Before you decide

Can I try Best Guest before purchasing?

Yes — you can try Best Guest free for 14 days with no long-term commitment, and cancel at any time.

How does the pricing model work?

Best Guest has two pricing models. Either you pay 0,40 € per completed check-in — no flat fee, no commitment, and nothing at all in months with no guests. Or you choose a flat rate per listing with unlimited guest forms: 9,90 € per month billed monthly, or 8,25 € per month billed annually. Both models include the full feature set with no hidden fees.

How long does setup take?

If you already have a business ID (IČO), access to the Foreign Police reporting system, and are registered for local fees with your municipality, you can usually set up Best Guest in under an hour. If any of these registrations are still missing, they need to be completed first and approved by the relevant authorities. We're happy to help with both the Foreign Police registration and local fee setup, to make the whole process as fast as possible and free of unnecessary admin.

Can I start without migrating historical data?

Yes — you can start using Best Guest for new reservations immediately without migrating historical records, and we can help import older data later if needed.

From 0,40 € per completed check-in, or 8,25 € per listing per month billed annually.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about setting up compliance automation.

What is Best Guest?

Best Guest is a platform that automates guest registration, preparing reports for Slovakia's Foreign Police, keeping the accommodation register, and managing local fees for accommodation providers in Slovakia.

Is Best Guest a Property Management System (PMS)?

No, Best Guest is not a Property Management System — it focuses exclusively on guest registration and legal compliance, not pricing, availability, inventory, or OTA synchronization.

What is the Cudzinecká polícia SR (Slovak Foreign Police)?

The Cudzinecká polícia SR is the official authority for reporting the stay of foreign nationals in Slovakia. Accommodation providers are legally required to record and report information about foreign guests.

Can reservations be imported automatically from Airbnb, Booking.com, and other channels?

Yes — Best Guest automatically imports reservations from Airbnb, Booking.com, and most channel managers and PMS platforms, and can send guest registration forms and start online check-in without manual intervention for bookings made through public booking links.

Does Best Guest generate the accommodation register (kniha ubytovaných)?

Yes — Best Guest maintains the accommodation register automatically and keeps records ready for any inspection.

Is digital guest registration valid in Slovakia?

Yes — digital guest registration is valid in Slovakia when it includes a digital signature and a complete audit trail, which Best Guest provides.

What happens if a guest doesn't complete online check-in?

Best Guest automatically reminds guests to complete their registration and notifies you about any missing information. The admin dashboard clearly shows the status of every reservation, allowing you to spot potential issues early and complete the registration on arrival if necessary.

How does Best Guest prepare reports for the Foreign Police?

Once guests complete online registration and you verify their details, Best Guest automatically formats the complete report and accommodation register entry, ready for manual submission via portal.minv.sk — no retyping required.

How is the accommodation tax calculated?

Best Guest automatically calculates local accommodation taxes based on guest information, identifies guests who are exempt from the fee, and helps you avoid overpaying. It also generates clear reports and records required by local authorities.

Can guests upload document photos and sign forms?

No — the online check-in form itself does not collect document photos. It collects address details, required compliance fields, and a digital signature. The optional front-desk document scanner works differently: text recognition happens directly on the phone and the image is never stored or sent unless you explicitly allow it.

Which channel managers and PMS platforms does Best Guest support?

Best Guest integrates with Guesty, Hostaway, Smoobu, Lodgify, Cloudbeds, Mews, SiteMinder, Avantio, Beds24, Hostfully, Hostify, Uplisting, Tokeet, OwnerRez, iGMS, Rentals United, Sirvoy, RMS Cloud, eviivo, Guestline, Little Hotelier, Zeevou, and Amenitiz, alongside direct OTA integrations for Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia, VRBO, Agoda, and Trip.com. See our integrations page for setup guides.

How does Best Guest work?

Best Guest imports your reservations from booking channels or channel managers, sends each guest a secure link to complete check-in online before arrival, and once the stay is verified, automatically prepares the required report for the Foreign Police, ready for submission via portal.minv.sk.

Can I use Best Guest without the Foreign Police registration?

Yes — you can start using Best Guest before your Foreign Police registration is complete, and once you have your access credentials, we'll help you set up automatic report preparation for submission.

What happens to my data after 6 years?

Best Guest stores data for the legally required retention period and allows exports at any time. After the retention period expires, data is securely deleted in accordance with applicable regulations.

Do guests have to complete registration before arrival?

No — guests can complete registration either before arrival or during check-in, though finishing it in advance reduces administrative work and surfaces missing information early.

Which languages are supported for guest check-in?

43 languages — including English, German, Czech, Slovak, French, Italian, Spanish, Polish, Ukrainian, Russian, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. The form opens in the guest's own language, so they can complete it without help.

Is guest data secure?

