You’re all booked! Before you begin your trip and stay in a home, or take part in a service or experience, it’d be a good idea to give guests in your travel group access to your reservation.
When your guests join your reservation, they can access the reservation details, review group messages, share their profile, share saved map pins and stay in touch with you and the group on Airbnb after the trip through Connections and messaging.
Inviting guests to join or joining a reservation is optional. As detailed below, the information shared varies based on the type of reservation: homes, services or experiences. If you prefer not to share your profile with other guests and remain connected on Airbnb afterwards, you don’t have to. You can always review and update your profile to make sure that you show up how you want to for your connections, hosts and other guests on Airbnb.
When invited guests join an experience reservation, they have a choice to share their profile with other guests outside of their travel group on the experience just like the primary booking guest. If they choose to share their profile they will appear on the public and post-booking Who’s going guest list for the experience.
Once your reservation is confirmed, you can invite guests to join your travel group directly from the reservation details in Trips by sending an invite link by text message, email, WhatsApp, Messenger, WeChat and more.
To accept the invitation, your guests will need to log in to their Airbnb account or create one, if they don't already have one.
After joining your reservation, guests will have access to information such as:
Home stays: Check-in details, including the address of the host’s place and check-in instructions, as well as any saved map pins.
Services: Info including details about the booked service and the host’s background.
Experiences: Helpful info about the experience, like the duration of the experience and what they should bring or wear (e.g. comfortable shoes), and the list of other guests going on the experience (who have chosen to share their profile).
Guests on the reservation will also get access to all past and future messages with your host, and can read and send messages to the host and everyone else in the group conversation.
Guests you’ve invited will also have access to any places of interest you’ve pinned for the reservation, and the map for that reservation in Trips. They will also share their own map pins and can add more to the map.
After joining, guests will appear as travellers on the reservation and everyone on the reservation will be able to view each other's profiles, as Connections. Guests can remove themselves from the reservation, or be removed by the booker, before a trip ends. Learn more about how to stay in touch with Connections.
Invitations to join a reservation expire at checkout for home stays, upon completion of a service or experience, or if the reservation is cancelled. You can also disable the shared link at any time from the reservation in Trips.
