# Keylo — Digital Guest App for Short-Term Rental Hosts

> Keylo is a web-based SaaS tool that helps Airbnb and vacation rental hosts create a branded digital guidebook for their property — accessible by guests via a unique link, no app download required.

## What Keylo does

Keylo generates a personalized guest app for each short-term rental property. Hosts configure it once using a visual builder, and guests access it instantly from any device via a unique link sent at booking. The entire guest experience is in the guest's language — Keylo automatically translates content into 16 languages.

## Key features

- **Digital guest guidebook**: Check-in instructions, house rules, Wi-Fi details, property manual, local recommendations, upsell services — all in one link.
- **Automatic translation**: Content is automatically translated into 16 languages (Italian, English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Greek, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Croatian, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Russian, Hindi).
- **Booking management**: Hosts create one booking per guest stay with a scoped link that expires at checkout. Prevents past guests from accessing a current guest's information.
- **Timed check-in access**: The "How to Enter" section is hidden until a configurable date and time — so entry instructions only appear when the guest is actually allowed to check in.
- **No app download**: Guests access the guidebook directly from a web link — no installation, no account, no friction.
- **Multi-property management**: Hosts manage multiple properties from a single account dashboard.
- **Visual builder**: Configure every section (general info, Wi-Fi, entry instructions, manuals, upsells, contacts, local places) via a mobile-style live preview builder.
- **Upsell services**: Hosts can offer paid extra services (late checkout, luggage storage, tours, airport transfers, etc.) directly inside the guest app.
- **Wi-Fi QR code**: Auto-generated QR code for instant Wi-Fi connection.
- **Local recommendations map**: Hosts pin their favorite restaurants, shops, and attractions on an interactive map.
