Product Update: Here’s what’s new in Travlr. The mobile travel companion for short-term rental guests.
For hosts who activate Automation from their dashboard, a beautiful and secure web page, along with a world-class mobile app that delivers your hospitality offering to your guests before, during, and after their trip is distributed.
As many guests don’t want to actually download and install another app, the primary point of communication, is a secure, mobile web page that delivers critical information on behalf of each host. Such information as welcome messages, and check in instructions is vital for each guest coming to stay with you and only improves on the hospitality experience for a potentially nervous traveler.
Aside from the basics, we’ve made some visual enhancements and functional improvements to the traveler to put more choices in their hands.
Here’s the full list of features now included from top to bottom:
1. Translation
English isn’t your guests’ first language? No problem, translation services are available to convert the page and all information, into any language covered by Google Translate.
2. Trust & Security
Every guest will see your photo and name to ensure they feel safe and let them verify you’re the same host they booked.
3. Welcome Messages
Your welcome message to each guest appears here and is available at your first interaction with your incoming guests, 5 days before they are scheduled to arrive.
4. Location
The property name and address reassures your guests they’re heading to the same place they booked. It also links to GPS map services, for those who are navigating in to your property.
5. Early Check In Convenience Offerings
By default, every guest is offered early check in conveniences. Hosts choose not to turn on EEM (Earn Extra Money) will receive requests with estimated earnings and the option to then log in and authorize early check ins for their property. Guests will make the “request” Guests will receive a second notice if hosts approve the early check in request and can proceed to payment.
For hosts who have EEM already turned on, guests will simply proceed to payment and the host will be notified that the payment has been made and the guest will arrive at an alternate time.
6. Check In And Arrival Instructions
