How do I know who are the guests travelling

[Allison696]

As a host once the booking is made how do I know who are the guests travelling?

Do I request for ID proof?

That also depends on your local policy, @Allison696 . We are requested to check our guests' ID, note the details in dedicated forms and keep them for 12 months.

Thank you for your reply.

I also had another question. After the guest has made a reservation there is an option that says pay money or request money. What is this for??

@Allison696 I thought it was a legal requirement in India for you to collect ID from guests ?

the option to request money is for additional services or damage 

do have a look at the Airbnb Help website it has FAQs about most aspects of managing your STR business on Airbnb
