Useful Information - Hosts and Guests


  • Both requested and accepted bookings can be edited.

          Note: If the booking is accepted but the Host's requested changes are not accepted by the Guest, either party             is within their rights to cancel the booking without penalty.


  • Currently only Hosts can override the automatically calculated price for a booking. Guests wishing to request a price different to that calculated would need to contact the Host asking them to make the requested changes themselves.


  • If the total fee is increased, the Guest is required to pay the additional deposit at the time of requesting or accepting a change.


  • Requested changes expire after 24 hours without a response

    • Room
    • Number of Guests
    • Check-in/Check-out date
    • Price
