Why It Matters

The right thing first

Arrival day leads with the door code. A rainy afternoon leads with things to do indoors. Your home screen keeps up.

Design a Home Guests Use

Phones show only a few widgets at a time, so order matters:

  • Lead with todayโ€™s need. Arrival info first, recommendations later.

  • Keep collections short. Four to six articles each.

  • Use stages. Hide check-out steps until checkout day.

Questions About the Home Screen

Can each property have its own home screen?

Yes. Your account sets the default widgets and their order, and any property can use its own order, welcome text, cover media and branding.

What are home screen widgets?

The building blocks of your guidebookโ€™s home: the welcome hero, the reservation card, guest registration, article collections, weather, About your hosts and local favorites. You decide which ones to show and in what order.

How do I change the order?

Drag and drop on the Widgets page. That order becomes the default for every property, and you can set a different order for any property that needs one.

Do journey stages work on general share links?

No. Stages follow a specific reservation, so they only apply to reservation links. On general share and public links, the link type decides what guests see, as it does today.

What happens to my pinned articles?

They become an article collection. When the new home screen rolls out, your pinned articles move into a collection in list style, so your home looks familiar and you can rearrange it from there.

Whatโ€™s in the About your hosts widget?

Your photo and a link to your host article, plus Email and WhatsApp buttons. The buttons follow your OTA Compliance settings, and you can switch them off for any guidebook.

Can I hide articles at certain stages too?

Yes. Articles can follow the same stages as widgets. An article hidden at a stage isnโ€™t loaded for the guest at all, so the guidebook stays focused and fast.

What do guests see after they check out?

Their reservation link keeps working. Restricted content like the door code is hidden, and the widgets you chose for the after-stay stage appear instead, such as a thank-you message and your local favorites.

Is the home screen designed for phones?

Yes. Almost every guest opens their guidebook on a phone, so widgets are compact, easy to tap and ordered so the most useful one is always near the top.

Can I use a video background?

Yes. Paste a YouTube or Vimeo link, or any embeddable video. It plays automatically on computers; on phones it only autoplays if you turn that on, which saves guests' mobile data.

Which widgets always stay at the top?

The welcome hero and the reservation card. Theyโ€™re the first thing guests need, so they stay fixed in that order. Guest registration works as a gate before the guidebook opens, so it isnโ€™t part of the order either.

What are journey stages?

The five moments of a stay: before arrival, arrival day, during the stay, checkout and after the stay. On reservation links, each widget shows only at the stages you choose, so the home screen fits where the guest is.

What is an article collection?

A widget that groups articles on the home screen, like โ€œBefore you arriveโ€ or โ€œBest beachesโ€. Pick the articles yourself or fill it from a category, show them as cards or a list, with or without images. Each guidebook can have up to five.

What does the Weather widget show?

The weather now and for the next few hours, labelled the way guests think about it: this afternoon, tonight, tomorrow. A link opens the full local forecast. Itโ€™s included on every plan, including Free.

Does the door code show on the home screen?

It follows the same rules as restricted articles. On a reservation link, the reservation card shows the door code only during the guestโ€™s access window, and it never appears on public links.

Can each widget look different?

Yes. Each widget has its own display settings. An article collection can show photo cards or a compact list, with images on or off, so a restaurant collection can look different from your check-out steps.

Can guests still search the guidebook?

Yes. Search lives in the top bar as an icon, so itโ€™s always one tap away without taking up space on the home screen.

Can each property have its own home screen?

Yes. Your account sets the default widgets and their order, and any property can use its own order, welcome text, cover media and branding.

Can I use a video background?

Yes. Paste a YouTube or Vimeo link, or any embeddable video. It plays automatically on computers; on phones it only autoplays if you turn that on, which saves guests' mobile data.
