What Is Hostfully — and Why the Integration Matters
Hostfully is a property management platform built specifically for vacation rental operators and short-term rental managers. It handles reservations from Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, and direct bookings in one place, alongside guest messaging, digital guidebooks, owner reporting, and channel management.
Hostfully is particularly popular among property managers who want to professionalize their operations — scaling from a handful of listings to dozens while maintaining a consistent, high-quality guest experience. The platform is known for its digital guidebook feature, which allows hosts to create branded digital welcome books with house rules, local recommendations, and check-in instructions.
📖 Hello Guest Screen + Hostfully Guidebook — a Natural Pair
Many Hostfully users add a QR code to their Hello Guest Screen TV display that links directly to their Hostfully digital guidebook. Guests who miss the pre-arrival email or SMS message from Hostfully see the QR code on the TV, scan it on arrival, and access the full guidebook instantly. The two tools work together — Hostfully handles pre-arrival communication, Hello Guest Screen handles the in-room welcome experience.
What Hostfully Syncs to Your Hello Guest Screen TV Display
Once your Hostfully account is connected, the following reservation data syncs automatically to your Hello Guest Screen TV displays for every booking.
| What Syncs from Hostfully | How It Appears on the TV Screen |
|---|---|
| Guest First Name | Personalized greeting: Welcome, Emma! — pulled from the Hostfully reservation guest record |
| Check-In Date and Time | Screen activates automatically based on the Hostfully check-in timestamp for each reservation |
| Check-Out Date and Time | Displayed on screen every time the TV is turned on throughout the stay — reduces late check-outs |
| Property Name | Your Hostfully listing name confirms the guest is at the correct property |
| Booking Channel | Source of booking (Airbnb, VRBO, Direct) from Hostfully — can be displayed or hidden per property settings |
| Guidebook QR Code Link | Link your Hostfully digital guidebook URL to the QR code on the TV — guests scan and access instantly on arrival |
| Automatic Screen Reset | After check-out, screen clears previous guest data and prepares for the next Hostfully reservation |
How to Connect Hello Guest Screen to Your Hostfully Account
The Hostfully connection takes under 10 minutes and requires no technical knowledge.
Step 1
Log In to Your Hello Guest Screen Dashboard
Go to helloguestscreen.com and sign in to your account. If you are new to Hello Guest Screen, start your free 14-day trial — no credit card required. Navigate to Settings, then Integrations from the dashboard.
Step 2
Select Hostfully from the Integrations List
In the Integrations section of your Hello Guest Screen dashboard, find Hostfully in the list of available integrations and select Connect. You will be directed to authorize the connection between the two platforms.
Step 3
Authorize Hello Guest Screen in Your Hostfully Account
Log in to your Hostfully account. Go to Settings, then Integrations or Connected Apps. Find Hello Guest Screen and click Authorize or Allow Access. This grants Hello Guest Screen read-only access to your reservation data. No payment data, guest contact details, or account settings are shared.
Step 4
Map Your Hostfully Properties to Hello Guest Screen Screens
Once connected, your Hostfully property listings appear in your Hello Guest Screen dashboard. Assign each Hostfully property to a Hello Guest Screen screen. If you manage 8 properties in Hostfully, you will set up 8 screens — one per property, each with its own customized welcome display.
Step 5
Add Your Hostfully Guidebook Link as the QR Code
For each property, copy the Hostfully digital guidebook URL for that listing. In your Hello Guest Screen property settings, paste this URL as the QR code destination. Guests who scan the QR code on the TV will be taken directly to the full Hostfully guidebook for that property — house rules, check-out instructions, local recommendations, and everything else you have set up in Hostfully.
Step 6
Customize the Welcome Screen for Each Property
Set the WiFi name and password, check-out time, logo or host photo, and personalized welcome message for each property. Background image and ambient video are optional. The guest name, check-in date, and check-out date update automatically from Hostfully for every new reservation. You set the fixed elements once and the dynamic content takes care of itself.
💡 Tip — Use Property-Specific Hostfully Guidebook Links
Hostfully creates a unique guidebook URL for each property listing. When setting up the QR code in Hello Guest Screen, use the specific guidebook URL for that property — not the general Hostfully account URL. This ensures guests are taken directly to the correct guidebook for the property they are staying in, not a generic dashboard page.
The Complete Guest Experience — Hostfully and Hello Guest Screen Together
Here is how Hostfully and Hello Guest Screen complement each other across the full guest journey.

