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, 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. 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 other guests directly from the reservation details in Trips by sending an invite link by SMS, 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 travel group, 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.
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 (ex: 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.
After joining, guests will appear as travelers 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, 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 canceled. You can also disable the shared link at any time from the reservation in Trips.
The number of guests can be changed for home stays and service reservations that are in progress or haven’t yet started. If you need to change your guest count, find out how to add or remove guests from your home or service reservation.
For experience reservations, the number of guests can’t be changed after the reservation is confirmed. You’ll need to either cancel and rebook or have any additional guests book a separate reservation.
