One of the most important things you'll probably add to your trip is your accommodation—whether it's an Airbnb, hostel, resort, hotel, or even a humble cot. Whatever your stay looks like, add it to Pilot to keep everything organized and easy to find when you need it!

To add an accommodation to your trip:

Just click the “Add Accommodation” button under a city section. If you haven’t added a city yet, this option won’t appear.

Not sure where you're staying yet? No problem—hit the “Search Deals” button instead to browse hotel options on our Explore page and book directly in the app!

Alternatively, you can add a Stay by clicking on the bed icon in the bottom bar, or simply pressing S on your keyboard! An Accommodation section will automatically open up in the location section selected on the left of the bottom bar.

From there, you can either start typing the name of the place you'll be staying at or type in a direct address.

Select the option that best suits you from the pop-up below, and you'll see it reflected on the map as a map pin.

Add More Details to Your Accommodations


Within the accommodation sections, you can use the notes boxes below to type any relevant information for you or your trip mates. Use the files icon to attach files, such as PDFs, to your accommodation.

The little date icon at the bottom right will be very helpful in including check-in and check-out times for your accommodation, whether you’ll be staying at an Airbnb, a hotel, or a hostel.

The next icon is the dollar sign. Here you can enter your accommodation cost per night in the currency you'd like. Please note that at this time, Pilot does not auto-convert currency values.

The final icon will let you add a link to whatever relevant website or page you want to keep attached to your stay.

You can easily add another accommodation to a city by pressing the “+Accommodation” option (or the S key) and following the same steps above.
