How to create a QR sign for Airbnb

2026-09-01 · 6 min read

If you manage a vacation rental, you know the same five questions come up on every booking. A well-placed set of QR signs answers them before they turn into a chat message.

The set of five

1. WiFi, at the entrance or in the living room. By far the most used.
2. House guide, in the kitchen: appliances, trash, heating.
3. House rules, visible in the living room: quiet hours, pets, parties.
4. Check-in and check-out, by the door: lockbox, times, towels.
5. Reviews, also by the door, for the moment guests leave.

What to put behind each code

You don't need a website. A shared document in read-only mode, a simple page, or even a PDF hosted on your own domain all work. What matters is that the address is stable and the document reads well on a phone, with large text and no need to zoom.

If you host international guests, include an English version inside the same document, with an index at the top. It's far better than duplicating signs.

Why printed in 3D and not in a photo frame

In a rental, everything paper ends up wet, bent or gone. A printed plaque wipes clean with a cloth, doesn't peel off, and nobody accidentally packs it in their suitcase. It also signals that the place is well cared for, and that shows up in reviews.

Style

Pick colors that match the home: a cream or light-wood base with a dark brown or forest-green code stays discreet and keeps plenty of contrast. Avoid pure black and white if the rental has a warm style: it works just as well and clashes less.

Placement

• WiFi: entrance, eye height, the first thing seen walking in.
• Guide: kitchen, next to the stove or fridge.
• Rules: living room, visible area.
• Check-in / check-out: by the door, inside.
• Reviews: by the door, at hand height.
