Two layouts, one switch

Pick the layout that suits your guests

Every guide can be shown as a scrolling list or as a tappable grid. Same content, same branding, two very different feels. Try both below, they are live guides.

List view

One thing at a time, in order

Live guide
  • Sections stack top to bottom, so guests read in the order you set
  • Best for step-by-step arrivals, door codes and house rules
  • Longer descriptions stay readable without tapping in and out
Open list view full screen

Grid view

Everything visible in one tap

Live guide
  • Big tappable cards, so guests jump straight to what they need
  • Best for guides with lots of sections and local recommendations
  • Feels like an app home screen on a phone

Is this for you?

Who CheckinGuide is for

Built for hosts who care about the guest experience and value their own time. Whether you run one place or hundreds.

  • Airbnb and short-let hosts, from 1 property to 500+
  • Self-managing hosts tired of answering the same questions
  • Professional operators who want a polished guest experience
  • Co-hosts managing properties on behalf of owners
  • Management companies running large, growing portfolios
  • Hotels, B&Bs, glamping sites and serviced apartments

Running a bigger portfolio? Pricing gets cheaper per property as you grow, and there are never any per-guest or per-booking fees.

FAQ

Got questions? We've got answers.

The honest answers hosts ask before getting started

Built with security in mind

Your guest guides are private by default

We built CheckinGuide so that your property information stays between you and your guests. No search engines, no public listings, no snooping - just a simple, private link you control.

Hidden from search engines

Your guest guides are not indexed by Google or any search engine. Nobody can stumble across them online - they simply don't appear in search results.

Only accessible via your shared link

Only guests you share the link with can view your guide. There's no public directory, no listing, and no way for anyone to browse and find it.

Change your link anytime

Had a bad guest? Simply update your username or guide link and the old one stops working instantly. You're always in control of who has access.

Username browsing blocked

Even if someone guesses your username, they'll only see a generic "contact your host" page. Your properties and guides stay completely hidden.

Trusted & Secure

Your guest data is safe with us

We take security seriously. Your property data is encrypted, never sold, and you're always in control.

GDPR Compliant

Full UK & EU data protection. We comply with all GDPR requirements to keep your guest information secure.

256-bit Encryption

Bank-level security for all data in transit and at rest. Your property and guest data is always protected.

No Data Selling

Your data stays yours - always. We never sell, share, or monetise your guest or property information.
