guestbook

Sign-in for visitors

A guestbook is a book where visitors record their names, often with brief messages or comments.

Hotels, museums, and wedding receptions keep guestbooks.

On the early web, guestbooks were pages where site visitors could leave public comments: Sign our guestbook!

The feature has largely been replaced by social media comments and reviews.
