I agree with Jonathan Spector that you probably wouldn\'t have heard \"bene venitus\" in classical times in Rome. The general greeting, also when welcoming someone into your house, probably was salve / salvete;
but if you really want to stress the welcome-aspect above the mere greeting, you might say \"hospitio receptus sis\" (be received with hospitality)
