Using your stay page
How to use the guide your host gave you, and how booking works if you’re reserving dates directly.
Opening your guide
Your host gives you a link, or a QR code to scan on arrival. It opens a single page with everything for your stay - no app to download, no account to make.
The chips along the top (WiFi, Check-in, Rules, Local...) jump you to each part. The Need help? button lists ways to reach your host and local emergency numbers.
Getting connected and getting in
- WiFi - tap the copy icon to copy the network name or password, or tap Show QR to join and scan it to connect without typing.
- Check-in - your arrival time, the door code (tap Copy door code), how to get in, and parking. If the entrance is tricky there’s a How to get there set of photos - tap any to enlarge.
- Stuck getting in? The check-in card has a See the FAQs link.
During your stay
- House rules, Amenities, and FAQs answer the common questions.
- Local Tips - nearby restaurants, coffee, shops, and sights. Tap a category pill to filter, and use Open in Google Maps or How to get there on any place.
- Checkout has your departure time, how to reach your host, and a Before you go checklist you can tick off.
- Leave feedback sends a quick note and rating to your host.
Booking dates (direct booking)
If your host takes direct bookings you’ll see a Book button. Sending a request holds your dates right away - you then confirm by paying a deposit to your host directly:
- Pick your dates. Unavailable nights are greyed out. Choose check-in and check-out (there may be a minimum number of nights) and set the number of guests.
- Review the price. You’ll see the nightly total, cleaning fee, and your stay total. If your host takes a deposit, it’s shown as the amount to confirm your dates, with the balance due on arrival. No payment is taken online.
- Your details. Name, email, and mobile, plus anything they should know. Your reference and updates come by email.
- Send the request. Tick the terms box and send. Your dates are held for you from that moment, for a window your host sets (and never past your check-in day). You get a reference code like
YS-XXXXXX, also emailed to you.
After you request
- Pay the deposit to your host directly- bank transfer, GCash, or cash - quoting your reference. If your host takes no deposit, they’ll confirm your dates and arrange payment with you. Nothing is charged online.
- Your host confirms once the deposit lands. Your dates are then locked in and your house guide link arrives by email. The balance, if any, is due on arrival.
- If the deposit isn’t paid before the hold window ends, your dates are released and open up again - just send a new request.
- Open your booking link any time to check the status of your stay. Updates and reminders arrive by email.
