Booking your stay is a crucial part of planning your trip, and now, doing so in the Polarsteps app is easier than ever!

How to book and add accommodation:

Simply open the planned step in your trip and tap ‘+ Add or find a stay’.

• • If you still need to book your stay, we’ve got you covered! Find your perfect accommodation via Booking.com, Airbnb, or Hostelworld. Simply tap on your preferred booking platform to be redirected - the location and dates that correspond to your planned step will be automatically filled out! 
    • Please note: Once you complete your booking, the accommodation is not automatically added to the Polarsteps app. So, don’t forget to add it to the planned step in your trip once you’ve booked!
  • Once your stay is booked, search for it or add a custom location. Some information will be prefilled depending on if you select an accommodation, or create your own. Then, tap 'Add to travel plan' to see this information in your planned step! 

Can I add more than one stay to a planned step?

You certainly can! You can even choose the status of these accommodations in the app; are they already booked, pending, cancelled, or maybe you just want to save them for later.

The place I am staying doesn’t appear in the search (or I am staying with a friend/family member and I want to add this information to my planned step):

No worries, in this case you can manually add an accommodation if it does not appear in the search (or if you are staying with a friend or family member)

Can my Travel Buddies edit this information?

They sure can! Just make sure they are successfully added to the trip and have accepted the invitation. Then, they’ll be able to contribute to planning the trip and organizing accommodation.
