Set up a vacation rental AI assistant starting from the right information
A practical guide to configure Cohosty, generate the QR code and make guest chat ready for the first stay.
Essential information first
QR code and guest chat ready
Real test before arrival
Prepare only the essentials
You do not need a perfect guide. To start well, prepare the information guests look for when they arrive or during the first hours.
Start with access, Wi-Fi, rules, parking, check-out, appliances and useful contacts. Then add area tips, restaurants, taxis, beaches or nearby services.
- Access, timing, keys and keybox.
- Wi-Fi, rules, parking and waste collection.
- Local recommendations and nearby services.
- Contacts, emergencies and bookable extras.
Setup in short steps
Create the property, enter name and address, then add the basic information. Cohosty connects that information to the property chat.
When you generate QR code and guest link, the property becomes available without an app: guests scan and ask what they need.
- Create the property.
- Add practical information.
- Complete area and recommendations.
- Generate QR code and guest chat.
- Run a real test.
Test and improve after the first stays
Before publishing, try simple questions: Wi-Fi password, check-out time, restaurants, parking and rules.
After the first stays, check what guests ask and add missing information. The best setup comes from small real corrections.
- Test chat like a guest who just arrived.
- Place the QR code where it is visible.
- Update passwords, rules and services when they change.
- Add new answers from real guest questions.
