Personalized Accommodation

How to provide personalized accommodations or hotel lists via the Tour Guide App for your travelers.

Personalized accommodation and hotel list details in the Tour Guide App

With personalized accommodations or hotel lists, your travelers are served with booking specific information via the Tour Guide App (see the screenshot):

• arrival date: The arrival date for this accommodation

• departure date: The departure date for this accommodation

• comment: Any booking specific comments (e.g. breakfast included, 3 adults)

It is mandatory to provide the arrival and departure date for the trip as well as for all accommodations/hotels!

Automated day/stage category mapping

In case you want your hotels to be placed as start & end accommodation within the day/stage categories, you must ensure:

1. Each day/stage category has a destination POI (Add POI → Display → Icon → destination)

2. There is a day/stage category for the arrival day with a destination

Based on the destinations for each day/stage, GUIBO will add the hotel into the day/stage with the "nearest" destinations. If GUIBO finds destinations with the exact same distance, GUIBO will add the hotel to all related day/stage.

Best Practice to manage your destinations

We recommend to manage all your destinations for all guidebooks in one library! Linking those destinations from that library (instead of re-creating them for all guidebooks) ensures, that you have the exact same hotel to destination distance when you have more than one stage for a destination.
