GuestKie SMS Opt-In

Each participating host uses GuestKie to send stay-related text messages under its own registered business name. A guest can request a one-time phone verification code during registration. Separately, the guest can choose non-marketing stay texts by checking an optional box that starts unchecked. Leaving that box unchecked does not prevent registration or a guest-requested verification code. Consent to stay texts is not a condition of purchase.

Participating host businesses

When a host’s branded number is approved for texting, messages from that number identify the host’s registered business. GuestKie provides the messaging platform. Brand verification alone does not mean the host’s number is approved to send texts; carrier campaign review and number assignment are separate.

These host business names have passed brand verification. A host’s number may still be waiting for campaign approval and assignment before it can send texts:

The opt-in form guests see

This is an example of the phone number field and separate stay-text checkbox on the guest registration form. The live form names the host’s registered business; its branded booking website links to a host-specific version of this disclosure. The guest requests a one-time code with a separate Send SMS Code control.

(555) 555-1234
I agree to receive non-marketing text messages from my host through GuestKie about my stay (check-in instructions, access details, stay notifications, and replies).

This optional choice is unchecked by default. You can still request a verification code without agreeing to other texts. Consent is not a condition of purchase. Message frequency varies. Message & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. We will not share your mobile information with third parties for promotional or marketing purposes. See our Privacy Policy and Terms.

The checkbox is optional and unchecked by default — guests can complete registration without opting in.

How group members are invited

The reservation holder receives a reservation-specific registration link through their booking platform’s message thread (for example, Airbnb or Vrbo). The holder invites group members by email through GuestKie or shares the link directly. A guest may request a one-time verification code when registering. Other host-originated stay texts require that guest’s own optional SMS checkbox first; GuestKie does not send a registration-link text to obtain that consent.

If someone texts a host first from a number not yet linked to a registered guest, the host may reply directly to that inquiry. That direct reply does not subscribe the sender to ongoing stay texts; STOP still stops GuestKie texts.

Noise monitoring alerts (not sent by GuestKie)

The registration form also shows a collapsible “Noise Monitoring Notice” for properties with noise monitoring. It reads:

Important Notice: Our property is equipped with a noise level monitoring system to ensure a peaceful environment for all guests and neighbors. If noise levels exceed the property’s limits during your stay, the property’s third-party noise monitoring service (such as Minut, NoiseAware, or Alertify) may contact you directly by text message or phone call at the phone number you provide, from its own phone numbers, independently of GuestKie. Those alerts come from the monitoring provider, not GuestKie, and are separate from your GuestKie text-message preference above — that preference does not affect them, and replying STOP to any GuestKie text always stops texts from GuestKie.

Those alerts originate from the third-party monitoring platform on its own numbers — they are not part of the GuestKie messaging program described on this page. GuestKie's STOP handling is unconditional for GuestKie-sent texts. This notice wording is platform-controlled: hosts may append a property-specific note below it (such as a local ordinance citation), but cannot edit or replace the notice itself.
