What Are Guidebooks?
Guidebooks in Jurny provide your guests with digital, property-specific information—like check-in instructions, Wi-Fi details, local recommendations, and house rules—all in one easy-to-access place via the Guest App.
They help reduce guest questions, improve the guest experience, and save you time.
Before You Start: Guest App Feature Required
⚠️ Important: Guidebooks are only available if the Guest App feature is active on your account.
If you’re unsure whether this feature is enabled, please reach out to your Customer Success Manager.

✨ What’s New?
-
More Custom Fields for Property Information
We’ve expanded the available custom fields in the Guidebooks and they’ll feel instantly familiar because they’re the same fields you already use when creating templates.
You can now automatically pull in even more property details directly into your guidebooks, making content creation faster and more seamless.

A Better, Smarter Live Preview
The live preview was already a helpful way to review your guidebooks and now it’s even better!

Why you’ll love it:
- Jump to sections instantly
- Easier navigation while editing
- Faster content review
- More interactive preview experience
- Less scrolling, more efficiency

Generate a Public URL to Share Anywhere
Sharing your guidebooks is now even easier.

Perfect for:
- Sending directly to guests
- Sharing with staff or cleaners
- Quick access from any device
- Easy distribution without extra steps
These new updates are built to help you create smarter guidebooks, preview faster, and share effortlessly.
Save as draft to continue editing later or click Publish to make it available for your guests. Next, select the property or properties you wish to assign the guidebook to and you are ready to publish.
Customization Tips
-
Use your brand tone or voice to personalize the experience.
-
Update the Guidebook anytime—changes are reflected in real time.
-
For multi-unit properties, create one base template and duplicate it for similar units to save time. You can also add multiple units to the same guide if your properties use the same one.
📝 Note: If you have seasonal updates (like pool hours or local events), set a reminder to update the content accordingly.
