Monday: beach hostel. Thursday: mountain cabin. Sunday: who knows?

When it comes to keeping track of your upcoming stays, the struggle is real. You find yourself digging through emails, various booking apps, and that spreadsheet or doc you made before leaving home (now impossible to read on your phone). Was it that guesthouse with the roof terrace? Or the spot your friend recommended?

It's a familiar hassle that pulls you out of the moment, right when you’d rather be soaking it all in.

We’ve heard again and again from our travelers: you want all your travel plans — especially where you’re sleeping — in one place. 

A simple solution: Stays in Polarsteps

That’s why we’re thrilled to roll out our latest feature: accommodations, now seamlessly integrated into your planned Polarsteps trip, exactly where they belong.

Now you can see your stays alongside your other travel plans and destination notes — with practical details like the number of nights and booking status visible at a glance. No more gaps in your itinerary or accidental double bookings because information was scattered across different apps.

Less admin, more adventure

Let's face it — when we’re traveling, most of us don’t want to waste time managing logistics. We’re there for the experiences, the people, the food (definitely the food).

This new feature helps by:

• Keeping track of where you're sleeping each night

• Showing what's booked and what still needs attention

• Putting this info right where you already plan your route

• Giving you one less thing to worry about

Travel Buddies can help too

Anyone remember the classic "Wait, I thought YOU booked that night?" conversation with travel companions? Not exactly fun to deal with after a long day of exploring, when all you want is a shower and bed.

Now your Travel Buddies can add and update stays in your shared trip too. More eyes on the plan = fewer hiccups, smoother sailing. Plus, when the designated planner's phone dies or gets left in a taxi (we've all been there), the pack still knows where they're headed next.

No booking yet? No problem

Whether you're booking ahead or winging it, you’ll have the freedom to plan on your terms — and still stay organized. While you’re traveling, you can easily explore accommodation options through Booking.com, Airbnb, and Hostelworld — right in the app. Choose your favorite and add it to your trip in just a few taps.

More space for what matters

When your trip plans live in one clear, tidy place, it frees up headspace for what really matters — discovering that hidden beach, finding that perfect local cafe, or simply enjoying the journey without wondering where you'll rest your head tonight. This update is part of our ongoing goal to streamline travel planning, so you can spend less time organizing and more time exploring.
