Tips for accommodations
The local area in your digital guest directory
By M. Moes · Published on 22 October 2026
A digital guest directory is your accommodation's information folder on a phone: wifi, breakfast times, house rules and more. The local area is one part of it, and you can fill that part with NearPin. NearPin is not a complete guest directory, but it provides the map of the surroundings and a page that guests open with a QR code.
What belongs in a digital guest directory
- Wifi name and password.
- Breakfast times and restaurant opening hours.
- House rules and check-out time.
- Contact details for when something comes up.
- Tips for the local area.
The last item takes the most upkeep, because the area keeps changing.
Where NearPin fits
NearPin shows the places around your location on a map and keeps the data current. You open that map through a QR code, on a page of its own for guests who have already checked in. If you already have a digital guest directory, you link to that page from it or place the widget on the directory's page.
What NearPin is not
NearPin does not manage wifi details, house rules or breakfast times. For those you use a guest directory or a simple page on your own site. You just no longer have to fill in the local area there yourself.
Try it first
You try NearPin free for 14 days and download the QR code straight from your dashboard.
