How do I communicate changes before arrival?

The answer
Explain the specific change, its effect on the stay, and the options available under the applicable terms and process. Notify affected guests promptly rather than hoping they will not notice. Do not minimize a material change or offer an uncertain replacement as confirmed.
Update the listing for future reservations as well. Keep communications and operational records aligned so the team understands what was promised.
This answer is general education. Apply it to the property's actual location, agreements, and circumstances. Where a decision requires professional advice, use a qualified adviser.
