A free template (€7-12) misses forest-specific safety info on tick bites, wildlife and orientation in the woods; a guide app (~$99/year) rarely goes into that. Welcomap includes that knowledge ready-made, multilingual and native-checked, for a one-time €19.

A free template gives you an empty skeleton you have to fill in and translate yourself. A guide app costs you again every year. Welcomap gives you the quality of the expensive option — finished, multilingual, with a nature safety guide — for a one-time price.
You fill in your own details in the Welcomap app — WiFi network and password, address, house rules and local tips — and see a live preview of your welcome book right away. After payment, you immediately receive the full, watermark-free PDF, ready to print or share. You can always go back to the app to make changes.
Every welcome book comes standard in Dutch, English and German — the three languages that cover most international guests. For €29 instead of €19, you can expand to all 6 languages, adding French, Spanish and Italian, ideal if you regularly welcome guests from those countries.
Yes, always — for free, as often as you like. At purchase you get a personal link to your book in the Welcomap app. Changed your WiFi password, updated a house rule, or found a new favourite restaurant? Open that link, update your details and download the new version right away — no Canva or other program needed.
Most hosts print the welcome book and leave it somewhere visible in the property, for example on the table or next to the keys. You can also add a QR code to the PDF or hang one up separately, so guests can open the book straight on their own phone — handy for anyone who'd rather not flip through a folder.
Advise guests never to eat mushrooms, berries or plants they can't identify with certainty, even if they resemble edible species. If poisoning is suspected: call the Poison Control Centre or 112.
Often not, or only in designated spots — during dry spells, temporary open-fire bans are common. Check the current fire ban with the local forest ranger or municipality before informing guests.
