Reading and replying to guest messages

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

Updated this week

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.
