How it works

From questionnaire to a book in your home

You know your home. We make sure your guests get to know it quickly too. You don't have to write or design anything yourself.

  1. Tell us about your home

    Fill in our questionnaire about your home and your favourite places. The more local tips you share, the more personal the guide. Short on time? We still create a complete guide.

  2. We research and write

    We add everything the area has to offer: activities, restaurants, cafés, shops and day trips. Your own tips as a local are what make the guide truly unique.

  3. You approve

    You receive a draft. We make changes until everything is right.

  4. Guests read

    We print the book and send it to you. Place it in your home, ready for every guest. Want a digital version too? You get your own link and QR code.

What's inside

Everything guests would otherwise ask you

Every guide is tailored to your home. These are the sections almost every guide includes.

Your home

Wi-Fi, heating, recycling and check-out: the practical things in one place.

Eat & drink

Your favourite bakery, breakfast spots, restaurants and cafés.

Appliances

Coffee machine, dishwasher, heating, sauna and TV, simply explained.

House rules

Quiet hours, smoking, pets and recycling, explained in a friendly way.

Out and about

Walks, viewpoints, bike routes and day trips from your door.

Emergencies

Emergency numbers, the nearest doctor and pharmacy, and how to reach you.

Print & digital

On the table, and on their phone if you like

Every guide is a printed book that waits for your guests in the house. Add the digital version and they can read it on their phone too, even before they arrive.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can't find your question? Just send us a message.

Where do guests find the guide?

The printed guide lies ready in your home, for example on the coffee table or by the front door. With the digital version, guests can also open it on their phone via a link or QR code, no app needed.

How long until my guide is ready?

Once we receive your completed questionnaire, we send a draft within 7 working days. The printed book arrives about a week after you approve it.

Can I have things changed later?

Yes. If something changes, like a new Wi-Fi password or a different restaurant, we update your guide and print a new edition when needed.

Which languages are available?

English, German, French and Dutch. Other languages on request. One language is included in the price; each extra language costs €50.

Does this work for multiple properties?

Absolutely. Each home gets its own guide and QR code, all in one recognisable style. Ask us about a package price.
