Everything you need to know before your first YoStays booking
Getting started
What is YoStays?›
YoStays is a marketplace for curated stays hosted by verified local hosts. Guests can browse homes, compare details, book online, message hosts, and manage trip support in one place.
How do I create a guest account?›
Choose Get the app or sign up on the website, enter your email or phone number, verify your contact details, and complete your profile before booking.
Do I need to verify my identity before booking?›
Some bookings require ID verification before confirmation. Verification helps protect guests, hosts, and the YoStays marketplace.
Can I browse without an account?›
Yes. You can browse listings without an account, but you need an account to save stays, contact hosts, book, pay, or request support.
Finding a stay
How do I search for a stay?›
Enter your destination, dates, and guest count, then use filters such as price, property type, amenities, cancellation policy, and neighborhood.
What does a verified stay mean?›
A verified stay has passed YoStays checks for listing completeness, host identity, and core property details. Verification does not replace your own review of the listing and house rules.
How do I know if a stay is available?›
Availability is shown on the listing calendar. A booking is only secured after checkout is completed and you receive confirmation.
