What is an VRBO digital guidebook?
Digital guidebooks are transforming the boring binder that has been a staple in hotels and vacation rentals for the last fifty years. Digital guidebooks can be easily updated 24×7, are accessible by guests before their arrival, offer privacy controls, tracking, digital maps and so much more.
Below, we’ll break down the core features of a digital guidebook and why you need one for your VRBO vacation rental. Worried about guests that won’t be tech-savvy? Don’t be, we offer a one-click option to generate a complimenting PDF. More on that below.
Your VRBO Digital Guidebook Neatly Organized
Going digital with your guidebook has great advantages for VRBO hosts. A few include being able to update your guidebook from anywhere, easily removing outdated topics/recommendations, sending to guests before their arrival, and so much more.
Works Lightning Fast On Phones, Computers, Tablets
Your digital guidebook will feel like your own custom app. Except there is nothing for your VRBO guests to download! All they need is a mobile phone, computer or tablet and your custom guidebook link.
Guest Recommendations Using Interactive Maps
Sharing recommendations with your guests is an essential part of being a great VRBO host. Take it to a new level with interactive maps showcasing your favorite restaurants, local attractions, etc.. Even add your own notes like your favorite dish.
Always Updated Local Weather
Guests need to know about the local weather. It's essential for planning their trip at your VRBO vacation rental. Our weather widget can be added to your digital guide and shows always updated local forecasts that require no updates from you!
Auto-Translated For Your VRBO Guests
Our digital guidebook has a feature to automatically translate itself into over a dozen different languages! Make your VRBO rental guests feel at home in their native tongue. Now that's a true VRBO Premier Host!
QR Codes & Auto-Generated PDF Guides
Your VRBO guests can access your digital guidebook using QR codes placed throughout the accommodations. You can also generate an instant PDF version or your digital guide for printing and place it in the vacation rental.
Sharing Your Guide Is Super Easy
We offer several methods for sharing your digital guidebook with guests. The simplest method is a secure link that can be sent in VRBO messages. We also offer a sophisticated invite system that allows you to schedule text messages or emails based on the guest's arrival date. Unique guide access links will be sent giving them access only during your set dates. Finally, we offer QR codes that can be printed and displayed throughout the interior of the accommodation for easy access after arrival.

A message from our founder.
A total game changer for our VRBO vacation rental business.
When my wife & I went live with our two vacation rentals on VRBO, we were inundated with the same questions again and again. We were tired of answering them and our VRBO guests likely didn't want to ask them to begin with. With my background in technology, I knew it could be done better.
Since implementing goGuidebook with our own VRBO rentals, the number of questions we receive has gone down by 80%. Guests are happier and we're happier. I knew I had to bring that technology to other vacation rental owners.
