Guest community app & activities All plans
What your guests get on their phone: who is here tonight, activities with their own chat, city rooms, people, the world map and XP. And how you run activities from the hosting side.

What it is
Travel 404 is also a free app for travelers (App Store and Google Play, 18+). A guest who books with you and creates an account with the same email sees their stay, the other guests in the house, the activities you post, and the city around them. It is the part no other PMS has, and it is included in every plan.
Tonight, People and the map
People shows verified guests at the house tonight (verified = they have a booking with you), people in the city this week, and travelers nearby who share their location, without precise positions. Guests can follow each other, send a friend request and chat. Platform staff and your team are marked "Part of the team".
Activities
Host side: Operations›Activities. Create an activity with date, time, place, photo, capacity, price for guests and for visitors, and whether it is public (anyone in the app can see it) or for your guests only. Repeat it weekly. Paid activities are charged to the guest's booking at signup, arrived or not (Pro).
Times are always the property's own clock. A guest reading the program from another country, or with their phone still on home time, sees the same date and hour as the team on site; the day grouping (Tonight, Tomorrow, the week) follows the property's day too.
Guest side: each activity has its own chat; joining it is joining the chat. Guests see their house's activities on the Activities tab and every public activity in the app under Messages › Activities, one list by date.
Inviting people who are not guests
Every activity has an invite link. Sharing it from the phone opens the normal share sheet (WhatsApp, Messages, anything). The link opens publicly: the person sees the activity, the date and the price, and signs up or declines; only joining needs an account. A guest of another house can be invited the same way.
Messages: house rooms, city rooms, groups
Messages holds, in this order: your hostels (one room per house the guest is staying at), the Activities bundle, Plans, Groups and People. City rooms (for example "Oaxaca") are open to anyone in that city; the unread badge on the Chat tab counts house rooms and chats, not city rooms.
World map, XP and levels Complete plan
Explore itself (every hostel and coliving on Travel 404 with a Book button that opens your booking page inside the app) is in every plan. The map shows where travelers have been and who is live in each city; a guest's own journey grows a world map and a level with XP for check-ins, activities and reviews (Complete).
Profiles and handles
Every traveler has a public handle (travel404.com/u/handle) and chooses what strangers can see. Handles are editable from Profile › Edit profile and checked live for availability.
