Action: Hostfully - Create Your Guidebook (Address, Cover Photo, Name & Theme)
Module 9: The Digital House Guide
Your digital guidebook is often the first thing guests open after booking, so its basics matter. An accurate address and map pin stops guests getting lost on arrival, a designed cover photo with your house name signals a cared-for holiday home, and using the same name, logo and colours as your other guest communications makes the whole stay feel consistent and professional.

Questions people ask
Why does the map pin in my guidebook matter?
Guests often tap the guidebook map to navigate. A pin in the wrong place can leave them lost and stressed, especially when arriving at night.
Can I brand a Hostfully guidebook?
Yes. Hostfully lets you set a cover image, guidebook name and theme so the guide matches your property's branding.
