Contacting a Host without booking a reservation

If you've read the listing details and you still have questions, you can message a Host to ask about availability, amenities, your specific needs, etc.

Go to the listing and click or tap Contact Host to send a message. Pro tip: If you want to ask about specific reservation details, enter the dates and number of guests for your trip before hitting Contact Host. 

For your safety and privacy, we don’t share you or your Host’s email or phone number before you have a confirmed reservation.
