Welcoming a guest well goes far beyond handing over the key. Anyone in the holiday rental business knows: the same questions repeat with every booking — Wi-Fi, house rules, appliance use, rubbish, parking, check-out.
Now imagine all that information organised in a single digital guide, accessible from any phone, with clear text, photos, videos, and QR codes placed exactly where the guest needs them — retiring the printed manual for good. That's what Guialo offers.
The problem hosts face today
If you're a host, you've probably lived through some of these scenarios:
- Repeated messages asking for the Wi-Fi password
- Guests confused about how to use the washing machine or the cooktop
- Important rules forgotten or ignored
- Mediocre reviews due to "lack of information"
- Time spent answering the same questions over and over
All of that creates rework, stress, and directly impacts your reviews — especially when you can't reply right away. Most of those messages are predictable: see the 5 questions you should stop answering on WhatsApp.
The solution: a digital guide + strategic QR codes
With a digital guide, you centralise everything in one place and share access the moment the booking is confirmed. And the big differentiator is the QR codes, which take the guest straight to the right information, in the right place.
Practical examples inside the property
🚪 Behind the front door — QR code to connect to the Wi-Fi and open the property's complete guide.
🧺 Next to the washing machine — QR code that goes straight to: how to use the machine, what can and can't be washed, with photos and videos.
🍳 Near the cooktop or oven — QR code with usage instructions, safety notes, and a step-by-step video.
The guest scans, understands, and solves it on their own. This kind of per-appliance guidance deserves care: see how to guide equipment use the right way.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know how to code to generate the QR codes?
No. The Guialo dashboard itself generates the QR codes for each page of the guide. You just print them and place them at strategic spots in the property.
Can I have a different QR code for each room?
Yes. You can generate page-specific QR codes — one for the Wi-Fi behind the door, another for the washing machine, another for the cooktop, and so on.
If I change some information, do I need to replace the QR code?
No. The QR code points to the guide's page; you update the content in the dashboard and the same QR code starts showing the new information — no reprinting.
Does the guest need an app to read the QR code?
No. Most smartphone cameras read QR codes natively and open the guide right in the browser.
