Guideo is the digital welcome guide designed specifically for property owners renting on Airbnb, Booking or as a holiday cottage. A smart blend of digital concierge service and personalised tourist guide, Guideo is a tool that is accessible, affordable and immediately operational — a real time-saver for you, an indispensable travel companion for your guests. 👍
Today, 91% of internet users connect via a smartphone, representing over 5.19 billion mobile users worldwide. 😲 Offering a digital welcome guide means responding exactly to these new habits. And in a sector as competitive as short-term rentals, failing to go digital means leaving the field open to your competitors. 🔥
Here is an overview of everything Guideo can do for you and your guests ⤵
1. What is the Guideo digital welcome guide?
Guideo is a mobile web app that enriches the digital ecosystem of short-term rental owners. Accessible directly from your guest's browser — no download, no registration — it permanently replaces your paper welcome guide with a modern, interactive and always up-to-date experience.
What exactly is a web app? ❓
Unlike a conventional application available on the App Store or Google Play, Guideo requires no download. Your guests access their personalised welcome guide with a simple QR code scan or via a direct link.
- Always accessible from any device (smartphone, tablet, smart TV)
- The access QR code remains unchanged for the duration of your subscription
- No internet connection required to view the content
- Fully customisable to match your property's identity and brand
- No email address required: privacy and security guaranteed for your guests 👍
Available everywhere, at all times, Guideo can even be displayed on a stand-mounted tablet at the entrance of your property or in the relaxation area — an elegant way to keep your guests occupied or encourage them to plan their activities together. 💡
First impressions always matter, and a well-designed digital welcome guide instantly creates the Wow effect! in your guests, immediately setting you apart from the competition. 🤩
2. What are Guideo's features?
An organisational tool that saves you precious time ⏳
Like a digital memo always at hand, Guideo centralises all the logistical information about your property:
- Wi-Fi code, door or gate access code
- House rules and pet policy
- Services and amenities: pool, washing machine, bed linen, parking…
- Instructions for household appliances
- Specific schedules and rules (gate closing times, bin collection, etc.)
No more repetitive messages like: "Did I give them the Wi-Fi code? Will they find the extra linen? Did they note that the car park closes at 10:30pm?"… With Guideo, all this information is accessible in an instant, directly from your guest's smartphone.
Guideo also includes a digitalised property inspection module that considerably simplifies check-in and check-out management: instant photo capture, email validation, electronic signature. A serious safeguard for the condition of your property, on arrival and departure. 🖱
A pocket tourist guide, always in your pocket 📌
Beyond logistics, Guideo is a true personalised local tourist guide. In a few clicks, your guests access your exclusive recommendations: best restaurants, exceptional artisans, hiking routes, local markets, unusual activities…
You are the best ambassador for your destination. Guideo gives you the tools to prove it with every stay. 🎁 It is also a way to promote the local economy and create a bond between your guests and the people of your area.
3. Guideo to support the local economy
Guideo naturally positions itself as the ideal local networking tool for holiday rental owners. It allows you to share your favourite addresses and hidden gems: small producers, restaurateurs, winemakers, craftspeople, artists…
This logic of mutual recommendation creates connections and generates encounters, contributing to a circular and supportive economy in a win-win spirit. 🔀
For a guest passionate about gastronomy:
- 🍷 Morning: visit a local vineyard with a tasting workshop
- 🍽️ Lunch: a 100% local cuisine restaurant
- 🚶 Afternoon: a post-lunch stroll on a discovery trail
For a guest who loves interior design:
- 🛍️ Morning: flea market or antique shops
- 🍴 Lunch: a restaurant-boutique where the décor is also for sale
- 🎨 Afternoon: pottery workshop at a local ceramicist
A true virtuous circle: the guest enjoys memorable experiences, your local partner generates revenue, and you strengthen the guest relationship and inspire them to extend or repeat their stay. 💓
4. Guideo to better know your guests and attract new ones
Guideo is a 360° customer relationship tool that supports you at every stage of the stay: before, during and after.
Before the stay: reassure and inspire 🎯
Share the Guideo link for your property as soon as the booking is confirmed, or include it in your email signature. Your future guests immediately access all the information about your accommodation, your local recommendations and your tourist highlights. A powerful reassurance factor that encourages the booking decision and reduces repetitive questions. 📲
During the stay: enrich the experience and free up your time 😉
Via a QR code displayed in the property (slipped into a nice frame, it blends perfectly with the décor), your guests organise their activities independently. On your end, you are free to focus on your other tasks — or simply to relax. 😉
After the stay: build your network of ambassadors 🏆
Once they are back home, your guests remember the experiences they had thanks to your recommendations. They can leave reviews, share photos, and become your best ambassadors. A powerful lever for your online reputation and for attracting new types of guests.

5. Guideo in the service of your guest relationship strategy
A welcome guide that reflects your identity and brand image 🔔
Like your property, your Guideo welcome guide should be unique. It is therefore fully customisable: logo, visual guidelines, typography, colours… The visual identity of your digital guide reinforces your positioning and sets you apart in an increasingly professional market.
A polished and well-populated digital tool is the guarantee of a premium image that directly impacts your occupancy rate and revenue. 📈
Data to better understand your guests and refine your communication 💬
Guideo gives you access to detailed consultation statistics: which pages are most visited? Which amenities and activities attract the most interest? This valuable marketing data allows you to:
- Highlight your most appreciated services
- Identify new local partnership opportunities
- Feed your content strategy on your website and social media
- Create new offerings tailored to your guests' actual expectations
For example: if you notice that many guests are consulting a page dedicated to outdoor activities, why not negotiate a discount with a local provider? You create a profitable partnership, and your guest leaves with an exclusive offer thanks to you. 🎁
Today's travellers are no longer just looking for accommodation: they want to live like locals, feel at home, and be guided by passionate and knowledgeable hosts. That is exactly what Guideo enables. And that is precisely what platforms like Airbnb understood first.
In conclusion: enriching your guests' experience is the guarantee of increasing your revenue. 💓
