One very important rule of being a good (and welcome to return) guest that none of the posters mentioned is, (for a no sleepover guest) to know when it’s time to leave. Some guests don’t know when the host is ready to shift gears. Either to go to sleep or attend a simcha that they have an obligation to go to. I’ve had such a Shabbos and Yom Tov guest. He was very pleasant company, shmoozing and exchanging stories during the meal. After “Bentching” & desert, no amount of hinting would help. I was obligated to show at a Sheva Brochos. I was in a dilemma. So I invited the guest to come along to the SB. Which he declined. But it helped get me out the door.
