Paying for a reservation

[J--Christian0]

Hi, do I have to pay the full amount upfront or do I pay some of the money and the rest when I arrive?

This one is easy to find in the Help Centre, @J--Christian0, but I will give you that answers there are sometimes worded in an unhelpful way. Yes, you have to pay the full amount up front to Airbnb. Your host will not receive the payment from Airbnb until after you arrive. That is in most cases. If it is a long-term rental, there are differences and you will need to look that up. Search for "How do I pay for my long-term reservation?"

Hope this helps.

Much like an airline reservation, you pay the whole amount up front at the time of booking.

Hi,

Much the same question. I want to book a property for a month next January, do I have to pay the whole amount up front or is there a means to pay a deposit.

Best Regards,

Bob

Hi, @Robert246. Follow the link that @Cynthia-and-Chris1 give above. It covers reservations of less than 28 days and those of 28 days and more. You might have to replace the .com with .co.uk in the URL. Should work even if you don't, but just in case.

This same thing is happening to a potential guest of mine right now. Does anyone have any advice for this? Is there any way to contact Airbnb? I don't see any method of contact.
