# QR codes for hotels

> Hotels should treat QR codes as a replacement for the in-room compendium: one code per service, each pointing at a page you update centrally. The WiFi code is the one guests actually want, and it belongs on the desk, not behind the door.

## In-room codes worth having

| Code | Placement |
|---|---|
| [WiFi](/wifi-qr-code) | Desk card and bedside, not the back of the door |
| Room service menu | Desk, matt tent card |
| Housekeeping requests | Inside the wardrobe |
| Local guide and directions | Desk |
| Checkout and feedback | Desk, and on the folio |

Replacing a printed compendium with codes means you update the restaurant hours once,
centrally, instead of reprinting 200 folders.

## Guest WiFi and captive portals

Most hotel networks use a captive portal for terms acceptance and room-number
authentication. A [WiFi QR code](/wifi-qr-code) joins the radio network but cannot complete
the portal. Say this on the card — "scan to join, then accept the terms in your browser" —
or guests will report the code as broken.

## Accessibility

A QR-only compendium excludes guests with low vision and those without a smartphone. Keep a
printed folder available at reception, and make the linked pages real HTML with proper
headings.

## Feedback before review

Put a private [feedback code](/feedback-qr-code) on the folio at checkout and a public
review code beside it. Both visible, guest chooses. That is not review gating, and it means
problems reach you rather than a review site.

## Multi-language

International guests are the norm. Serve the linked pages with proper `hreflang` and
language detection rather than printing one code per language — four codes on a desk card
means none get scanned.
