Address & Location
Setting an accurate address and map location for your listing ensures guests can find your property easily. This information is displayed in booking confirmations, check-in instructions, and guidebooks.
Setting the address
- Go to Listings and click on the listing you want to edit.
- Navigate to the Address section.
- Fill in the following fields:
- Street address -- The street name and number.
- City -- The city or town where the property is located.
- State / Region -- The state, province, or region (if applicable).
- Postal code -- The ZIP or postal code.
- Country -- Select the country from the dropdown.
- Click Save to update the address.
TIP
Enter the full, precise address as it would appear on a postal envelope. This makes it easier for guests using GPS navigation to find your property.
Map placement
hejGuide includes a Google Maps integration that shows your property's location on an interactive map.
Adjusting the map pin
After entering the address, a map pin is placed automatically based on the address you provided. If the pin is not in the exact right spot:
- Click and drag the pin on the map to adjust its position.
- The geo-coordinates (latitude and longitude) will update automatically.
- Click Save to confirm the new position.
Entering coordinates manually
If you know the exact coordinates of your property, you can enter them directly:
- Enter the latitude value (e.g., 41.3851).
- Enter the longitude value (e.g., 2.1734).
- The map pin will move to match the coordinates you entered.
- Click Save.
TIP
You can find your property's exact coordinates by searching for it on Google Maps, right-clicking on the location, and selecting the coordinates from the context menu.
How the address is used
Your property address appears in several places:
- Booking confirmations -- Guests receive the address when their booking is confirmed.
- Check-in instructions -- The address is included in pre-arrival communications.
- Guidebooks -- If you create a digital guidebook, the property location is shown on the guidebook map.
- Housekeeping -- Team members can see the property location when assigned cleaning tasks.
WARNING
Make sure your address is correct before you start accepting bookings. An incorrect address can lead to confused guests and a poor first impression.
