Guests open the public Guest App on their phone using a dedicated URL or QR code. They can quickly find arrival instructions, check-in and check-out details, Wi-Fi information, house rules, access information, parking, contact details, local recommendations and other property information. The public Guest App uses its own mobile-first layout and is rendered on a dedicated guest-guide URL. It does not replace normal WordPress pages or the active theme frontend. ### Features * Create separate digital guest guides for individual properties * Mobile-friendly public Guest App for guests * Dedicated guest guide URL for every property * Local QR code generation and download * Welcome message, property logo and cover image * Check-in and check-out information * Wi-Fi information * House rules and property instructions * Access, keys, parking and getting-there information * Contact and emergency information * Stay information and custom content * Local recommendations for restaurants, beaches, activities, shopping and sightseeing * Custom primary and accent colors * Theme-independent public Guest App design * Progressive Web App support for an app-like mobile experience * Optional guest review link * Multiple properties supported * No external API or mandatory SaaS account required for the core functionality ### Who is it for? Guest Guide Manager is designed for: * Vacation rental hosts * Holiday home owners * Short-term rental hosts * Villa and apartment owners * Bed and breakfast operators * Property managers who want to provide guests with clear digital arrival and stay information ### How it works Create a guest guide in the WordPress admin, enter the information for the property and publish it. Guest Guide Manager creates a dedicated public Guest App for that property. Share the Guest App URL directly or generate a QR code that guests can scan with their phone. The guest interface is designed for mobile use and keeps important information easy to find during arrival and throughout the stay. ### External Services Guest Guide Manager does not send guest guide content to a third-party service. The plugin may display links entered by the site administrator, such as map, WhatsApp or review links. Those external services are opened only when a visitor chooses to follow a link. Guest Guide Manager does not automatically transmit guest guide content to those services. ### Third-Party Code The included QR encoder is based on Kazuhiko Arase’s QRCode for JavaScript and is distributed under the MIT License. The included code and license notice are located in `assets/js/qr/`. ### Guest Guide Manager Pro Want to give international guests a better experience and spend less time answering the same questions? **Guest Guide Manager Pro** adds the features that become especially useful when you welcome guests from different countries or manage a more advanced guest communication workflow. **With Pro you can:** * **Create multilingual guest guides** — provide your Guest App in multiple languages for international guests. * **Translate content automatically with DeepL** — speed up the creation and maintenance of translated guest information. * **Send time-based guest notices** — show important information to guests at the right time during their stay. * **Collect guest feedback directly in the Guest App** — make it easy for guests to share feedback while they are staying at your property. * **Analyze how guests use your Guest Apps** — understand which information your guests actually access and how your guides are being used. * **Offer additional services directly** — present additional services and opportunities to guests from within the Guest App. The Free version already gives you the professional digital guest guide and Guest App. Pro adds the tools for **more languages, more automation, more guest feedback and more insight**.
