Pay for a monthly stay

Planning to stay awhile? Fantastic. Here's how payments work for reservations of 28 nights or more:

1. First-month payment: You'll be charged this up front, but we’ll hold off on releasing it to the Host until 24 hours after check-in
2. Monthly instalments: For reservations longer than a month, we will charge guests 10 days in advance for each payment period after the first payment

Your monthly price is locked in at the beginning of the reservation, and you can track your payment details in your Trips tab or your booking confirmation email.

Cancellation

The long-term cancellation policy is automatically applied to all reservations of 28 nights or more and generally requires a 30-day notice of changes to the reservation.

Making early payments for monthly instalments

While it’s not required, you always have the option to pay upcoming monthly instalments a little early, as long as it’s within 7 days before your payment is due.

For example, if your payment is due on 11 July, you’ll be able to pay as early as 4 July at 12am UTC.
