How to choose and book a home

Pick a home, check its dates, and book on its page, or ask the host a question first.

You book with the host, so you can ask anything along the way.

1. Pick a home

Each home has its own page with photos, rooms and what's there. Use the number of guests and bedrooms to narrow the list.

2. Check your dates

If the home's page shows a calendar, tap your check-in day and then your check-out day. Depending on the home, you either book and pay there or send a request that the host confirms.

3. Or ask first

Not sure which home suits your group? Send your dates and who's coming, or call, and ask the host. Ask for the total on your dates and the cancellation terms before you pay.

Tell us your week. Ask which home we'd pick.

Send your dates and who's coming. Your message goes straight to the host.
