LogîsKeyPaper or digital welcome book?
A paper welcome book is cheap to start and works without a phone, but it gets lost, goes out of date and is usually in one language. A digital guidebook is on your guest’s phone, is always up to date and can be in several languages, but it needs a phone and an internet connection. Many hosts combine both.

When paper is better
For guests without a smartphone, or in a rental with no signal and no wifi. A short A4 sheet with the wifi, the emergency numbers and the main rules is then a good addition to the digital guide.
Switching over
Take the text from your paper folder and split it across the LogîsKey tiles: wifi, check-in and check-out, house rules, good to know, activities, food and drink, contact. Feel free to leave the folder out, with a note pointing to the card.
