Modified on Wed, 2 Nov, 2022 at 9:14 AM

Pre-stay emails are an important tool in providing guests with details in preparation of their stay at your property. With RoomRaccoon's PMS, you can easily send and personalise pre-stay emails.


The Pre-stay emails include: 


  • Check-in and Check-out times.


  • The number of stay nights.


  • Information about points of interest and activities they can do on your property as well as within surrounding areas.

Good To Know

  • If your guest cannot find the pre-stay email, RoomRaccoon recommends checking the spam folder as email providers block emails from companies resulting in emails landing in the spam inbox. 


  • You can set which mandatory fields guests should fill in during the online check-in. For more on creating mandatory guest fields, click here
