From digital guidebooks and rental folios to smart WiFi management and our physical companion tablet, we've built everything you need to delight guests and grow your business.
Created by Superhosts since 2015, trusted by thousands of property managers worldwide.
Stop juggling multiple tools. Get everything integrated and working together.
Far more than a digital guidebook. Auto‑sync from Airbnb and 13+ property managers, let AI answer guest questions 24/7, capture emails, upsell extras and earn commissions — all from one branded guide guests open on any device, no app required.
The moment guests turn on the TV, they’re greeted by name with their stay details, guidebook, Wi‑Fi and entertainment — then it becomes your channel for upsells, local guides and even emergency alerts across your whole fleet.
Put your guidebook right on the counter. Our managed Android tablet boots straight into your property’s guide in locked kiosk mode, doubles as a photo‑frame welcome screen, and quietly watches for parties — all remotely managed from one dashboard, from just $2 a device per month.
One login. One platform. Every tool working together.
Your WiFi isn't just internet access - it's a powerful marketing and management platform.
Detect unusual device counts and activity patterns. Get alerts when something seems off. Prevent problems before they happen.
Build your direct marketing list every time a guest connects. Reduce OTA dependency with your own guest database.
Understand guest behavior, peak usage times, and device patterns. Make data-driven decisions about your property.
Control everything from anywhere. Reset routers, manage access, update passwords - all from your phone.
Connect with your existing tools and automate everything
