SceneHost guides

Learn how to build short-let guest guides guests actually use.

Follow structured paths for Airbnb digital guidebooks, vacation rental house manuals, 360 room tours, QR codes, direct booking, and first-party guide analytics.

Start with the outcome

SceneHost guides answer the questions guests ask before they message you.

A strong 360 Guest Guide should show the room, explain the arrival flow, protect sensitive access details, and route confident guests toward direct booking. Use this library to plan what belongs in the guide, how to publish it safely, and how to read the analytics after guests start using it.

Use room panoramas when guests need spatial confidence.Use protected links for lockbox, gate, Wi-Fi, or private arrival details.Use analytics to find which rooms, guide modules, and sources create booking confidence.

Operator playbook

Build the guide around real guest friction.

Most short-let teams already know where guests get stuck: the gate, parking, lockbox, Wi-Fi, thermostat, TV remote, trash rules, checkout tasks, and local amenities. SceneHost guides turn those repeated answers into room-aware content guests can open on mobile. A host should not have to explain the same instruction in every message thread when a protected 360 guide can show the place and answer the question in context.

Capture the rooms where guests need orientation, not every decorative angle.Write instructions in plain host language, then attach them to the room or amenity where they matter.Review analytics weekly to find repeated questions, low-confidence rooms, and direct-booking opportunities.
