This pioneering feature is initially rolling out to US hosts with approved listings, as we anticipate introducing more enhancements in the near future.

What's New?
For the first time ever, you can make a booking on Hostshare. Reminder that you can only book "last minute stays" which are stays only available within the next 5 days (aka the booking window).

• Discover and Book: Seamlessly search for properties, choose dates, and book your stay.
• Free Night Stays: Utilize the free nights credited to your account for each approved listing.
• Notifications: Email notification system ensure everyone involved in a booking is informed and connected for smooth check-in and checkout arrangements.
• Manage Your Bookings: Both travelers and hosts now have the ability to view and manage booked trips and upcoming bookings, respectively.
• Search Filters: Now filter your searches only to show you listings that are available to book within the next 5 days.
• Admin Side Enhancements: We've upgraded our admin tools to better facilitate transactions and support our community during this early phase. These improvements allow us to more effectively assist with bookings, ensuring a smooth experience for both hosts and travelers.

Upcoming Features:

As we celebrate this initial rollout, we appreciate your patience and feedback. We're committed to refining and expanding our booking system with more features very soon:

• Flexible Cancellation Policy: Currently set to a strict 24-hour window, we're looking to offer customizable options soon.
