Meet Ana,
your next guest.
Together with the booking confirmation, Ana gets a link to your hostel app.
A great first impression!
Guestbuddy helps Ana discover the city even before the arrival:
‘Cafe closest to the hostel?’
‘Where can I eat something traditional?’
‘How to get to the Old Town?’
7 days before arrival, Ana gets a push notification about a City Tour.
Why not? It’s at her fingertips.
3 days before arrival, Ana checks in online exactly as she did before taking the plane!
Time to fly! While Ana waits for the plane, she scrolls through a list of events and fellow guests in the hostel.
On the hostel wall, Ana spots a post from
Leo. He’s inviting everyone to a local pub
for his birthday.
Ana has just left you a 5-star rating on Tripadvisor from Guestbuddy!
