Do my guests need to create an account or download an app?
No. Guests open a link on their phone. That's it. No signup, no download, no friction. The page works on any smartphone browser.
Your guests stop calling at midnight.
Parkyvo connects to your Airbnb calendar and sends every guest a parking page before check-in - welcome message, photo, map, instructions. No account required. No app. Set up once. Works automatically forever.
No credit card required. Your guests need no account and no app download.
You've explained your parking spot a hundred times. You'll do it again tonight.
A guest arrives at your apartment at 11pm. They can't find the parking spot. They call you. You explain - entrance on the left, underground level 1, spot P-44. They still get it wrong. A neighbor leaves a note on their windshield. You get a 4-star review mentioning 'confusing parking.' This happens to every Airbnb host with a private parking spot. And it keeps happening because the only solution anyone offers is: write it down and repeat yourself.
Parkyvo fixes it permanently. Once.
1
Add your spot
Upload a photo of your parking spot, drop a pin on the map, write your instructions. Takes 2 minutes. You do this once.
2
Connect your Airbnb calendar
Paste your Airbnb iCal export URL. Parkyvo detects every new booking automatically - check-in date, check-out date, booking window. No manual updates.
3
Paste link into your welcome message
Copy the link into your Airbnb message. Every future guest automatically receives their personal parking page 24 hours before check-in. You never touch it again.
What your guest receives
A clean mobile page. No account. No download. Everything they need.
Photo of your spot
Guests see exactly where they're going before they arrive - not a text description, an actual photo.
Map with pin
Precise location on a map they can open in Google Maps or Apple Maps with one tap.
Your written instructions
Whatever you write - entrance details, barrier instructions, 'turn left after the yellow pillar' - displayed clearly in the guest's language.
Gate code - active only during their stay
Your barrier code appears automatically when their booking window opens. It disappears after checkout. Previous guests can never reuse it.
Plate confirmation
Guests enter their license plate and confirm. Timestamped and logged - your proof if a neighbor ever claims a stranger was in the wrong spot.
'I've Arrived' button
Guest taps it when they've parked. You get a notification. No more wondering if they found the spot.
This isn't a rare problem. It's documented everywhere.
Property lawyer, JustAnswerLegal Risk
“Hosts can face negligence claims if they failed to provide adequate parking instructions. To protect yourself, show that you provided instructions to guests.”
Hostaway - Airbnb management platformReview Impact
“Repeated parking complaints from neighbors can lead to temporary suspension or permanent delisting of your listing.”
Airbnb Community ForumReal Host Story
“Guests rang the doorbell at 11pm because they hadn't read the instructions. I suggested a temporary spot. They parked there and got towed. $230 tow fee. $150 ticket. Ruined stay.”
Parkyvo gives you timestamped proof that you gave your guest correct parking instructions. That timestamp is your legal shield.
Why isn't a welcome message enough?
Welcome messages work - until they don't. The guest reads it three weeks before arrival and forgets. They screenshot it and can't find the screenshot at 11pm. The instructions made sense when you wrote them but mean nothing to someone who's never been there. Parkyvo delivers a carefully crafted parking instructions page. On their phone. With a photo. With a map they can open. The information is the same. The delivery is completely different.

Common questions
How do I connect my Airbnb calendar?
In your Airbnb account, go to your listing's availability settings and copy your iCal export URL. Paste it into Parkyvo once. We walk you through it step by step during onboarding.
What if I have guests on Booking.com too?
Booking.com also supports iCal export. You can connect both calendars to the same spot. Parkyvo merges the booking windows and handles both automatically.
My parking spot changes sometimes. Can I update the instructions?
Yes. Update the photo, map pin, or instructions anytime. All future guest pages automatically reflect the change - you don't need to resend anything.
What if a neighbor claims my guest parked wrong?
Pull up the reservation in Parkyvo. You'll see the exact timestamp when the guest confirmed their plate, which spot they were assigned to, and when they tapped 'I've arrived.' That's your documented proof. The dispute ends there.
Does this work if I manage properties through Smoobu, Hospitable, or another PMS?
Yes. Parkyvo works alongside your existing property management software - it doesn't replace it. You keep using your PMS for messaging, pricing, and channel management. Parkyvo handles parking only, and better than any PMS ever will.
Set up in 3 minutes. Never explain your parking again.
The next guest who calls you at midnight asking where to park will be the last one.
