vacation rental short term rental guest experience

Raise the bar for guest experience

thassos
It's no easy feat to manage over 100 vacation homes/rentals. An even bigger challenge is when they're all full of guests! This is where Hostfully guidebooks came in and saved the day. I've been using Hostfully's guidebooks for over 3 years and our guests love them. They find the information and recommendations we provide extremely helpful and because of it, we believe, they enjoy their stay more.

About Hostfully's Digital Guidebooks​

With Hostfully’s Digital Guidebooks, you’re able to communicate everything a guest needs to know from check-in to check-out about your property, and even provide local recommendations. They’re easy to build & manage, and require no technical expertise at all. When sharing, you can either print, download the PDF version, or provide a simple link to your guest that is optimized to be opened on any device or browse. You can also upsell your extra services and create more revenue streams for your business.

 

Everything about your property the guest should know! How to check-in, where to find certain amenities, how the laundry machine or the hot tub works..it’s endless, really. You can also add as many local recommendations as you want. Your favorite cafes or restaurants, tours your guests can sign up for, places to visit, things to experience, and more. You can also add gift cards or vouchers, simultaneously supporting small businesses in your area.

Beyond this, you can also upsell your own services. Do you offer pick up/drop off? Great! Add that in. How about mid-stay cleaning? Awesome. Add that in too. With upselling, you can create additional revenue streams, which helps you increase your profits while also providing a 5* experience to your guests.
