The easiest way to share your precise location.
Is your property difficult to find by postcode alone? Do you have Glamping pods or pitches you’d like guests to be able to navigate directly to?
What3words is a navigation app that has simplified how we share and discuss locations. Every 3-metre square of the world has been given a unique combination of three words, which is what you use instead of a map pin.
Inn Style has integrated with what3words, putting this innovative technology at your fingertips through your Property Management System.
The integration allows you to plot your precise location, which we then output onto your emails.
How it displays to your guests
When you’re all set up, we’ll show your precise location in your guest emails, as shown below. Your unique 3-word location will be included alongside your postal address.
All the guest needs to do is click on the link provided or enter your 3-word location into their app themselves.
How to set it up on your Inn Style PMS
This is another great feature available for you to enable via The Extensions Store.
Getting set up is simple and only takes a few minutes. Visit our help guide below for step by step instructions with screenshots of where to find these settings.
As shown below, you can set your precise location for as many bookable units as you like as well.

Why shift toward what3words?
It can damage a guest’s perception of you if they get lost on the way to your accommodation. It also means they’re spending more time trying to find their destination than enjoying the experience they’ve come for.
Through what3words’ technology, travellers will spend more time where they need to be. This technology provides the precise location of your front gate, entrance or parking space – to do so, simply share the 3-word location of the space you’re providing directions to.
Some of the benefits of this technology include:
- 3-word addresses are easier to remember than postal addresses
- By dividing the planet up into 3m x 3m squares, you have a higher level of accuracy than most apps are able to provide today
- It allows people to share your location and communicate where they are with others
- It can be used in 14 languages and works offline, eliminating communication barriers with those travelling from foreign cities or countries
Enjoy this fun and effective way to share where you are with your guests!
