And your head.

What’s the Wi-Fi password?Where are the spare bulbs?

So every questioncomes back to you.

Four kinds of guide. One place to build them.

Write it once, send the link, and your team and guests find the answer themselves instead of messaging you.

SOPs

Write your SOPs once.

Some processes aren’t tied to one property: how you vet guests, how your VA answers the inbox, what to do about a chargeback. Write them up as SOPs that cover your whole portfolio, so every new hire learns the same way your last one did.

Cleaner guides

Give cleaners a checklist for every turnaround.

Lay out the clean step by step, with photos, in the order it’s done: which bin goes out on which night, where the fresh linen lives, how to reset the heating. Write it once, and every cleaner, new or regular, does the job the same way.

Staff guides

Give your team the answers only you know.

A guide for your VA, co-host or maintenance team: who to call when a guest is locked out, where the spare key is, how to handle a boiler call-out at 11pm. They can sort it without ringing you.

Guest guides

Add your property details. Guests see them on their phone.

Guest guides start with the sections already laid out: getting in, parking, Wi-Fi, how things work, local picks and house rules. Fill in the blanks and the live preview updates as you type.

Works with your PMS

A guide is just a link, so it drops into the check-in message your PMS already sends. Works with Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo guests too.

Questions

Before you start.

Something not covered? Email us and a person will reply.

Is this any good for onboarding a new team member?

It's the reason most people start. Instead of explaining everything twice, you send your SOPs plus the property guides they'll work on. They read the same thing your last hire did, videos included, and you're not on the phone all week.

What's the difference between an SOP and a property guide?

An SOP (standard operating procedure) is a process that applies across the whole business: running a background check, how the VA handles the inbox, what to do about a chargeback. A property guide belongs to one building, and you make one per audience: guests, cleaners, staff.

Can a cleaner see the guest guide?

No. Every guide has its own link, so people only ever see the one you sent them. Guest guides open as a branded welcome; team guides open as a plain index, because hospitality framing reads as odd to someone at work.

Do my team or guests need accounts?

Nobody does. Both open as a normal web page on any phone, with no app, no login and no per-seat cost for a cleaner you use twice a month.

Can I change a guide after I've shared the link?

Any time. The link stays the same and edits appear immediately, so you can fix a door code mid-stay or correct a turnaround step without resending anything.

How long does this take to set up?

A first guest guide takes most hosts under an hour, since the sections are already laid out. Team guides and SOPs take as long as the process is, but you write each one once, for good.

Are the guides private?

Each link is unguessable, and you can set an expiry date so a link stops working after checkout. You can also see how many times each link has been opened, which is a useful way to tell whether the guide was actually read.

Does it work with Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com?

Yes, because it isn't tied to any of them. Paste the guest link into your welcome message on any platform, print the QR for the kitchen counter, or send it to direct-booking guests yourself.
