Why aren't guests receiving the SMS for Guest Portal OTP?

Some reasons the one-time password might not reach hosts via SMS:

  • Incorrect Phone number

  • Carrier or roaming issues where the carrier blocks this type of message

For Airbnb guests whose phone number has changed, have the guest update their phone number on Airbnb, then contact Hospitable support and we can sync that so they can receive the SMS.

When guests aren't receiving the SMS message to be able to access the Guest portal to manage their reservation, you can ask them to send over their email address within the conversation from the Inbox. Once they send the email address, our system detects that and the next time they follow the Guest portal link, they'll be presented with the option to choose from either email or SMS for the one-time password.

How can hosts resend the guest portal link?

If you need to resend the Guest Portal link to a guest, follow these simple steps:

  1. Go to the Inbox within your Hospitable account.

  2. Open the conversation with the guest.

  3. Tap the square icon next to the phrase "Guest Portal." This will copy the portal link to your clipboard.

  4. Share the copied link with the guest
