Our Story
Gaestly was born from a simple observation: holiday homes deserve better than forgotten guestbooks gathering dust in drawers. Every home has stories worth preserving, and every guest leaves something meaningful behind.
Our Vision
We believe that every holiday home is more than just a place to stay—it's a canvas for experiences, a backdrop for shared laughter, discovery, and connection. Gaestly transforms the traditional guestbook into a living, breathing collection of memories that connects guests across time and creates lasting bonds between hosts and their visitors.
The Journey
Founded in Denmark and inspired by a family summer house in Bornholm, Gaestly emerged from decades of handwritten guestbooks that chronicled stories from travelers near and far. We were moved by how these books carried the essence of the home—the personality of the hosts, the beauty of the surroundings, and glimpses into countless lives over the years.
Why Gaestly
Traditional guestbooks often become afterthoughts—hidden away, rarely read, and eventually lost. Gaestly changes this by making memories accessible, shareable, and beautifully preserved. When guests contribute, they're sharing more than memories—they're leaving traces of themselves, small gifts of gratitude that create a tapestry of human connection.
Looking Forward
As we continue to grow, our commitment remains the same: to help create meaningful connections between hosts and guests, one story at a time. We dream of inspiring hosts to see their homes as living stages for storytelling, where each stay contributes to something greater—a living, breathing story that spans generations.
