Welkome is an AI-powered digital welcome guide platform for vacation rental hosts that generates a complete, multilingual property guide from just an address and property type. Try it for free at Welkome sign-up or see a demo guide.
What is Welkome?
Welkome is a software tool that creates digital welcome guides for short-term rental properties. It takes a property address and basic details (type, amenities) as input and produces a fully written guide with Wi-Fi info, check-in instructions, house rules, nearby restaurants, transit options, and emergency contacts. The platform runs entirely in a web browser — no app installation is needed by hosts or guests. It is developed by Welkome (no company name on page, but presumably the same).
Key Features
- AI Generation — Generate a complete guide draft in 30 seconds by entering the property address and type; the AI analyzes the neighborhood from local reviews and suggests relevant spots.
- Auto-Translation — Supports 6 languages (French, English, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese); the guide auto-detects the guest's browser language and displays the correct version with zero delay.
- QR Code & Link Sharing — Each guide gets a unique QR code and short link (e.g.,
/g/villa-azur) that hosts can print or send; guests scan or click to open the guide instantly in any browser — no account or app required.
- Editable Modules — Every section (text, photos, links, contacts) is editable by the host; changes in one language can be automatically suggested in the others.
- Built-in Analytics — Tracks views, modules visited, and languages used per guide so hosts see which content guests actually read (Premium feature).
- Finance Tracking — For each property, hosts can log revenue and expenses; the dashboard shows margins, occupancy, and profitability (available in Essential and Pro tiers).
- Custom Guide URL — Premium plans allow a personalized link like
/g/azure-villa-nice instead of a generic one.
- No Watermark — On paid plans (Essential and Pro), the Welkome watermark is removed from the guide.
Who is it for?
- Vacation rental hosts with one property — use the free Starter plan to test AI guide generation and share a single-language guide via QR code.
- Hosts managing 2-3 properties — subscribe to Essential (€9/month) for unlimited AI generations, 6 languages, custom URLs, guest analytics, and finance tracking.
- Multi-property hosts and property managers — use Pro (€19/month) for unlimited properties, priority support, and all features of Essential.
What can you do with Welkome?
- Reduce guest messages: Generate a guide that answers common questions (Wi-Fi password, check-in steps, trash schedule) so guests find the information themselves.
- Impress international guests: The guide auto-translates into the guest's browser language — German guests see German, Italian guests see Italian, without any extra work from the host.
- Replace a dusty paper binder: Instead of a printed A4 sheet that gets lost, create a digital guide accessible via a QR code stuck on the fridge; guests open it on their phone.
How does Welkome work?
- The host enters the property address and a few details (type, number of bedrooms, amenities) on the Welkome web app.
- AI combines this with local knowledge to write a complete draft guide in about 30 seconds.
- The host reviews and edits the guide, adding personal photos, favorite restaurants, or specific instructions.
- Welkome automatically translates the guide into 6 languages (FR, EN, ES, DE, IT, PT) at generation time.
- The host shares the guide link or prints the QR code and places it in the property; guests scan/click to read the guide in their language without installing anything.
