Your guests arrive knowing where to go.
Guidoso turns your local knowledge into one beautiful guide, sent by link or QR the moment a guest books. Fewer questions for you. A better stay for them.
Built for anywhere you host.
It's 11pm. Where should we eat?
You know the answer. You've given it forty times. The taco place that's actually open, the beach that's calm at sunset, the trick to the front door. Right now it lives in a text thread, a document you keep meaning to update, and your memory. Every guest gets a slightly different version, and you get the same questions every single stay.
Put it all in one place. Once.
Build the guide the way you'd brief a friend who's borrowing your place. Then it's done, and it works for every guest who books.
Build it once
Your property, your places, your local knowledge. Mention a spot by name and Guidoso recognizes it, so you write the good taco place once and reuse it everywhere.
Send a link or QR
Drop the link in your booking message, or tape the QR to the fridge. No app to download, works on any phone.
They arrive sorted
Good coffee, the quiet beach, how the AC works, the best taco stand. All where a guest would actually look. Before they ask.
You build it once, in an editor that looks like the finished guide.
Name the place, drop in the address, add your spots. The workspace stays as calm as the guide your guests open. No clutter, no learning curve.

StartNot a wall of text. A guide that looks like your place.
The same restraint and craft you'd put into the home itself, on the screen your guest is already holding.

- Always currentChange a recommendation once and every guest sees it.
- Ready before check-inSent with the booking, so the guide is there when they need it.
A document can't do this.
The welcome binder. The shared document. The page you keep meaning to update. They all started as the answer. None of them age well.
The welcome binder. Never quite current.
With Guidoso.
Inspired by Puerto Vallarta. Built for anywhere you host.
Whatever the destination, your guide fits right in.
It pays you back in quiet.
Fewer questions
The repeat texts stop, because the answer is already in their hand.
Better reviews
Guests who find the good stuff leave happier, and they say so.
Looks like you
Your name, your taste, your places. Not a template they've seen before.
Scales with you
One place or fifty, every guide built on the same system.
Hosts and property managers.
Whether you run one place in your own neighborhood or fifty across a city, every guide draws on the same library of properties and places. Write the spot once, use it everywhere.
We built Guidoso because we host, too.
We're a small team with more than twenty years between us across tech, hospitality, and real estate. We own and run short-term rentals of our own, at home and abroad, and we travel about as much as we host. So we know both sides of the door.
The same gap kept showing up. You land somewhere new, ready for the trip to start, and you have no real sense of where to go. As hosts, we answered the same questions every stay, or left people with a document nobody opens. The part that makes a place feel cared for was the part that kept going missing.
So we made the welcome we wished we'd had. One guide, genuinely useful, that says what we'd tell a friend who borrowed the keys. Where to eat. How the house actually works. The beach that's quiet at sunset.
Not exclusive, and not a form to fill out. Just a better way to arrive.
