How can we help?

Native Hodlstay stays currently use BTCPay checkout after the host accepts your request. BTCPay handles the available bitcoin payment options for that invoice. Native USDC and card checkout are planned, not live yet; partner hotel bookings use the partner hotel checkout flow.

Native Hodlstay stays are request-to-book today. You send your dates to the host first, they accept or decline, and you're only asked to pay once they accept. Instant book is planned but not live for native stays yet. See the full booking flow →

Paid native bookings appear in Trips. Public listing pages keep sensitive location and contact details limited; exact address, host phone or email, and check-in instruction unlocks are planned for a fuller booking detail flow.
