A complete guest experience, upsell, and AI communication platform all in one. Because the property owner gives it the information, it can’t get confused and make things up. Guests don't have to download another app and you don't need to supply a screen. Super impressive.

My guests can scan a QR code and instantly have a local guide and apartment info at their fingertips... The process to fill out the details was so well thought through. I wish everywhere I stayed on my travels had this!

Absolutely love KoruStay! We used to use a generic digital guide... KoruStay is head and shoulders above that. Our direct booking website’s Google Authority has doubled since we joined. Definitely not a coincidence. Highly recommend!

Guests Deserve to Feel Like a Local wherever they are

An immersive, thumb-friendly mobile experience that replaces crumpled paper binders and rigid AI FAQ bots.

Emergency alerts and live event coverage available in supported regions, with more added continuously.

Most “AI Guidebooks” Are Just Rigid AI FAQ Bots

Basic AI FAQ bots guess keywords, misunderstand phrasing, and end up causing more late-night host messages than they prevent.

Pio is different. It is a true hospitality concierge that already knows your property rules inside and out. It answers questions about the hot tub, parking, or air conditioning accurately. If you want to steer Pio to highlight your favorite neighborhood bakery, suggest an early check-in, or remind guests about your direct booking site, you can train it with simple standing notes.

Then, Host Analytics shows you the questions guests asked Pio that they never texted you. You catch silent operational friction before it turns into a 4-star review.

“I love that we can see how our guests are interacting with the guidebook and Pio — getting the answers they need without having to message us, and confirming we have the right property details dialed in.”

Stop Losing 15%–20% on Every Booking

If you already run a direct booking website on Lodgify, GuestIntro, or a site you built yourself, keep it! KoruStay is the live digital guidebook inside the stay that actively powers it.

Other digital guidebooks are invisible dead-ends that guests close when their trip ends. KoruStay is the only digital guidebook powered by proprietary background code that search engines and AI assistants read.

Every time a guest interacts with your house rules, Wi-Fi, or local gems, that real engagement builds digital authority around your property. It helps new guests discover your listings online, while our Pro Preferred Booking Link steers returning guests directly to your website — completely commission-free.

OTA Loop vs. KoruStay Direct Loop

⚡ KoruStay with KoruSignal™

Frequently Asked Questions

Do my guests need to download an app?
No. Paste the guidebook URL into check-in (or a QR). It opens on their phone.
Is KoruStay only a digital guidebook?
It all starts with the guidebook. Guests feel like a local. You get Market Compare, Guest Experience, and KoruSignal on the live page. We are not a website builder.
If I add new features, does my price go up?
New features on the plan you already pay for stay at that price. They ship about every two months. A higher plan is only if you choose to upgrade.
Do you replace Lodgify or my booking website?
No. Keep the site. The live guidebook markets your listings and can point the next stay at your site on Boost. It does not guarantee a Google ranking.
How is Pio different from a FAQ chatbot?
FAQ bots often create more questions. Pio already answers from your stay. Train it only if you want to emphasise extras or the next booking.
What does Market Compare do?
Rates guests see, and amenities / features versus nearby stays and versus your own listings. You update the guidebook and the listings. We do not edit Airbnb for you.
How do extras work?
Cash on site or your own payment link: no KoruStay Checkout fee. Or use the inbuilt engine (4.5% / 1.5% + Stripe card fee).
Can I start without a card?
Yes. Start your KoruStay experience for Free (Guide). Upgrade later if you need to.
