For bed-and-breakfasts and rural tourism

Share your local knowledge with your guests

A digital map featuring routes, trusted restaurants, and hidden gems that only you know about. Branded with your bed-and-breakfast’s logo.

You know every nook and cranny of your neighborhood. But your guest doesn't.

Visitors come looking for an authentic experience, but information about the area is scattered. Generic brochures, Google Maps with impersonal results, and you repeating the same directions over and over.

Fragmented information about the environment

Visitors have to check five different places: the city hall website, Google, brochures, and ask at the local bar. No one tells them what you know.

You keep repeating the same instructions

“Take the road toward…,” “There’s a restaurant 10 minutes away that…,”“The river route is the best for….”Every guest gets the same explanation.

City hall brochures aren't enough

They're generic, outdated, and don't include your favorite places. They don't capture what makes your area special.

Guests who discover the "hidden gems" leave the best reviews

The best reviews don't mention the bed or the shower—they talk about "the host recommended an amazing route" and "we discovered a place that isn't on any map." That's what makes all the difference.

Your local knowledge, on a map that guests carry in their pocket

Authenticity

Your real recommendations, not those generated by an algorithm. Guests discover the area through the people who know it best.

Local economy

The restaurants, artisans, and producers you recommend are local. Visitors' spending stays in the local economy.

No expiration date

A change of season, a new route, a local event: update whenever you want, without having to reprint anything.

What's included in your map

Endless itineraries, restaurants, and hidden gems

Add whatever you like: hiking trails, favorite restaurants, local producers, scenic overlooks, natural pools, charming villages. The possibilities are endless.

Under your bed-and-breakfast brand

Your home's logo, name, and colors. Guests see YOUR guide, not a generic app.

Who puts the map together?

We'll take care of it. All you have to do is share your favorite places by phone, WhatsApp, or email.

How does the guest see it?

Can I add hiking trails?

Yes, anywhere on the map: routes, scenic overlooks, natural pools, local producers—whatever you like.

Is it hard to use?

No. It works like Google Maps, but only with your locations. The guest just scans the QR code, and that's it.

What does "creating an experience for the marketplace" mean?

When you join Spotlife, you contribute at least one experience from your area to the Spotlife marketplace (a walking tour, a dining recommendation, or a local experience that only you can offer). You tell us about it, and we’ll set it up with you. It’s authentic content that enriches the ecosystem and helps you reach more travelers.

Who is the ambassador who will promote my bed-and-breakfast?

A creator who specializes in discovering and recommending places. We’ll match you with one of our ambassadors who knows your area or the type of traveler who typically visits it.
