1. Check location and nearby visibility

In the editor’s Location, check the address and map pin. Enable Show nearby tourism information on the guest page and save.

Nearby information and taxi connections have separate switches. Changing one leaves the other unchanged.

2. Open Nearby as a guest

Select Nearby in the published guide. Review the categories, places and distance ranges.

The list is automatically filled using Korea Tourism Organization information and stayV’s criteria. Hosts currently cannot add places or rearrange recommendations directly. Put favourites such as a local restaurant in an FAQ or guidance card.

3. Understand where distances are measured from

Try the distance filters. In the public view without a code, distances start from an approximate point near the property to protect its exact location. This differs from the location used for a booked guest after code entry.

Card distances are not walking or driving times. Choose the transport mode and starting point in an external map to check the actual route and duration.

5. Check the destination in the external map

Check that the map destination matches the place you selected. A starting point may be missing on a computer or with phone location permissions disabled. Choose one manually in that case.

6. Check current information and other languages

Opening hours, prices, closing days and events can change. Tell guests to check the place’s official information before visiting. Some places may appear differently by language, so try the language your guests use most.

Finally, follow “Nearby → select place → open map → return to guide” on your phone to check the guest’s whole journey.
