The guest app that turns strangers into friends
Guests get their own app: see who else is staying, join what is on that week, and discover other Travel404 properties they can book directly — before they even say hello in person.

Who’s staying
See who’s actually at the hostel tonight
Guests browse verified profiles of who’s checked in right now, plus travelers in town this week — where they’re from, how long they’re around. A follow is one-way, a connect is mutual, and requests are handled right in the app.
- Checked-in guests, tonight
- Verified profiles only
- Follow or connect — their call
- Requests handled in-app

My Stay
Their stay, in their pocket
Guests post photos and updates, like and comment, and get a colored ring around their avatar based on their traveler type. Every profile carries a report-or-block tool, so it stays a place people actually want to be.
- Dates, bed and balance at a glance
- Their booking without an email hunt
- Activities they can join
- Verified profile, their own control
-
Explore
Discover the next Travel404 property — and book it
A browse-first Explore tab: search by city, filter by type, and book a stay at any other Travel404 property directly in the app — the same booking engine, no separate site. A curated places directory covers what’s around the corner.
- Search & book other properties
- Filter by city or property type
- Curated local places directory

Common questions
Do guests need to download a separate app for this?
No — it’s the same Travel404 app they already use to check availability and manage their booking. Guest features unlock once they’re checked in.
Is this safe? Are guests exposed to strangers?
Profiles are verified, and every post and profile has a report-or-block tool built in. Guests choose whether to follow, connect, or ignore.
Can guests book other Travel404 properties from inside the app?
Yes — Explore lets them search other cities and book directly, through the same booking engine your own front desk uses.
Does this replace the hostel’s WhatsApp group?
It removes the need for one. The activities and who’s-staying screens give guests a reason to connect inside the app instead of a group chat you have to moderate.
