The review QR

Make the review the easy part.

Paste your Airbnb or Stayz listing link when you make your guidebook. It becomes a "Loved your stay? Leave a 5-star review" QR code on the fridge card, the back cover and the phone page, so a happy guest is one scan from your review page, on the day they leave.

A polite request, nothing more: no discounts, gifts or refunds for reviews, because Airbnb and Stayz both prohibit them.

Your photos, not stock

It looks like your place, because it is.

Add up to eight photos at the start: the view, the deck, the bedroom, the street. The first becomes your cover; the rest lead each chapter. No photos? The layout switches to a clean typographic edition.

Photos are kept private to your guidebook and never used anywhere else. The interiors on this page are illustrative and AI-generated, not customer properties.

Before you decide

The four questions every host asks.

What do I get?
The Fridge Card: one printable page with arrival, WiFi and its join code, house rules, check-out, emergency and your review QR. The Guest Edition adds a multi-page, magazine-style guidebook PDF with your photos and a phone page for guests.
Will it work for my place?
It only uses what you type, so it fits a beach shack, a city apartment or a six-bedroom farmhouse. Read a finished example, then see your own cover before paying anything.
How fast?
Ten minutes on the form, about 30 seconds to write, and the PDF is ready to print for the guest arriving tomorrow.
How much work for me?
One form and a few photos. No app, no design, no account. Anything you skip becomes a marked placeholder you can fill in later.

If it isn't useful, reply to your receipt within 30 days for a full refund.

Reviews

New, so no reviews yet.

We would rather show none than invent them. Every buyer gets a private review link a week after purchase, once a guest has used it. Reviews appear here only with the host's consent, unedited, with their first name and property type, good or bad.

Until then, judge the real thing: read the full example.

Questions

Small print, plainly.

Is it really one-time?

Yes. A$19 for the Fridge Card or A$49 for the Guest Edition, per property, paid once in Australian dollars (GST included). No subscription. The PDF and the card are yours to keep and reprint; the Guest Edition's phone page is hosted for 12 months.

Will the AI make things up about my place?

It writes only from what you type and any listing description you paste. Anything you leave out becomes a clearly marked placeholder like [add your lockbox code], never a guess. You read it through before guests do, and you can fix any line.

Can I edit it after it is written?

Yes. Change any answer, add or swap photos, and rewrite as often as you like. Reprint the card or download the PDF again; the guest link and its QR code stay the same.

Where do my photos go?

Into your guidebook only. They are stored privately with your guidebook, shown only through its own link and PDF, never used in our marketing and never shown to anyone else. Photos are shrunk on your phone before upload.

How do guests get it?

Stick the Fridge Card on the fridge, leave the printed Guest Edition on the coffee table, and paste the phone link into your Airbnb or Stayz check-in message. Guests need no app and no login.

Is the review QR allowed?

Yes. It politely asks guests who enjoyed their stay to leave a review and opens your listing. It never offers anything in return: Airbnb and Stayz both prohibit incentives for reviews, so we never print one.

Is this an Airbnb product?

No. Independent and Australian-focused. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Airbnb or Stayz. It works for any listing on any platform, or for direct bookings.

Refunds?

If it isn't useful, reply to your receipt within 30 days for a full refund. No form, no questions; Lemon Squeezy refunds the card within a few days. One refund per customer.
