airguide™ is a digital guidebook, designed specifically for hosts. The guidebook provides guests with the information they need about their accommodation and the local area - all in one easy to use web app. From arrival instructions, to how appliances work, the WiFi code, local hot spots and everything in between. Acting as your in-home virtual host, airguide™ is there, day and night, to answer any questions or queries your guests may have.
Is airguide™ an App or a website?
The airguide™ digital guidebook is a web application (web app) so it has the power and speed of a native mobile app, but is accessible via a web URL and there is no need for guests to download anything to their phone. Currently an internet connection (either mobile data or WiFi) is required to view the airguide™ digital guidebook.
Is airguide™ affiliated with Airbnb?
No airguide™ is not in any way affiliated with Airbnb or any other OTA or booking platform.
Happier guests. Our easy-to-use web app provides all the information your guests need, day or night, ensuring a stress free and relaxing stay. You have the option to send the guidebook to your guest before they arrive, allowing them to plan more efficiently. They can also easily take it out with them on their smartphone when exploring the area, making the most of the built in local area map.
More 5-star reviews. Whether you want to upload a video of how your washing machine works, or include a map link to your favourite pub, airguide™ lets you add those personal touches that ensure a 5-star experience every time.
Simple set-up. We pride ourselves on our super easy set-up process. You can start building your app in a few simple clicks, then add as much information as you like. Simply edit and update your guidebook whenever you like and all without any of the additional printing.
More hygienic. At a time when cleanliness has never been so important, replace that well used ringbinder manual with a digital guidebook and help keep your guests safe from germs.
Video, pdf and image upload options. Choose how you want to display information to your guests with a complete choice of upload options.
Local area map. Clearly display all your top local recommendations, from restaurants to attractions, on one easy to use map. You can add your local hot spots simply in just a couple of clicks, allowing you to add multiple places very quickly.
Smart and Professional. Personalise your app with your own brand colours and imagery and unlike that ringbinder manual, there will be zero wear and tear.
What does an airguide™ digital guidebook give me that my website doesn’t?
An airguide™ digital guidebook offers a number of benefits over and above those of a marketing website.
Guests can access all the information they need in one place, with a short, memorable URL e.g. https://air.guide/seaside-escape - local recommendations, info about household items, contact info, plus things like check-in instructions, door codes, wifi codes etc (things you probably wouldn’t want to share on your public marketing website). So it offers a high level of convenience for guests, meaning they don’t have to dig through physical manuals or ask questions about basic information, reducing their stress levels while they’re enjoying a relaxing stay.
You can highlight your property’s key features, and if you wish, you can populate a significant depth of information on how household items such as coffee machines, ovens etc work (the kind of thing you might include in a physical manual, which you might not want visible on your marketing website). You can add images, video walkthroughs and even pdf manuals to help guests as much as possible.
Local area recommendations are incredibly simple to add (just a couple of clicks) and appear on an interactive map, so guests can read about places, whilst getting an understanding of their location and easily opening directions in Google maps.
Furthermore, an airguide™ digital guidebook is mobile optimised, and built in the latest web technology, so it’s super quick and easy for guests to view on their mobile phone whilst they’re inside the property or out and about exploring the local area.
From a property management perspective, we’ve designed the airguide™ online dashboard so that it’s simple to add and edit information at any time - no need for a web developer or agency.
Ultimately an airguide™ digital guidebook allows you to provide your personal touch, even when you're not around and to give your guests a superior experience, one that helps ensure they leave a great review, book again, and/or tell their friends.
Once you have set-up your airguide™ digital guidebook you will have access to a unique web link, e.g. https://air.guide/seaside-escape which you can simply share with your guests (via email, SMS, WhatsApp or however you choose). Your guests can then easily view your guidebook on their smartphone, laptop or chosen device.

How does airguide™ protect my privacy and keep my information secure?
We take privacy and security extremely seriously. Our priority is to provide strong security and give you confidence that your information is safe and secure.
We encrypt all traffic to and from the airguide™ Digital Guidebook App and the airguide™ Online Dashboard over HTTPS (the padlock on your address bar), which uses the SSL/TLS protocol so that attackers can't steal data and you can be sure that data is being transferred to and from servers that are genuinely ours.
Your personal information is stored on secure servers hosted on AWS West Region, which has multiple layers of operational and physical security to ensure the integrity and safety of your data.
airguide™ uses an external service to process credit cards (Stripe) and so your payment details are never stored on our servers. Stripe is certified to PCI Service Provider Level 1, which is the most stringent level of certification available in the payments industry. This can only be accomplished with best-in-class security tools and practices to maintain a high level of security.
When you login to your account on the airguide™ Online Dashboard your username and password are sent to our servers over encrypted HTTPS, if you're credentials are successful then a unique, time-limited token is returned from our server, which enables you to connect to a hidden, encrypted API (Application Programming Interface) endpoint, which provides access to your account and personal information. This API endpoint is never exposed to the airguide™ Digital Guidebook App, so there is no possibility that guests could ever access your account or personal information via the airguide™ Digital Guidebook App.
When guests use the airguide™ Digital Guidebook App, the App automatically initialises a connection to a hidden, encrypted API (Application Programming Interface) endpoint, which provides access only to information that’s relevant to the specific property. This ensures that your personal or sensitive data is never exposed to your guests.
The airguide™ Online Dashboard gives you complete control of your data. You can edit and delete any of your data at any time, and you can activate or deactivate your guidebooks with a single click. You can also choose to restrict access to your guidebooks by setting a passcode. This means that only those guests who have the latest passcode will be able to view your airguide™ Digital Guidebook App.
