"Honestly I didn't expect it to make such a difference but my phone is just... quieter now. Guests sort themselves out a lot more than they used to."

Easy for you to make, easy for guests to use. Share WiFi, house rules, check-in and local tips on one link. No app, no printing.
Loved by Airbnb hosts and short-term rental pros
Loved by hosts on
Built for hosts who are tired of answering the same questions
HelloGuestbook gives you one link that replaces the printed welcome binder, the house manual and the messages you retype every stay. Add a page for anything your place needs, like how the wood stove works or where to leave the keys.
A Personalized House Manual & Welcome Guide
House rules, check-in steps, how the wood stove works. Everything your guests need to settle in, in one place.
Pages for Anything
The washing machine, the recycling, the coffee machine. Give each one its own page with your own photo.
Before, During and After
Answer "how does the dishwasher work?" with a link instead of a paragraph. Every page has its own link, and the guidebook works before, during and after the stay.
Share Your WiFi Password Instantly with a QR Code
Guests scan the QR code in your digital guidebook and they're connected. No typing, no guessing if it's a zero or an O.
No more "What's the WiFi?" messages.
No more password hassles or confusion.
Scan to connect, or copy the password.
Pro
Share Local Recommendations on a Custom Guest Map
Guests ask where to eat, where to buy groceries and which beach is worth the drive. Put your answers on a map, with your own notes and photos.
Your Own Picks
The bakery that opens at seven, the beach without the crowds. The places you'd send a friend to.
How Far, and How to Get There
Every place shows its distance from the house and opens directions with one tap. Guests see miles or kilometers, whichever they're used to.
Pro
Translate Your Guidebook Into Your Guests' Language
Guests from abroad read your check-in steps, house rules and local tips in their own language. You write the guidebook once. They pick from more than 30 languages.
Check-In Without Guesswork
The key box, the parking, the checkout steps. That's where mix-ups happen. Guests read them in the language they think in.
No Second Version
Nothing to paste into a translator, nothing to keep in sync. Edit a page and the next guest reads the change in their language.
Pro
See How Guests Use Your Guidebook
Analytics shows how often guests open your guidebook, on which days, and which pages they read.
Pages They Read
Which pages get read most, and how long guests spend on them.
WiFi and Links
How often guests tap the WiFi card, and which of your links they open.
What hosts are saying
Hosts in 29 countries have made a guidebook with HelloGuestbook. Here's what a few of them say.
"I was skeptical at first because I'd wasted time on other tools that never stuck. The duplicate feature sold me. Set it up once and just copied it across all my properties. Took maybe an hour total. "

Why Hosts Choose a Digital Guidebook Over Paper
A printed binder can only be in one place, and only be right until something changes. Here is what a digital guidebook does differently.
The old way
Paper welcome binder
- Lost, stained, or left behind
- "What's the WiFi?" — 10× per stay
- Useless the moment guests leave the door
- Outdated rules, annoying to reprint
helloguestbook.com/stay
The new way
Digital guidebook
- Always on any phone, no apps, no logins
- Scan-and-go WiFi, zero typing
- Guests self-serve, even before arrival
- Update once, live everywhere, instantly
Built for every type of short-term rental
Whether you run a single listing or manage a portfolio, HelloGuestbook adapts to how you host.

What is a digital guidebook for Airbnb?
A digital guidebook, also called a digital guest book or welcome book, is a mobile-friendly guide hosts share by link or QR code. It covers WiFi, house rules, check-in instructions and local recommendations, replacing printed binders and repetitive guest messages.
Is HelloGuestbook free?
Yes. Every new account gets the Pro plan free for 30 days, no card needed. After that you can stay on the Free plan without paying. Upgrade only if you need more pages, more guidebooks, or premium features.
Do my guests need to download an app?
No download, no login, no account. Guests open a link or scan a QR code and everything loads instantly in their web-browser.
How do I share my guidebook with Airbnb guests?
Share the link in your Airbnb message thread, booking confirmation, or automated pre-arrival message. You can also print a QR code and leave it at the property.
Will this help me get better Airbnb reviews?
Nobody can promise you a five star review. What a guidebook removes is the friction that shows up in the bad ones: Wi-Fi that took three messages to sort out, a check-out time nobody could find, a recommendation that closed last year. Your guests get one link that answers those before they have to ask.
Can I use HelloGuestbook for VRBO or Booking.com?
Yes. HelloGuestbook works for any short-term rental platform. You share a link, so it works anywhere you can send a message.
