The answer

Confirm the reservation details and explain what information the guest will receive next. Keep the message concise and consistent with the booking channel's current process. Avoid adding material conditions that were not disclosed before booking.

Tell guests how to ask questions and clarify any practical detail relevant to their plans. A useful confirmation reassures through accuracy rather than overwhelming the guest with a full manual.

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.
