Features

Built for short-term-rental hosts.

A guest view that feels like an app

Guests open a link or scan a code and get a clean mobile page with copy-WiFi, one-tap directions, and your contact details up top.

A guidebook open on a phone: the property photo, the quick actions and the section tiles

Sections built for rentals

Check-in, WiFi, house rules, parking, quirks of the home, check-out, and FAQ come ready to fill. Add custom sections for anything else.

Photos where they help

Show the lockbox, the thermostat, the parking spot. Every section takes photos.

Map and directions

Your property on a map with a directions button that opens the guest's maps app.

Publish in minutes

Autosave as you type, publish when you are ready, share one link.

AI drafts your first version

Answer a few questions about the property, and the assistant writes a complete guidebook draft. Edit any section afterward.

Video and map embeds

Paste a YouTube link or a Google Maps link into any section, and it renders inline. Guests watch the video or explore the map right there in the guidebook.

Local favorites you actually chose

Search the restaurants, cafes, shops and sights around your property, pick the ones you send guests to, and add a line about why. Guests get cards with photos, ratings, walking distance and directions, plus a map with every pin.

Five looks, or your own brand

Pick a complete look for the guest view — paper and sea glass, warm sand, near-black, deep green, or pure white. On a paid plan, add your accent colour, your logo and your font, and drop the TouchGuides badge.

Your own address

Every guidebook answers on its own touchguides.com address. On a paid plan, point a domain you own at it: we attach it, show the record to create, and switch it on as soon as DNS lands.

A QR sheet for the door

Print an A4 or Letter sign in your brand colour with the code, the short address and the WiFi details. Tape it to the fridge and the questions stop.

Read in their own language

Pick up to twelve languages and every section is translated when you publish. Guests switch with one tap, and the WiFi password, the door code and the check-in time stay exactly as you typed them.

Ask the guidebook

A chat panel that answers from your guidebook and declines everything else. Guests get the door code at midnight without waking you, and nothing outside what you wrote comes out of it.

The chat panel in a guidebook: a guest asks for the WiFi password and gets it, then asks about a beach in Bali and is told the guidebook only answers about the stay

A rating prompt that works for you

On a guest's second visit, one tap asks how the stay is going. Four or five stars go straight to your review page; anything lower opens a private note that only you read.

See what guests actually read

Opens, visitors, the sections they read, the WiFi copies, the taps on your recommendations and the languages they read in — thirty days of it, and nothing that identifies a guest.
