Why You Need Them

Guide Your Guests From Trip Planning to Check Out

Welcome your guests with a digital guestbook filled with everything they need — directions, parking information, instructional videos for entering the house, tips on what to pack, a customized local area guide and more. Send guestbooks a week or two before arrival to help with trip planning. After check in, the guestbook becomes a pocket concierge for finding the nearest beach or pharmacy, checking opening hours or addresses, and more.

Save Time And Reduce Repetitive Calls By Over 70%

Provide the information your guests require, and they won’t need to call for the WiFi code or coffeemaker instructions. Make your guests happy, and use the time you'll save for what matters most for your business -- and for you.

Go Paperless And Give Guests a Vacation They’ll Love

No one wants a dog-eared paper guestbook. Go digital and wow your guests with a guestbook that directs them to the nearest beach or cafe, is customized for each property and underscores the professionalism of your vacation rental business.

How They Work

Start With Our Master Guide

The Master Guide is the template that supplies information for all of your vacation rental properties and includes basic categories like Arrivals, Departures and Safety Information. Keep the categories you want, drop those you don’t need, and add any we missed. Make a change on the Master Guide and every guestbook updates automatically.

Customize For Each Home

RueBaRue integrates with popular vacation rental software to create customized guestbooks for each home in seconds. We also import property details like WiFi codes, photos, door codes, directions and parking information. Individualize guestbooks for each home with helpful details like a recent photo of the front door or a brief video of how to use the coffeemaker or washing machine.

Set Up The Area Guide

Create a local area guide that features top restaurants, attractions, experiences and essential services and that uploads in minutes. Customize our recommendations, keeping what you like, dropping what you don’t, and adding anything we missed..We integrate with Google Places, so local information updates automatically when hours change or a business closes.

Smart Features That Make A Big Difference

Rental Software Integration

RueBaRue integrates with popular vacation rental software. This lets us create customized guestbooks for each home in seconds. We also import property details like WiFi codes, photos, door codes, directions and parking information.

Display Your Branding

Brand the guestbook with your vacation rental logo and colors to showcase your professionalism and remind guests of the services you provide.

Share Guestbooks Automatically

SMS Automation makes it easy to deliver the guestbook by email or text on the date you choose. Email the guestbook two weeks before arrival so guests can plan their trip, and text it the day before arrival so guests have it on their phones.

Customize The Content

Use the Master Guide to add, remove and arrange the guestbook’s categories and sections with ease. Include text, video and PDFs with any item.

Calculate Distances Automatically

Distances from the vacation rental home to everything in the area guide are calculated and mapped automatically so guests can decide whether to walk, bike or drive.

Be Mobile and Desktop Friendly

Guestbooks work equally well on mobile devices and desktop computers. No installation or app is required to use the guestbook.

Use Tags

Tagging helps you send automated messages with location-specific area guide links to guests.

qr-codes

Get QR Codes

QR codes for digital guestbooks make it easy for friends or relatives of the primary guest to access information found in these helpful, customized guides. Display the codes where guests will see them — on a refrigerator door, coffee table or nightstand.

Print Your Guestbooks

For guests who prefer paper copies or properties with weak internet signals, our print feature lets you print paper guestbooks with all the information found in the electronic guide.

Get Unique Guestbook Links

Each guestbook has an individual link. This means that when you expire the link after a guest departs the information can no longer be shared.

Consult Analytics

See when, how many times and for how long the guestbooks were viewed by your guests.
