Host Interview Guide for Guests

1/1/2015

0 Comments

 
This is a follow up to the article I wrote titled, The Art of Being a Guest. The idea is to use this guide to understand your host better from the beginning so you can be the best possible guest. Feel free to adapt it to your own needs if you like.

Hi! I'm really happy to be staying with you. Thanks so much for letting me!
I really try my best to be an awesome guest. For that reason, I want to ask a few quick questions that will help set expectations for me from house orderliness to what you like. And please, give me feedback! If I do something that you don't like, let me know. Most likely I don't even know I'm doing it. I've been accused of being clueless before- consider yourself warned ;)

Just a note about what expectations you can have of me- unless you tell me otherwise, I won't invite myself to meals, or use your food or supplies, for example, if I'm cooking. In the latter case, I'll ask first.

  • What are the main rules of the house?
  • When do you normally go to bed and get up in the morning? When do you leave for work or school? How late would you want me returning? Is it OK to quietly let myself in?
  • What is your biggest pet peeve about house cleanliness and orderliness? What have previous guests done that has really annoyed you?
  • On the other hand, describe your favorite guests to me and what they did that made them so awesome.
  • What do you like to drink, if you drink? What's your favorite cuisine or meal? What's a good day for you to go out to eat, my treat?
  • Do you want to join me on any sightseeing or adventures, and if so, when? This is just so that we can both be on the same page- any answer is fine! I'd love to do things with you, but I also understand that you have your normal routine going on!
  • What is your favorite thing in the whole world?
