About HelloGuestbook

HelloGuestbook exists to help Airbnb and short-term rental hosts reduce repetitive guest questions and deliver a smoother stay through one simple digital guestbook.

Why it started

It started when I kept noticing the same problem as a guest: the welcome information was there, but hard to find when it mattered. I'm Sølve, a Norwegian developer and the founder of HelloGuestbook.

Most guests do not think much about the welcome experience until it is bad. No WiFi instructions, a binder from three years ago, recommended restaurants that no longer exist, a check-out time buried in a booking confirmation nobody scrolled to.

I saw the same thing from the other side when reaching out to hosts: the same questions from every guest, every stay, before arrival, during, and sometimes after. The information existed. There just was not a good place to put it where guests would actually find it.

That became the first vision of HelloGuestbook.

How HelloGuestbook grew

HelloGuestbook started as a simple idea: one link, everything a guest needs, on any phone without an app or login. No printing, no updating PDFs, no hoping guests scroll far enough to find the check-out time.

It has grown since then, with maps, translations into 30+ languages and support for hosts with many properties. The core is the same: make the guest experience smoother, and make the host's phone a little quieter.

Contact and accountability

If something is unclear or wrong, tell us and we'll fix it. Every support message is read by a person, and that feedback shapes what we build next.

HelloGuestbook is independent and built around the hosts who use it. If something is missing, we'd love to hear about it.
