The Airbnb Digital Guidebook Your Guests Will Actually Use

Why PDFs Don't Work for Airbnb Hosts

Most Airbnb hosts create a PDF with property information, house rules, and local recommendations. It takes hours to put together. And then guests either skip it entirely or skim through it and still message you with questions.

The problem isn't the content. It's the format. A 15-page PDF sent before check-in gets buried in email threads. A printed binder sits on a shelf. Neither one answers questions at 11pm when your guest can't figure out how the TV works.

What a Digital Guidebook Actually Does

A digital guidebook is an interactive, mobile-first guide that lives at a URL. Your guests open it on their phone. They can search for what they need, browse local recommendations, and ask questions through an AI chat assistant.

• WiFi password displayed clearly with a one-tap copy button
• House rules organized by section, not buried in a wall of text
• Check-in and check-out instructions with step-by-step detail
• Appliance guides for the things guests actually struggle with
• Local restaurants, beaches, and activities with real information
• An AI assistant that answers questions instantly, day or night

How Stay by Destinito Works

Stay is a digital guest guide built for vacation rental hosts. You set up your property once — house rules, WiFi, check-in instructions, local recommendations — and your guests get a private, mobile-friendly guide with a built-in AI assistant.

The AI doesn't guess. It uses your property information and structured destination data to give accurate answers. If a guest asks "where should we eat tonight?", the AI recommends actual restaurants from the local area with real details.

Digital Guidebook vs. PDF: The Difference

A PDF is static. Once you send it, it's frozen in time. A digital guidebook updates when you update it. Add a new restaurant recommendation, change the WiFi password, update check-in instructions — your guests always see the latest version.

A PDF can't answer questions. A digital guidebook with AI chat can. That's the difference between a document and a tool.

Works for Every Type of Rental

Whether you manage one Airbnb apartment, a portfolio of vacation villas, or a boutique hotel, the digital guidebook adapts to your property type. Each property gets its own guide with its own information, recommendations, and guest links.
