Our mission
Make hosting simple
That 2 AM message: "What's the WiFi?". HostCompass lets guests find everything themselves.
We know what it's like to get the same message at 2 AM: "What's the WiFi password?". That's why we created HostCompass, so your guests can find everything on their own and you can rest easy.
Build your guide once, share it, done. Fewer messages, better reviews, more time.
Live in three steps
From zero to a published guide in under 10 minutes.
1

Start from a ready-made guide for your property type and edit it your way.
2

What people say about us
“I put the guide's QR code in my Roma Norte apartment and repeat questions almost disappeared. My guests get straight to enjoying the views.”
Larren Lee
Superhost in Roma Norte, Mexico City
“The whole manual on my phone before we even arrived. Zero stress.”
Thomas Martin
Guest in Tulum
“I manage three properties and I was answering the same questions every single day. Now I send the link, and the messages I get are the ones that matter — not 'what time is checkout?'.”

“Maybe it's a coincidence, but since I started sending the guide my reviews keep mentioning 'great communication'.”
Elena Laurent
Host in Madrid
“The jacuzzi was my nightmare: nobody understood the buttons and I always ended up driving over. I recorded a one-minute video, put it on YouTube and dropped the link in the guide. I haven't been back since.”
