Often more than one person stays under a single booking: a family, a group of friends, or coworkers traveling together. In many European countries, local regulations require you to register every guest, not just the person who booked. Add everyone staying to the reservation so all their details are in one place.
Every guest on a reservation appears in the Guests tab of the reservation page, with the person who booked labeled as the main guest.
Important:
To protect minors' data, details for guests up to age 16 are deleted 60 days after checkout. This doesn't change the reservation's guest count.
How additional guests affect the reservation
- Adding or removing guests changes the reservation's price. Editing guest details doesn't.
- The guest folio's nightly breakdown records every change to the accommodation fare. If you change the number of guests after check-in, price differences, such as VAT, appear as separate line items under the original charges.
- Only the main guest receives messages, including automated messages.
- The reservation's activity log records each guest you add or remove.
Manage guests
You can add and remove guests to and from the reservation. Adding or removing a guest will change the price of the reservation. Changing guest details won't.