Yes — Best Guest protects guest data with encrypted communication, audit logs, and role-based access controls, in line with GDPR and Slovak law.

What is the kniha ubytovaných (accommodation register)?

The kniha ubytovaných is the legally required register kept by accommodation providers in Slovakia. It contains information about guests, stays, and related obligations. Best Guest manages it automatically and keeps it ready for inspections and exports.

What is Best Guest not designed for?

It doesn't manage pricing, availability, or distribution — reservations and rates stay in your PMS or channel manager. And it doesn't obtain your registrations for you: the business ID (IČO), Foreign Police reporting access and local fee registration all have to be in your name. We'll show you how to get them, and once you have them we take over everything that follows — online check-in, the accommodation register, report preparation and fee calculation.

Can I use Best Guest for multiple properties?

Yes — Best Guest works across individual apartments, guesthouses, hotels, and larger portfolios, with reservations, guest registrations, and records for every property managed from a single dashboard.

Can I export records for inspections or my own archives?

Yes — you can export the accommodation register, local fee summaries, and other records at any time for inspections, your municipality, the Foreign Police, or your own archive.

What if a guest enters incorrect or incomplete information?

Best Guest validates required fields automatically and notifies guests about any missing information. Reservations that require attention are clearly highlighted in the admin dashboard, and guests receive automatic reminders to complete their registration. Hosts can also edit or supplement guest information directly in the administration panel whenever necessary. Final review and approval always remain under the accommodation provider's control.

Can the primary guest enter information for other group members?

Yes — the primary guest can either invite fellow travelers to complete their own information or enter it on their behalf, and Best Guest supports both workflows while ensuring all legally required information is collected.

What if I manage properties for other owners?

Best Guest supports property managers and multi-property operations. Role-based access and centralized administration make it easy to manage larger portfolios.

Do guests need to install an app or create an account?

No — guests don't need to install an app or create an account; they open a secure link, complete the required information, and confirm registration directly in their browser.

Do I need to be physically present during check-in?

No — guests can complete registration before arrival so you can review it in the Best Guest dashboard in advance, though the accommodation provider always remains legally responsible for the accuracy and proper maintenance of the records. Hosts can review, edit, and approve guest information before it is submitted.

Can I start with one property and scale later?

Yes — Best Guest works equally well for a single apartment or a large portfolio, so you can start small and scale later without changing your workflow or software stack.

How does onboarding support work?

We help with initial setup, connecting your integrations, and registering with the Foreign Police or for local fees if needed. Our goal is to get you preparing reports automatically as quickly as possible.

What if a guest does not have a smartphone?

Guests can complete registration on any device with a web browser, including computers and tablets. If necessary, hosts can also enter or update information directly in the Best Guest administration panel.

Can I use Best Guest for in-person check-in?

Yes — Best Guest supports both self-check-in and traditional in-person check-in, so you can review and approve guest information together on arrival or complete it online in advance.

What about reservations from my own website?

Best Guest supports reservations created through public booking links and direct website bookings. Guest registration forms and online check-in messages can be sent automatically without manual intervention.

Can I submit a guest registration to the Foreign Police before the guest checks in?

Yes. Once you've collected all the required guest information, you can prepare the report for Slovakia's Foreign Police before the guest actually arrives. There's no requirement to wait until the day of check-in or several days after arrival. Slovak law sets only the latest deadline for reporting foreign guests to the Cudzinecká polícia SR, not the earliest possible time to submit. As long as the information is complete and accurate, the report can be prepared in advance. Best Guest automatically prepares the complete report as soon as the guest finishes online check-in, so you can submit it via portal.minv.sk any time before arrival. If a reservation changes or is cancelled, the data can be updated according to the Foreign Police system's procedures.

Still deciding?

The questions people ask right before they start

Short answers to what usually tips the decision.

What happens if I cancel my subscription?

You can export your records and legally required documentation at any time before cancelling. Your data remains accessible and portable according to the retention terms of the service.

Who remains legally responsible for the submitted data?

Hosts remain legally responsible for all submitted data. Best Guest acts as an automation tool: you can choose to manually review and confirm guest inputs or enable automatic closure workflows (where you accept responsibility for auto-finalized records).

What happens if regulations change?

Best Guest continuously monitors changes to Slovak regulations covering guest registration, the Foreign Police, and local fees. Updates are delivered automatically, so you don't need to manually adjust forms or workflows when legal requirements change. Always confirm current requirements with your municipality.

Do I still need Best Guest if I already use Guesty, Cloudbeds, Beds24, or another channel manager?

Yes — Best Guest doesn't replace your channel manager or PMS; it runs alongside tools like Guesty, Cloudbeds, or Beds24 and focuses on guest registration and legal compliance instead of reservations, pricing, or distribution.
