Digital guest guide or PDF welcome book: what changes for the guest

A PDF is a good first step: it is free and quick. But guests have to find it, download it and zoom into it on a small screen. A digital guest guide is built for the phone and for the moment the guest needs it.

No credit card. Every feature for 14 days, then plans from €99 a year.

The everyday problem

Where a PDF welcome book falls short

The PDF is attached to an email in a long thread, and the question arrives anyway.

  • Hard to find again at the door at night
  • Small text and no search on a phone
  • A new version means sending the file again

How the Guest Guide helps

What a web guide does better

One link, nothing to download

The guest taps the link, in the browser, and the right page opens. No file to store or find again.

Made for the small screen

Short pages, a copy button on the Wi-Fi password, a map for places nearby: designed for a phone, not a printed page.

Always the latest version

Edit once and the link every guest already has shows the new content. No re-sending files.

Good to know

  • A PDF still works without a connection once downloaded; the guide is a web page and needs one.
  • The Guest Guide does not replace your booking channel messages: it gives guests a link to put in them.

Questions hosts ask

Is a PDF welcome book enough?

For a very simple rental it can be. It stops being enough when you need door codes on the right dates, online check-in or content that stays current.

Can guests save the guide?

Guests keep the link and can open it again from the same message or QR code whenever they need it.

Do I lose my PDF content?

No. You can reuse the same texts in the editor, and the PDF remains yours.
