How do you send a special offer to a guest?

Updated:

Website

Open the guest's booking request and click Send special offer: enter how much you want to receive for the stay, add a message and send it. JWguest adds the Service Fee on top for the guest, who can then confirm the booking instantly at the special price.

When to use it

A special offer lets you answer a request with a different price, for example for a longer stay, a family, or brothers and sisters you would like to help. You send it from the request, within the 48 hours you have to answer.

How to send a special offer

Here's a step-by-step guide:

Open the request: go to Inbox and click the pending request (1).

Inbox, a pending request

Check the time left: Expires in (1) at the top of the request shows how long you have to answer.

Reservation request, Expires in

Click Send special offer: you'll find it with the other buttons on the request page, next to Accept (1), Chat with the guest (2) and Decline (3).

Reservation request, action buttons

Check the stay and the current price: the window shows the dates, the price breakdown of the request and what you currently earn. For example: 3 nights $950, Additional Guest fee $60, Cleaning fee $29, Service Fees $145, Local taxes $104, Total (USD) $1,288; "You currently earn: $1,143".

Enter your amount (1): in Enter how much you would like to receive, type the amount you want to receive for the stay. We will automatically add the Service Fee for the guest.

Write a message and send it (2): explain your offer to the guest in a few words, then send it.

Special offer window

The guest will be able to confirm the booking instantly at the special price with Confirm & Pay. The booking is confirmed when the guest's payment succeeds.

Important: Once a guest has sent a request, you may not ask them to pay more than the price in that request. Use a special offer to lower the price, not to raise it.

Good to know

  • You receive the price you set: JWguest charges hosts no fee. The Service Fee is paid by the guest on top of your price. See Service fees for hosts.
  • Agree everything inside JWguest. Never ask the guest to pay outside JWguest, and don't share phone numbers, emails or links in the chat before the booking is confirmed.
  • You can also simply Accept, Decline or propose other dates with Change Dates. See Accept or decline a booking request.
