Reading and replying to guest messages

Learn how to read guest conversations and reply to messages from booking platforms and direct channels.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Guest Messages lets you read and reply to conversations from all supported channels in one place.

Each conversation shows the full message history with a guest, so you always have context before replying.

Reading messages

When you open a conversation, you can see:

  • The guest’s messages

  • The related listing

  • The related booking, if one exists

This helps you quickly understand who the guest is and what their message is about.

Replying to guests

To reply to a guest:

  • Open the conversation

  • Type your response

  • Send the message

Your reply is sent back through the same channel the guest used, whether it’s a booking platform or a direct channel like WhatsApp or email.

Using messages day to day

You’ll typically use Guest Messages to:

  • Answer questions before a stay

  • Coordinate check-in or check-out

  • Follow up during or after a stay

All replies remain stored in the conversation history for future reference.

What to do next

If a guest contacts you through a direct channel without an existing booking, you can create an offline booking from that conversation. This is explained in Creating a booking from a conversation.

For automated replies, check the Automation section of the Help Center.
