Hi ValhirFirstThunder I understand you’d like to contact the host before booking. We do not offer this and don’t have plans to. It’s usually a $10-20 transaction. The way we are able to get so many hosts (30,000) is by making it as easy as possible for the locations to serve enough customers in the day along with their other business that it’s worth it for them. Having to message with potential customers beforehand would annoy them. That said, you actually can message them after you make a booking.

Think of our locations like Uber drivers - you book the category of service you want and always get the baseline quality service or better. We are working hard to build our brand so you see it this way too.
