MSK
The House Style

Built by people who
love hospitality.

We grew up in family-run hotels, side-hustled at boutique residences, and worked the night shift in places where everything was scribbled in a leather book. MSK Guestbook is what we wished those books could do.

Our story

From a leather book
to a living one.

In 2023, three of us — a hotelier, a designer and an engineer — sat in a Lisbon courtyard arguing about why hotel software felt like it was built for the back office, never the front desk. We sketched something different on a napkin: a guestbook for the digital age. One that knew who was at the door, who was on shift, and who was about to deliver the linens.

A year of late nights and a thousand front-desk visits later, MSK Guestbook is in the hands of 412 properties across 18 countries. It still feels like a guestbook. It just signs itself.

We’re a small team, and we like it that way. Every line of code, every shade of paper-white, every five-page flow — we sweat it. Hospitality deserves it.

Our values

Three principles
we live by.

Plain language, well chosen — because hospitality is about the small things, done well.

i.

Calm beats clever

We’d rather make the lobby quieter than make the dashboard flashier. Every interaction earns its keep.

ii.

Crafted, not configured

Every screen is sweated over. Every flow is a finished sentence. No half-built features hide behind toggles.

iii.

Small house, big standards

We’re a small team that ships like a craft house — slowly enough to get it right, often enough to keep up.

The chronicle

A short history
of a small thing.

From napkin to App Store — the milestones that mattered.

The Lisbon napkin

Three founders, one courtyard, one sketch. The first design system was a fountain pen and a guestbook.

2024

Five boutique houses in Portugal and Morocco trial the alpha. The lobby gets noticeably quieter.

2025

Multi-property control

Estate plan ships. We onboard our first hotel group across four cities.
