Your properties are extraordinary. Your guest experience should match.
Tropes Guide is the digital guest guide built for luxury vacation rental agencies — not adapted from a tool designed for Airbnb hosts.
Tropes Guide is the digital guest guide built for luxury vacation rental agencies — not adapted from a tool designed for Airbnb hosts.
Every digital guest guide on the market was built for the same customer: an individual host managing one or two short-term rentals, looking to stop answering WiFi questions.
The features tell the story. Weather widgets. Party prevention. WiFi captive portals. Airbnb URL import. These are tools built for a €120/night apartment — not for an agency managing a portfolio of villas where a single booking can exceed €50,000.
You’ve probably tried one of them. And you’ve probably noticed that the guide your guest receives looks exactly like the one sent by every other property on the platform. Same template. Same layout. Same generic experience, whether the property is a studio flat or a hilltop estate.
Your properties deserve better. Your guests expect better. And your brand — the one you’ve spent years building — shouldn’t be represented by a tool that treats every property the same.
Tropes Guide closes that gap.
Tropes Guide is a digital guest guide designed specifically for professional vacation rental agencies managing luxury properties.
When a guest receives your Tropes Guide link, they get a beautifully structured, mobile-first welcome guide with everything they need for their stay: arrival instructions, villa details, curated local recommendations, house rules, and emergency contacts — all presented with photography and the care that a high-end property demands.
No app to download. No login required. One link, accessible from any device, in the guest’s preferred language.
It’s what a guest welcome guide looks like when it’s built by people who understand that the guest experience doesn’t start at check-in — it starts the moment they receive your first message.
Your guide is organised into clear, navigable chapters — Welcome & Arrival, Your Villa, Local Area, Activities & Experiences, House Rules, Emergency Contacts. Guests find what they need in seconds, not minutes.
Every chapter supports full-width images. Your villa photography isn’t squeezed into thumbnails — it’s given the space it deserves. The guide feels like a curated experience, not a manual.
Your restaurant picks, beach clubs, markets, and hidden gems appear on an interactive map. Guests can browse by category and see exactly where each recommendation sits relative to the villa.
Guests can search the entire guide instantly. No scrolling through chapters to find the pool heating instructions or the nearest pharmacy.
Your guests come from everywhere. Guides are available in multiple languages, selectable by the guest on arrival. No duplicate content to manage.
Your logo. Your identity. The guide represents your agency — “Powered by Tropes Guide” stays discreet. The guest’s experience is with your brand, not ours.
There’s a meaningful difference between a product designed for professional agencies and a product that added “multi-property support” as an afterthought.
They built for hosts. We built for you.
TouchStay, Hostfully, GoGuidebook — they all started as tools for individual hosts. Team management, agency branding, portfolio handling — these came later, bolted onto a foundation that was never designed for them. Tropes Guide was built from day one for agencies managing multiple luxury properties across destinations.
Content structure that matches your properties.
A €20,000/week villa has different content needs than a city apartment. Welcome protocols, staff contacts, concierge services, estate access, pool and garden schedules, private chef arrangements — Tropes Guide’s chapter structure was designed for this complexity, not retrofitted for it.
Design quality you don’t have to apologise for.
Most guest guide tools produce output that looks like a settings page. Tropes Guide produces something you’d be comfortable sending to a guest who just paid five figures for a week in your villa. Full-width photography, clean typography, considered spacing. The guide is a brand touchpoint — it should feel like one.
Part of a professional ecosystem.
Tropes Guide connects to Tropes Book, a full property management system built for the same market. Bookings, availability, owner management, financial reporting — all in one stack. No five-tool Frankenstein setup.
Add your property details, upload photography, write your welcome chapters, and pin your local recommendations on the map. The editor is structured around the content your guests actually need.
Add your agency logo and set your visual identity. Every guide your agency creates carries your brand, not a generic template.
Send the guide link in your pre-arrival communication — email, WhatsApp, SMS. Place a QR code in-property for easy access on arrival. Guests open it on their phone and they’re set.
Changed your restaurant recommendation? Updated the WiFi password? Edit once, and the guest sees the update immediately. No re-sending, no reprinting.
No app to install. No onboarding course required. No IT department needed.
Tropes Guide is one part of the Tropes platform — a product family built for vacation rental professionals who take their business seriously.
Digital guest guides that match the quality of your properties. Structured chapters, curated maps, multi-language, agency-branded.
The operational backbone: bookings, availability, owner management, financial reporting, payment processing, and channel distribution. The PMS luxury agencies have been waiting for.
Use Tropes Guide standalone. Or pair it with Tropes Book for a single platform that handles everything from the first enquiry to the last night of the stay.
Tropes Guide today gives your guests the best welcome guide in the luxury rental market. But we believe the same content that serves your guest after booking should also help you win the booking in the first place.
That’s the direction we’re heading.
We’re building tools that let agencies use their property content not just for guest communication, but for property presentation — giving prospects an immersive, visual way to explore your portfolio before they ever submit an enquiry.
Same content you’ve already entered. A new way to use it.
