Direct Booking

HereStays is an innovative platform that allows travelers to book directly with the host without paying fees commonly associated with large travel sites. This can save customers hundreds of dollars they would otherwise spend at booking Websites and apps!

Inquiries

Guests will submit an inquiry on your HereStays property listing page(s). These inquiries are sent to you via email, and you can also access them in your account dashboard. There are instructions in the email and dashboard messaging that provide the instructions needed to reply to guests. Additionally, as a host you can set up text message notifications, this is a setting in the host profile page. Your cell carrier may charge fees for notifications. 

You can set up your host account to send you text messages when you have a new guest inquiry. Go to the Host Dashboard, click on the Settings tab, and add your details in the SMS Messaging setting. The text messages serve as alerts only, to respond to the inquiry you would either do so by email or Host Dashboard.
