A warm “thank you for staying with us” message is often the last thing guests read before they head home, and it shapes how they remember the whole visit. Whether you run an Airbnb, manage a small hotel or B&B, or simply hosted family for the holidays, a short and sincere note turns a nice stay into a place people want to return to. If you were the guest instead, our guide on how to thank someone for letting you stay at their house has messages for that side of the visit. This post is for the hosts.
Below you’ll find 160+ ready-to-use messages sorted by the kind of stay: vacation rentals, hotels, bed and breakfasts, family and friends, holiday visits, review replies, funny notes and blessings. Copy one, add the guest’s name and one detail from their visit, and send it the day they check out.
Thank You for Staying With Us: What to Say
The best host messages are short, personal and warm. Start by thanking the guest by name. Then mention one real detail, like the birthday they celebrated, the hike they told you about or how tidy they left the kitchen. Finish with an open door: an invitation to come back, a safe-travels wish or a gentle request for a review if you run a rental. That simple three-part formula works for a hotel card, an Airbnb app message and a text to your mother-in-law alike.

Thank You for Staying With Us Quotes and Sayings About Guests
People have written about hospitality for thousands of years. Add one of these to a card or a guest-book page.
- “Fish and visitors stink in three days.” – Benjamin Franklin, Poor Richard’s Almanack
- “Welcome the coming, speed the parting guest.” – Homer, The Odyssey (Alexander Pope’s translation)

Tips for Writing a Thank You for Staying With Us Message
- Use their name. “Thank you for staying with us, Maria” feels personal; “Dear guest” feels automated.
- Mention one detail. Their anniversary, the kids’ first beach trip or the great review they left. One line is enough.
- Send it at the right time. A checkout-day message lands best. For rentals, a follow-up a day later can gently ask for a review.
- Match the tone to the guest. Keep hotel and rental notes polished, and save the jokes for family and friends.
- Leave the door open. End with an invitation to return, a returning-guest discount or simply “come back soon.”
Christmas thank you messages are useful if your guests left gifts behind or you want to thank them again during the holiday season.
