Overview and Stay
Who uses this: any traveller on the booking, once signed in. Some cards only appear for the main guest (the person who made the booking) or only with an account/e-mail-link sign-in — each is called out below.
Guest portal overview tab
Overview
The Overview tab is the portal's landing page after sign-in. What it shows depends on how ready the booking is:
- Self check-in card — a status card with three states: Locked (something is still outstanding), Unlocked (everything is ready — the guest can check in online right now), and Done (already checked in, showing the room number). See Online check-in for what "ready" requires and what checking in does.
- Before you arrive — a task list ("{done} of {total} done") of the guest form for every traveller and any balance due, each with a direct action (Fill in, Pay). Once everything is done it simply says "Everything is ready for your arrival."
- Extend your stay — up to three extras the property has picked out for this guest, each with its product photo (or its category icon when the product has no photo, the same as on the Extras tab), and a link to the full Extras tab.
- Arrival — check-in time, whether a transfer is booked, and a "today" / "in n days" countdown.
- Your n stay with us — a history summary (stays, nights, dives, guest-since year) with a link to all past stays. Only shown to the main guest, and only when signed in with an e-mail link or account — never on a plain booking-number session (see Booking-number sign-in: what's restricted) and never for a co-traveller.
- Loyalty card — points balance and progress toward the next tier, plus an estimate of what this stay will earn — shown when the Loyalty club module is on and the program is active.
- Questions? — a shortcut into the message dialog straight to reception, with your configured response-time hint underneath.
Stay
Guest portal Stay tab
The Stay tab is the full picture of the booking itself.
| Card | Shows |
|---|---|
| Your booking | Arrival, departure, nights, number of guests, room, board, package, and rate — plus Confirmation (PDF), Request a change (opens the message dialog with the topic pre-filled), Add to calendar (downloads an .ics file), and Cancel booking where eligible. |
| Schedule | Your free-text arrival information for this property (set per language under Texts), together with the check-in time and whether a transfer is booked. |
| Fellow travellers | Every guest on the booking, who's the main guest, and whether each one's guest form is complete or still open. |
| Previous stays | Past bookings on the same account — same restriction as the Overview history summary (main guest, e-mail-link or account sign-in only). Each row links to its invoice. |
| Room | Room details for the stay. |
| Getting there | Directions text, plus a Book a transfer shortcut where transfers are offered. |
Cancelling online
Cancel booking only appears for the main guest, and only while the booking would still be free of charge to cancel — i.e. inside the free-cancellation period of the rate. There is no online option to cancel for a fee once that period has passed. If any of the following is true, the guest sees a reason instead of the button:
| Reason shown | Why |
|---|---|
| Only the main guest can cancel this booking | A co-traveller opened Stay |
| Online cancellation is not available for this booking | Cancelling online is switched off for this property |
| This booking can no longer be cancelled free of charge | Past the free-cancellation window — contact the property |
| There is an open payment on this booking | A payment is pending; contact the property to cancel |
| Cancelling online needs a sign-in via e-mail link or guest account | The guest signed in with just a booking number |
A confirmed cancellation applies immediately, the same as a staff cancellation, and cannot be undone from the portal.
See Online check-in for what unlocks the check-in card, and Guest form, Extras and Payments for the tabs linked from the task list and the extend-your-stay teaser.
