# Find a stay

> Search short-term stays by place, dates, price and party size, read a listing, and know which places you can book.

You can search and read listings without an account. Open [Short-term stays](https://app.rentiqa.com/rentals) (on a phone, **Explore**; signed out, **Discover**).

## Search

Use the search bar at the top of the page:

- **What**: words from the name, place or description.
- **Where**: a destination, or one of the popular destinations offered.
- **Check in / Check out**: one calendar. Tap your arrival day, then your departure day. Quick choices like **1 night** and **1 week** are there too.
- **Price Range**: a minimum and maximum per night.
- **Guests**: adults, children and infants. Only places that take that many guests are shown.
- **Verified hosts**: only places whose host's identity has been verified.

Press the round search button. **Clear** removes every filter; each filter also has its own ×. On a phone the search folds into one line ("Anywhere · Any dates · Add guests"); tap it to open the full search.

Results show as cards next to a map. On the map each place is a price tag; the location is approximate until you book. On a phone, the **Map** button opens the map full screen and **List** brings the cards back.

## What a card tells you

Each card shows photos, the name, the rating once guests have reviewed it, the town, bedrooms, baths and guests, the price per night it starts from, and **Available now** when it has open nights soon. The **Verified host** badge means the host's identity was checked.

The button on the right of a card tells you whether you can book:

- **Book**: you can book it now.
- **Opening soon**: short stays in that state cannot be booked on Rentiqa yet.
- **Not bookable yet**: the host has not finished setting up how they are paid.
- **Your listing**: it is your own place.

## The listing page

Tap a place's name to open its page. It has the photo gallery, the type of place, the cancellation policy (Flexible, Moderate, Strict or Non-refundable), **About this property**, **Property facts**, **Amenities**, and **Where you'll be**, a map of the area. The exact address is shared once your booking is confirmed.

The side column shows the booking card and, where they apply, a **Your host** card for a verified host (saying how their identity was verified) and the registration number the state requires. Press **Choose dates** to start [booking](https://app.rentiqa.com/help/renters/book-a-stay). The full price breakdown is shown while you book, before you pay.

## Before you choose dates

A listing page states the price it starts from, the minimum stay, and whether booking is **Instant book** or **Request to book**, under the name. Further down are the **House rules** and the **Check-in and check-out** times, on the place's own clock. **Choose dates** opens the booking pop-up on the page: its calendar shows the free nights, and the exact price for your dates, with taxes and fees, comes before you pay.

## Report a listing

If a place looks like a scam, asks you to pay outside Rentiqa, shows photos of somewhere else, or turns people away for who they are, press **Report this listing** under the cancellation policy on its page. Choose what is wrong, add anything that helps, and press **Send report**. You need to be signed in; the host is not told who reported. Rentiqa reviews every report and can take a listing down.
