Creating Guidebooks with RentalWise

Guidebooks are a fantastic way to enhance your guests' stay by sharing helpful information about your property, the local area, and fun things to do nearby. With RentalWise, creating and sharing guidebooks is simple and flexible, so you can provide the best experience possible for your guests.

What is a Guidebook?

A guidebook is a handy resource that includes:

• Check-in instructions

• Entry details (like Wi-Fi passwords or access codes)

• Recommendations for local attractions, dining spots, and shopping

• Tips to help your guests have a great time

By offering these details, you can make your guests feel right at home from the moment they arrive.

RentalWise gives you three easy options to create and share guidebooks, so you can choose what works best for you:

Option 1: Property-Focused Instructions in the PMS

• Add property-specific instructions to the Check-in Instructions section in the PMS.

• Use Merge Fields in your Message Templates to include these details in your guest communications automatically.

• What to include:

  • Entry instructions

  • Wi-Fi passwords

  • Special requests or other helpful tips

• This option ensures your guests always have the right information at the right time.
  
  
  

Option 2: Create a Guidebook Page on Your RentalWise Website
