Guest Guide

The guide guests actually use.

The places you love, in your words — so guests get a stay only you could give them, and the things they'll remember. The practical stuff they'd otherwise message you about — WiFi, check-in, directions — is already in their pocket. And when a guest taps the WiFi, Daybook shows they've probably arrived.

Everything in one link

The questions guests ask before they arrive.
Already answered.

WiFi password. How to find the property. Check-in instructions. Where to park. What to do if something goes wrong. Guests get it before they ask. You don't get the message.

And when a guest taps the WiFi tile, Daybook knows they've probably arrived. No "did you find the place?" message needed.

What's included

Everything a guest needs.
Nothing they don't.

📶 WiFi tap check-in

Guest taps to reveal the WiFi password. That tap is an arrival signal — Daybook flags it so you know they're in without sending a message.

📍 Directions and parking

Direct link to Maps, plus any specific instructions for finding the property. No more "we're lost" messages at 10pm.

🔑 Check-in instructions

Key safe code, door instructions, alarm code — whatever your property needs. Visible to the guest, invisible to everyone else.

⭐ Local recommendations

Restaurants, walks, things to do. Your personal picks, presented cleanly. Guests who feel looked after leave better reviews.

Share the places you love

Google knows what's nearby.
It doesn't know what you love.

Opening hours, maps, the nearest supermarket — guests can Google all of that. What they can't Google is the thing that makes your place yours: the pub you walk to, the café you love, the corner of the beach nobody else knows. Your recommendations, in your words. That's the part no app and no search engine can copy.

The Cross Keys
"Perfect for afternoon drinking on a sunny day. Get the garden if you can."
The river path
"Twenty minutes upstream there's a spot we swim every summer. Everyone has a dog here."

A guest who's looked after the way you'd look after a friend leaves a better review. Daybook only ever maps it, fetches the photos and finds the hours — the words stay yours.

The live signal

When a guest taps the WiFi details,
Daybook shows they've probably arrived.

Guests almost always tap WiFi when they get in. It's the first thing they need. Daybook records that signal and brings it back into your daily view — so you know they're inside without sending "did you find the place?"

The guide is not just something guests read. It feeds back into Daybook.

A WiFi tap is a strong signal, not a legal confirmation. Daybook says "probably arrived" — the wording matches the confidence.

Why it matters

Guests get answers before they ask.
You send fewer repeat messages.

A PDF gets ignored. An old WhatsApp thread gets buried. A proper mobile guide reduces repeated admin to almost nothing — WiFi, parking, check-in, heating, checkout, where to eat. Already there.

And the daily view becomes more useful because the guide contributes signals back. See how it shows in Daily View →

No friction

Guests don't download an app.

It's a link. They tap it. The guide opens in their browser. Nothing to install, nothing to log into. Updates from you appear instantly the next time they open it — so you can fix a typo, add a recommendation or update checkout time without re-sending anything.

FAQ

Honest answers.

Do guests need to download an app?

No. The guide is a web link. They tap it and it opens in their browser. Works on iPhone, Android, anything.

Can the guide be different for each property?

Yes — and it has to be, since WiFi and directions are per-property. Each property has its own guide. Plan ~5–10 minutes per property the first time you set them up. You can copy a guide from one property to another as a starting point and then change the bits that differ.

Can I update it after sending?

Yes — the link stays the same, the content updates instantly. So you can fix a typo, swap a restaurant recommendation or change checkout time without re-sending anything to the guest.

How does the WiFi-tap signal work?

The WiFi password is hidden behind a "Tap to reveal" tile. When the guest taps it, Daybook records the timestamp. Most guests tap WiFi within minutes of arriving — so it's a useful proxy for "they're inside."

Does it prove the guest has arrived?

No. It's a signal, not proof. Someone could tap the WiFi tile from outside the property, and Daybook only ever says "probably arrived." If you need certainty, ask. The signal just means you usually don't have to.

Can I add local recommendations?

Yes. Restaurants, walks, shops, things to do — all editable in the same guide. Your personal picks come across more useful than a generic city guide.

What does the host see?

Inside the Daily View: a "guide ready" line on the booking, then "opened" if the guest views it before arrival, then "probably arrived · WiFi tapped" once they tap.
