When is Airbnb’s guidebook enough?

If you have one booking channel and mainly want to recommend restaurants, walks and attractions, Airbnb’s tools may be enough. They are already in the host dashboard and do not require another service.

It is worth remembering that the Airbnb guidebook and house manual have slightly different jobs. One helps guests discover the area; the other shares instructions about the home.

What does a standalone guest guide add?

StaayGuide brings pre-arrival information and in-stay details together. You send one link, print one QR code and do not have to decide where to place the door code, Wi-Fi password or checkout instructions.

That is especially useful if you accept bookings from several places or want to share the guide with guests who do not use the Airbnb app.

The simple choice

Choose Airbnb’s guidebook if you only need a feature inside Airbnb. Choose StaayGuide if you want a branded, organised guest page that you can share with one link across every booking channel.
