Digital guest guidebook
A clearer guest experience. A more profitable property.
Centralize stay information in a digital guest guidebook accessible in one click. Whether you call it an Airbnb welcome book, an Airbnb guest guide, or a vacation rental welcome book, it gives each property one clear source of truth.
QUICK DEFINITION
What is a digital guidebook for short-term rentals?
A digital guidebook is a mobile-friendly property guide that gives guests one place for arrival details, Wi-Fi, house rules, local recommendations, videos, and optional services. Unlike a PDF or a long message thread, the host updates one live source without changing the link already shared with guests.
- Guests open it in a browser from a link or QR code, with no app to download.
- The host updates the content while keeping the same public guide URL.
- Each property keeps its own instructions, media, services, and enabled languages.