| Before arrival | Hostfully | Digital guidebook sent via email or SMS — house rules, local tips, emergency contacts |
| Check-in | Hello Guest Screen | TV welcome screen activates automatically with guest name, WiFi, checkout time, and guidebook QR code |
| During stay | Hello Guest Screen | Guest sees WiFi and checkout time every time they turn on the TV — no need to search for a binder |

| After check-out | Hello Guest Screen | Welcome screen resets automatically for next incoming Hostfully reservation |
What Your Guests See on the TV
When a guest checks in to any of your Hostfully-managed properties and turns on the TV, they see a fully personalized welcome screen — with their name and reservation details pulled directly from Hostfully. The QR code links to the full Hostfully digital guidebook for that property.

Everything the Hostfully Integration Gives You
Everything below is included in the Hostfully integration at no extra cost — on top of the standard Hello Guest Screen feature set.
📖
Guidebook QR Code on Every TV
Link your Hostfully digital guidebook directly to the QR code on the TV display. Guests who miss the pre-arrival email see the QR code the moment they turn on the TV and access the full guidebook instantly — no app download required.
👥
Guest Name Always Included
The Hostfully API always includes complete guest records including first and last names. Hello Guest Screen pulls the guest first name for every reservation — no missing names, no manual entries needed.
🔗
All Booking Channels in One Connection
A single Hostfully connection covers reservations from Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, and direct bookings simultaneously. No separate iCal links per platform — one connection handles every channel you list on.
🔄
Modifications and Cancellations Sync
If a reservation is modified in Hostfully — check-out date changed, guest name corrected — the update syncs automatically to the Hello Guest Screen TV display. Cancellations also sync, reverting the screen to the next upcoming reservation or a neutral property display.
🏢
Unlimited Properties
There is no limit on the number of Hostfully properties you can connect to Hello Guest Screen. Every property in your Hostfully account can have its own TV welcome screen, all managed from a single Hello Guest Screen dashboard.
🔒
Secure OAuth API Connection
Hello Guest Screen connects to Hostfully using OAuth API authorization. Only reservation data (guest names and dates) is accessed — no payment information, guest contact details, financial records, or Hostfully account settings. The connection can be revoked at any time from your Hostfully Connected Apps section.
📍
Property-Specific Guidebook Links
Each property in Hostfully has its own unique guidebook URL. Hello Guest Screen lets you set a different QR code destination per property — so the TV in each rental links guests to that property’s specific guidebook, not a generic page.
🏡
Built for Remote Property Managers
Set up each property screen once. From that point on, guest names, check-in dates, and check-out dates update automatically from every Hostfully reservation. No property visits required between bookings — the whole system runs itself.

Answers to the most common questions from Hostfully property managers about connecting Hello Guest Screen.
Hello Guest Screen connects to Hostfully through the Hostfully API. In your Hello Guest Screen dashboard, navigate to Settings, then Integrations, and select Hostfully.

Once authorized, your Hostfully reservation data — guest names, check-in dates, check-out times — syncs automatically to your Hello Guest Screen TV displays for every property.
Yes — and this is one of the most popular features among Hostfully users. In your Hello Guest Screen property settings, paste your Hostfully digital guidebook URL as the QR code destination. Guests who scan the QR code on the TV are taken directly to your full Hostfully guidebook — house rules, local recommendations, check-out instructions, emergency contacts, and everything else you have set up. This is particularly useful for guests who missed the pre-arrival guidebook link sent by Hostfully.

No. Hello Guest Screen and the Hostfully digital guidebook serve different purposes and work best together. Hostfully’s guidebook is delivered to guests before arrival via email or SMS — it is the pre-arrival communication tool. Hello Guest Screen is the in-room welcome experience — it appears on the TV the moment guests arrive. The two tools complement each other: Hostfully handles before arrival, Hello Guest Screen handles the in-room moment. Many hosts link their Hostfully guidebook to the Hello Guest Screen QR code so guests can access the full guidebook from the TV.
Yes. Hello Guest Screen connects to Hostfully using OAuth API authorization — the same secure standard used by all reputable software integrations. Hello Guest Screen only reads reservation data (guest names and dates). It does not access payment information, guest contact details, financial records, or any Hostfully account settings. The connection can be revoked at any time from within your Hostfully account under Connected Apps or Integrations.
