Short-Term Rental Hosts (Airbnb & Booking.com)
One QR code. All guest information. Zero friction.
Short-term rental guests always ask the same things - Wi-Fi, heating, trash, late checkout, missing items. Hosts usually answer with paper sheets, PDFs hidden in booking portals or endless chat replies.
A QR Board inside the apartment replaces all of that. It becomes a living guide and feedback channel guests can open instantly.
The Setup
Place one QR code somewhere guests can’t miss: fridge door, entrance, welcome folder or kitchen counter.
Guests scan the QR code with their phone camera - no app, no login, no friction - and land on a board tailored to that apartment.
Smart placement spots
- On the fridge
- Near the entrance
- Inside a welcome folder
- On a kitchen wall or counter
What Guests Can Read (Private Board)
The board becomes a dynamic guest guide that’s always up to date. Markdown formatting keeps it clean and readable.
Typical sections
- 📶 Wi-Fi name & password
- 🏠 House rules and checkout steps
- ❄️ Heating / AC instructions
- 🧺 Laundry, trash & recycling info
- 🔑 Lock, key or keypad instructions
- 🗺️ Local tips (cafés, transport, grocery stores)
- 📦 Inventory checklist (what’s included, what’s not)
Anonymous Questions & Feedback (Public Board)
Guests can leave anonymous messages such as “The kettle doesn’t work” or “Loved the place.” They don’t need to text you or open the booking app.
Hosts receive honest, real-time insight without awkward conversations or app installs.
Why This Beats PDFs or Chat
Printed sheets get lost or outdated. PDFs buried in booking messages are impossible to find or update once guests arrive.
Chat threads create noise and require constant host availability. A QR board is always visible, always current, and works for every guest.
QR board advantages
- Always accessible without logins
- Updates instantly - no reprints
- Collects proactive feedback
- Scales across every stay

Who This Is Ideal For
Any short-term rental with frequent turnover benefits - Airbnb, Booking.com, serviced apartments, vacation rentals.
Especially powerful when stays are short, instructions matter, and feedback usually arrives too late.
Final Thought
Guests don’t want more apps. Hosts don’t want more messages.
A QR Board turns one small code into a guide, a feedback channel, and a shared knowledge base for every stay.
