Guest guide setup checklist
Prepare one short-let property for a 360 visual guest guide.

Done-for-you setup
How customer-ready guest guides should be built.
For customer launch, the workflow should be clear enough for self-serve setup while still supporting concierge onboarding for higher-value operators.
1Choose one property with real guest traffic.
2Capture or collect 2-6 room panoramas.
3Gather arrival, house rules, Wi-Fi, TV/device, and safety notes.
4Upload assets into SceneHost and create the guide.
5Review the password/private/expiry settings before including access codes.
6Share the guide with one real guest or direct-booking channel and report what happened.
Security reminder
Do not put door codes into a public non-expiring guide.
SceneHost supports private, password, unlisted, and expiring guide links. Use those settings before adding access codes, lockbox locations, or backup entry instructions.
Access details require protected sharing Rules and device notes can be public or guest-only Room panoramas should avoid exposing private owner details
Checklist FAQ
Common questions before publishing a 360 Guest Guide.
What should a short-let 360 Guest Guide include first?
Start with arrival instructions, parking or gate access, Wi-Fi, house rules, device notes, safety details, and one clear direct-booking or contact action. Room panoramas make the instructions easier to trust because guests can see where each item belongs.
Do I need special scanning equipment to publish a SceneHost guide?
No. The production-ready SceneHost workflow is built around 360 room panoramas and structured guide modules. A host can start with room panoramas, arrival instructions, Wi-Fi, house rules, device notes, and a direct-booking CTA.
Should access codes be public?
No. Access codes, lockbox locations, and backup entry instructions should use private, password, unlisted, or expiring guide links so the host controls who sees sensitive arrival information.
How do I know if a guide is useful?
Track guide views, room opens, guide-module clicks, direct-booking clicks, repeat visits, and unanswered readiness gaps. A useful guide reduces repeated guest questions and increases confidence before booking or arrival.
