Why You’ll Love Using a Digital Guest Manual

Designed to save time, reduce repetitive questions, and create a smoother experience for both you and your guests.

More time for you

Stop answering the same questions over and over. Let your guide handle the small stuff so you can focus on what matters.

Elevate the experience

Give guests a smooth start and make your place feel easy to use — from Wi-Fi to the coffee machine.

Boost your reviews

Happy guests leave better feedback. A clear, easy-to-follow manual can help earn those 5-star ratings.

Set clear expectations

House rules, check-out times, pet policies — make it crystal clear so there's no confusion during their stay.

Encourage repeat stays

Guests who feel confident and informed are more likely to book again — or recommend you to friends.

Highlight what’s special

Whether it’s the spa pool, smart lights or local hikes, make sure your guests know exactly what makes your place unique.

Frequently Asked Questions

It would be best to connect the Hospitable Integration over the AirBnB Integration as there will be more data-points and more options available to you, making it even easier to automatically populate your Guestbook content.

Certainly, simply connect the Integration, and only activate a single property.

There is no limit, we make it easy to create a single Guestbook, and you can then duplicate the content to additional properties.

BetterSTR is free to use!

We do offer optional paid services that allow you to send text messages to your guests at specific times before check-in. You can choose when to send these messages - 2 hours, 4 hours, 24 hours, or 48 hours before arrival. These SMS notifications are an optional premium feature to enhance your guests' experience.
