Booking and pricing

How do I see availability and book directly?

Choose your dates and number of guests to see live availability and the date-specific price through Hospitable. Review the quote and reservation terms before submitting.

If the final step says “Booking Request,” your stay is not confirmed yet. Wait for the Hospitable confirmation or status message before making plans around the reservation.

How much will my stay cost?
The price depends on your dates and length of stay. Use the booking page for a quote, and review the accommodation charge, cleaning fee, service fees, taxes, payment schedule, and any refundable deposit shown before submitting. Ask if anything in the quote is unclear.
Is a security deposit required?
There is no security deposit for reservations made through Booking.com. For direct bookings or other platforms, check the deposit terms shown with your specific reservation before submitting. If the terms look inconsistent, ask for clarification before booking.
Is there a minimum stay?
Minimum-stay requirements can vary by date. Select your arrival and departure dates in the booking calendar to see what is available. If your dates do not work, ask about other options.
What is the cancellation policy?
Review the cancellation terms shown for your specific reservation before booking. If you book through Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, or another channel, use the terms attached to that reservation. Contact the host through your reservation channel if you need help finding them.
