Digital guidebook for vacation rentals: what to include

Updated 2026-10-16

What belongs in a digital guidebook: arrival, the house, the neighbourhood and checkout, without a novel.

A digital guidebook is the answer list you would otherwise type at 10 p.m. Write it for a tired guest, not for a brochure.

Four blocks

  • Arrival. Address, parking, lockbox, what to do if they are late.
  • The house. Wifi, heating, the appliances that confuse people, house rules in plain language.
  • Around the property. A shop, the bins, a few tips. Not a city guide.
  • Checkout. Time, rubbish, where the key goes.

Tie it to online check-in so you know who is coming before you send a code. Why manuals stay unread is in why guests skip the house manual.

Update the code in one place. Local tips can be suggested; you choose what stays published. Dynamic pricing is not AI. See the portal on Features.

Questions on this topic

How long should a guidebook be?

Short enough to scan on a phone. Details are fine, but wifi, parking and bins belong at the top.

Can the guidebook be translated?

Yes. Automatic guidebook translation is available. Host Ask AI and Guest Ask AI are separate and off until you opt in.
