Widely used optional contact channel for confirmed accommodation, transfer, taxi and tour providers.

Pro tip: Never cancel a protected booking or accept changed payment instructions solely through chat. Verify consequential changes through the original platform.

Viber

Common local messaging option for hosts, taxi companies and small businesses that publish a Viber contact.

Pro tip: Use only a number from the booking or provider's official listing, and confirm the vehicle, total fare and payment method in writing.

Neither app is mandatory for travel, so install the one your confirmed provider actually publishes rather than assuming every business uses the same channel. For a guesthouse without a staffed reception, send the arrival time and exact booking name before travel and wait for an explicit reply. For taxis or transfers, provide the exact pickup pin, destination, passenger count and luggage needs, then ask for the vehicle details and the full price. A sent message is not a confirmed car.

Save the original reservation and a separately published phone number outside the chat. Recent travelers have reported accommodation and taxi disputes involving pressure to cancel a platform booking, pay cash or accept a changed amount. Do not cancel Booking.com, Airbnb or another protected reservation merely because a host asks in chat. Verify a changed payment link, bank account, pickup point or refund process through the original platform or an independently sourced number.

Never share a messaging registration code, banking approval, card PIN or passport scan in response to an unsolicited message. Enable two-step verification and limit automatic media downloads while roaming. If a company lists only an ordinary phone number, call it rather than searching for an unofficial chat account. In an emergency, call 112.

Commercial messaging channels are not monitored emergency services.
