GuestView Guide has gone. Your welcome doesn't have to.
Sharp NEC sunset GuestView Guide in October 2024, leaving its wall displays dark. The good news: the same answers live better on the guest's own phone, with nothing to mount and nothing to replace.
The short answer
Yes. GuestView Guide shut down in October 2024, so the best replacement is a web guide on the guest's own phone. StayBinder shows the same house manual, local picks, Wi-Fi and checkout, opened by one QR code with no app, from £9.99/mo plus £4.99 per extra property with no hardware to mount or replace, and a 14-day trial that needs no card.

GuestView Guide vs StayBinder
What happened to GuestView Guide?
GuestView Guide, the in-property display made by Sharp NEC, stopped accepting new customers and shut the service down in October 2024. The wall units no longer receive content.
What should I replace GuestView Guide with?
A web-based digital guidebook. Guests open it on their own phone with one QR code, no app and no login, so there is no hardware to buy, mount, update or replace, and the guide works before arrival, in the property and after checkout. See how it works.
How do I move my GuestView Guide content to StayBinder?
Recreate your sections in StayBinder's guided setup, most hosts finish in an afternoon. House manual entries, local recommendations, Wi-Fi and checkout details all have a natural home, and the 14-day trial needs no card.
What does StayBinder cost compared with a wall display?
StayBinder is £9.99 a month for your first property, then £4.99 for each extra, and you can pause a property in the off-season so the charge pauses too. A GuestView Guide wall unit ran nearer $500 a year at its last published pricing, with hardware to mount and replace. More on our pricing.
