of the door

Guests are looking for a building they have never seen, often at night. The picture does more than the address.

What to do if it goes wrong

A late train, a wrong turn, a locked gate. One line each, and nobody has to invent a plan at midnight.

What it looks like when it is live

Drawn rather than described, the page, the address, and what it can switch on.

Questions

Should this page be public?

The details usually can be. Anything that is a key or a code goes in the message, not on a page a search engine can read.

What do guests ask most?

Parking, then the door, then how late they can arrive. Answer those three and the messages mostly stop.

How do I get people to read it?

Link it from the booking confirmation and from the reminder the day before, which is when somebody is actually packing.

What about house rules?

A short version belongs here, because the awkward ones are easier read in advance than said at the door.

Does this work for a rental rather than rooms?

It is more useful there, because nobody is at the door: how rental booking works sits alongside it.

Should I include a map?

Yes: a map with directions, because the last two hundred metres are the part that goes wrong.

What if something changes for one week?

Change the page. It takes a minute from a phone and every guest who looks has the current version, which an email sent in March does not.
