How to make a website for a guest house

Most people who look for a guest house have a reason to be in that part of town: a relative in the hospital, an exam, a court date, a work visit or a train early next morning. They want a clean room at a fair price, close by, and often for more than a few nights. A simple website with tariffs, distances and rules lets them decide from their phone and call you.

What people look for on a guest house website

Room tariffs per night for single, double and family rooms, AC and non-AC
Weekly and monthly rates for long stays
Distance to the nearby hospital, railway station, bus stand or exam centre
Check-in time, check-out time, and whether early check-in is possible for night trains
Which ID guests must bring at check-in
Whether there is a kitchen guests can use, meals on order or food places nearby
Photos of an actual room, the bathroom and the entrance

The pages your website needs

Home: Where you are, which places are nearby, tariffs from and a WhatsApp button to ask for a room
Rooms and tariff: Each room type with photos, the nightly tariff, extra mattress charge and what the room has
Long stays: Weekly and monthly rates, kitchen use, laundry and what long-stay guests should bring
Getting here: Walking time or auto fare from the hospital, station and bus stand, with landmarks
Contact and rules: Check-in and check-out times, ID needed, family and visitor rules, phone, WhatsApp and a Google Maps button

Sample words for your home page

Clean, quiet rooms near the medical college, Lucknow

AC and non-AC rooms from ₹900 a night, weekly rates for patients' families. Five minutes on foot from the hospital gate.

Shanti Guest House is a family-run building with 14 rooms. Many of our guests stay for a week or more while a family member is in hospital, so we keep a shared kitchen, a washing machine and quiet hours after 10 PM. Message us on WhatsApp with your dates.

Use these as a starting point and write them in your own words: AppCub can rewrite them for you in the chat.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

Decide the pages. Most guest house websites need these pages: Home, Rooms and tariff, Long stays, Getting here, Contact and rules.
Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, with your own name, address, prices and timings.
Check the plan. AppCub lists the pages and what goes on each. Ask for changes until it is right; seeing the plan is free.
Add your details and photos. Replace every sample with your real details, attach your own photos, and check each page on the phone and computer preview.
Publish and share. Choose your address (your-name.sites.appcub.ai), put the website live and share the link on WhatsApp.

Copy this request, change the details to match your guest house, and paste it into AppCub:

Make a website for my guest house, Shanti Guest House, five minutes from the medical college gate in Lucknow. 14 rooms. Pages: home, rooms and tariff, long stays, getting here, and contact and rules. Non-AC double ₹900 a night, AC double ₹1,300, family room for four ₹1,800; weekly rate is six nights' price. Shared kitchen and washing machine. Check-in 12 noon, check-out 11 AM; early check-in if the room is free. Every adult brings a government photo ID. WhatsApp 98XXXXXXXX. Cream and maroon colours.

Tips for a guest house website

Write the walking time or auto fare from the places your guests come for, such as the hospital gate or platform 1.
Show weekly and monthly rates clearly; long-stay guests decide on the total, not the nightly price.
State the ID rule plainly on the contact page, so nobody arrives late at night without one.
Use photos of a real room as it looks every day, not only your newest room.
Say who the guest house is for, such as families and working travellers, and your rules on visitors.
Add the guest house to Google Maps with a free Google Business Profile and put the website link there.

Good to know

Guests can't see free rooms, book or pay an advance on the website; they WhatsApp or call you. To keep the room register, guest records and long-stay bills, a guest house app is the better fit.
The pages are written in English. You can talk to AppCub in English, Hindi or Hinglish.
A website has no forms, bookings, payments or logins: visitors reach you on WhatsApp, by phone or on Google Maps.
Every page carries a small “Made with AppCub” badge and a “Report this site” link.

Questions

What should a guest house website show first?

Where you are and what is nearby, the starting tariff and a WhatsApp button. Most guests choose a guest house for its location.

Should I show weekly and monthly rates?

Yes, if you take long stays. Families staying near a hospital or people on a work posting want to know the total before they call.

Can guests book a room on the guest house website?

No. The website has no booking calendar or payments; guests send their dates on WhatsApp and you confirm.

Should I write my ID rules on the website?

Yes. Saying which ID each adult must bring avoids arguments at check-in, especially late at night.

How is a guest house website different from a hotel website?

A guest house website is simpler: plain rooms, honest tariffs, long-stay rates and how near you are to the place guests need to be, rather than restaurants and facilities.

Will people searching for a guest house near the hospital find my site?

The pages are made so Google can read them, with the landmarks near you in plain words. Where they appear is Google's decision; a free Google Business Profile helps on Maps.
