Stay Links and Guest Account Access

A Unique Link for Every Stay

Every stay has its own unique link, whether it was booked through Kabora, booked directly with the host, or manually added by the host.

When you are signed in, you can access the same page from Trips → Arrival details and guidebook.

Who the Link Opens For

On a stay booked through Kabora or directly with the host, the link opens only for the people on the booking, signed in: you, anyone who has joined your trip, and, on a company trip, its coordinators.

Anyone else sees Sign in to see your trip, with the email address the booking was made with partly hidden, and nothing of the stay: not the place, not the dates, not your name. If you are signed in to another account, the page names that account and offers Sign in as somebody else. If your address is not verified yet, it offers to email you a link to verify it.

Once it opens, the page shows:

• Stay basics: The check-in and checkout times, photos, amenities, and the house rules.
• Address: The exact street appears once the stay is booked, or earlier where the host allows it. Before that, the page shows the town.
• Arrival notes: Your host's notes on getting in and parking, once the stay is booked.

Who Sees the Door Code and the Money

• Door code and Wi-Fi: These are for the people on the booking: you, and anyone who has joined your trip. They appear three days before you arrive and are removed when you check out.
• Payment details: These are for the person who booked. They cover what you have paid, what has been refunded, what is still owed, the Pay button, the receipt, and your cancellation terms.

Add to calendar does not appear on this page. The stay is offered as a calendar file that works in Apple, Google, Outlook and other calendars. Its only button is in your trip, so you must be signed in to reach it.

Manually Created Stays

For a stay your host entered manually, the link is long and cannot be easily guessed, and it opens the payment details and the rest of the page to anyone who holds it. This is because the guest may have no account.

The Door code and Wi-Fi details still require a signed-in person on the booking:

• The guest: Signed in with their account, or with the email address associated with the booking.
• A companion: A person who is still on the trip.

Guests who do not have a Kabora account can sign in using a verification code sent to their email address. When you are signed out, the page says this where the code would be and offers a sign-in link.

Sharing the Link

On a stay you booked yourself, the link opens for nobody who is not on the booking, so forwarding it shows them nothing. To bring someone else in, invite them to the trip.

On a stay your host entered manually, the link shows the page and the payment details to whoever holds it, so do not post it anywhere public. When you are signed in, your trip has a Copy button for the link.

Saving a Stay Without an Account

If you open the link of a stay your host entered manually and it is not yet saved to your account, the page offers a Keep this trip option. Select Sign in to save it to sign in and return to the same stay afterward.

Signing In and Verifying Your Booking

Sign in using the email address associated with your booking. Kabora sends a verification code to that address to confirm that you own it.

Once verified, the stay appears in your trips, along with any other bookings associated with that email address that have not already been saved to another account.

Protecting Booking Privacy

If you sign in with an email address that does not match the booking, Kabora denies access and tells you which email address the booking is associated with, partly hidden.

This protects guest privacy: a shareable stay link should provide access to the intended stay without exposing another person's booking history.

Each stay can belong to only one account. If a stay has already been saved to another account, it remains associated with that account and cannot be claimed by a different one.

Stays Without a Kabora Page

A booking made on another site, such as Airbnb, Vrbo or Booking.com, has no stay page on Kabora. Nights that reached your host through a calendar link have none either. For these stays, the address opens a page that is not found. Your arrival details are with the site where you booked, or with your host.
