Good places, nothing else
Your local recommendations, shared with every guest
HerePicks does one thing: it shares the places you'd tell a friend about. No wifi codes, no check-in, no house rules. Just your favourite restaurant, the café on the corner and the walk few visitors know, in a guide that opens with a QR code scan.
Why a tool just for good places?
Travellers can find hundreds of restaurants on a map. What they can't find is your opinion: that of someone who lives there, goes back, and knows you need to book on Fridays. That's the advice HerePicks puts front and centre.
You already have tools for bookings and check-in. HerePicks doesn't try to replace them: it takes care of the part of hospitality that comes from the heart, and that deserves better than a message lost in a chat thread.
What a HerePicks recommendation contains
- The place: name, address, photo, phone and website, filled in automatically from a search.
- Travel time on foot and by car from your property, worked out for you.
- Your note: the line explaining why you recommend it, highlighted on its page.
- Useful markers: recommended, child-friendly, booking advised, wheelchair accessible, price range.
- One-tap directions in Google Maps or Apple Maps.
For guests: quick and simple
Guests scan the QR code or tap the link. The guide opens in their browser, in their language, with no account or app. They can search for a place, filter by category, open the map or see what's closest to them.
For hosts: up to date in twenty seconds
A place closes, a café changes its hours: you fix it from your phone and it's live immediately. The link and QR code never change, so nothing needs reprinting. On the Host plan, statistics show which places really get viewed.
How to choose these places, how many to include, how to describe them? Our guide on which local spots to recommend answers them in detail, and our free local recommendations template helps you draft the list.
Free to start

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from a classic welcome book?
A classic welcome book holds everything: wifi, instructions, rules, places. HerePicks keeps only the places, and makes them more useful: photos, travel times, one-tap directions, instant updates.
Can I add practical places too?
Yes, the Practical category is there for the pharmacy, supermarket or station. What isn't a place, like a wifi code or check-out instructions, doesn't belong in HerePicks.
Are recommendations sponsored?
No. You choose your places freely; HerePicks adds none of its own and shows no advertising in guides.
Where do the photos come from?
You can use the photo Google Maps offers for the place, or upload your own.
Do my recommendations belong to me?
Yes. The content you publish remains yours; HerePicks only displays it to run your guide, as set out in the terms of use.
