The answer
Provide a short, clear list consistent with what was disclosed and the applicable booking process. Focus on departure time, entry security, and any reasonable agreed tasks. Avoid surprising guests with an extensive cleaning obligation after they have paid for accommodation.
Explain how to report damage or forgotten items. A useful checkout message helps the next turnover without creating an unnecessary burden.
