Hostguide

HostGuide helps Airbnb and short-term rental hosts reduce repetitive guest messages using QR-powered digital guidebooks — now with multi-language support and TV display mode.

Most hosts already have a house manual. The problem? Guests rarely read long PDFs or dig through links. When information is hard to find, guests default to messaging the host.

“How does the washing machine work?”
“What’s the Wi-Fi password?”
“How do we turn on the heating?”

HostGuide solves this by making information instantly accessible at the point of need.

Hosts create simple, structured guides for their property — Wi-Fi details, appliance instructions, check-out steps, parking info, local recommendations, and more. Each guide automatically generates a QR code that can be placed near appliances or around the home. Guests scan and instantly see the exact instructions they need — no app downloads, no logins, no friction.

Unlike traditional digital guidebooks, HostGuide is designed around real guest behavior. Instead of assuming guests will read everything upfront, it delivers the right information exactly when they need it.

HostGuide also supports multiple languages including Chinese, Hindi, and Spanish. Guides can be translated so international guests can access clear instructions in their preferred language — reducing misunderstandings and improving the overall stay experience.

For properties with smart TVs or display screens, HostGuide can also be shown in TV mode. This allows hosts to present house information, Wi-Fi details, and instructions directly on a large screen inside the property — creating a more professional and hotel-like experience.

For hosts, this means:
