Can I use a digital booking confirmation at hotel check-in?
Yes - almost all hotels accept a digital trip1 booking confirmation on your phone at check-in. A printed copy is rarely required but handy as backup.

What hotels actually need to check you in
Modern hotels run their check-in from a property management system that already has your reservation in it - sent over by trip1 the moment your crypto payment settled. The front desk doesn't need a paper copy to find your booking. They just need:
- Your guest name.
- A valid government-issued photo ID.
- Your trip1 booking reference, which speeds up the lookup.
Showing the booking confirmation on your phone is the easiest way to give the receptionist your reference. Open the email, show the screen, and you're done.
How to access your trip1 booking confirmation
trip1 sends your booking voucher to the email address you used at checkout. It contains the booking reference, hotel name and address, check-in and check-out dates, room details, and the guest name.
If you signed up for a trip1 account, you'll also find every confirmation under the My Bookings section once you log in. The voucher is available there for re-download any time before or during your stay.
When a printed copy is still a good idea
Printed copies are rarely required, but they save you in a few specific scenarios:
- Your phone runs out of battery before you reach the hotel.
- You have no cell signal or Wi-Fi at the property and your email isn't downloaded for offline use.
- You're traveling somewhere with strict immigration controls that ask for printed accommodation proof on arrival.
If you can't print, downloading the trip1 voucher as a PDF and saving it offline on your phone covers most situations just as well.
Digital booking confirmation at hotel check-in - FAQ
trip1 sends your booking voucher to the email address you used at checkout. It shows the booking reference, hotel name and address, check-in and check-out dates, room details and guest name. If you have a trip1 account, every confirmation is also under My Bookings, where you can download the voucher again at any time before or during your stay.
Look for the trip1 voucher in the email you used at checkout, or under My Bookings if you have a trip1 account. trip1 sends the reservation to the hotel's own system the moment your crypto payment settles, so the voucher with your booking reference is your confirmation. Showing that reference at the desk lets staff find the booking quickly.
First check that you are looking in the inbox you used at trip1 checkout, including spam or promotions folders. If you signed up for a trip1 account, log in and open My Bookings, where every confirmation is stored and the voucher can be downloaded again. Save it as a PDF or screenshot once you have it.
A trip1 confirmation is a booking voucher sent by email. It lists your booking reference, the hotel name and address, check-in and check-out dates, room details and the guest name. The booking reference is the most useful part at the desk, because it speeds up the lookup in the hotel's system.
Yes. Most hotels accept the digital trip1 confirmation on your phone. The front desk only needs your guest name, a valid government-issued photo ID and your booking reference, so showing the email or PDF on screen is enough. Save a screenshot or PDF in case there is no signal or Wi-Fi at the hotel.
Usually not, but a printed copy is a useful backup. It helps if your phone battery dies, if there is no signal or Wi-Fi and your email is not saved offline, or if border officials at your destination ask for printed proof of accommodation. If you cannot print, download the trip1 voucher as a PDF and keep it offline on your phone.
