International Guests
How to Explain Directions to International Guests
Direct answer
Directions for international guests should combine the official local-language address, a copy action, an accurate map destination, key routes from likely arrival points, a visible building landmark, and the final walking steps. Transit, construction, time, and fare information can change, so ask guests to confirm current conditions before departure.

- Provide the official Korean address, an English companion, and one matching map destination.
- Explain the final walking route with visible landmarks and ordered actions.
- Mark travel time, fare, and service as changeable and direct guests to current information.
What belongs at the top of a directions page?
Lead with the destination a guest can use in a map or taxi. Keep the property name, official Korean address, English companion, copy action, and accurate map pin in one card.
How should routes be written for different arrival points?
Choose the airports, stations, or terminals that match real bookings instead of listing every possible route. Include the transfer, stop, exit, and final walking segment, while leaving live operating details to the current provider.
- Transit: line, transfer, stop, and exit
- Taxi: a Korean address card for the driver
- Driving: the real parking entrance and conditions
- Changeable details: a prompt to verify current map and operator information
How should landmark photos be made?
Photograph the exterior and correct entrance from the direction a guest will approach. Write the next action below the photo, and check that no access code, neighboring unit number, license plate, or recognizable face is visible.
When should directions be reviewed again?
Review the guide after exit construction, stop-name changes, a new building sign, parking changes, or a map-pin correction. Walk the final route periodically or ask a first-time visitor to find the entrance using only the mobile guide.
How to apply this in stayV Host
Arrange the official address, map link, landmark images, and arrival steps in stayV Arrival cards in the same order a guest travels.
Follow the property's L0 or L1 location policy and review every image and caption for a live entry credential.
Frequently asked questions
Is an English address enough in Korea?
A taxi driver or local map may work better with the official Korean address. Make that address copyable and provide the English form and map destination as companions.
Should a host recommend only one airport route?
Offer a small number of realistic choices, such as transit and taxi, without guaranteeing a fixed travel time or fare. Ask guests to check current service on their arrival date.
Should the exact address appear in public Host Resources?
No. Host Resources should explain the method. Put a real property's exact address only in its guest guide under the configured booking and release policy.
