Step 1Find the room of your choice using the Room Search facility. Step 2To book the room you willl be required to make an online pre-payment deposit (15% of the total cost), through our secure Paypal banking system. You do not need to have a Paypal account to make the payment and we process all major credit cards. This amount will be subtracted from your payment to the host upon arrival. Step 3 Your booking is now confirmed. The host details will appear on screen and an automated email will be sent, also containing host contact details. Your deposit is non refundable should you cancel. Any cancellation made less than 7 days before arrival or no-show, is subject to a 'Late Cancellation Payment' which is equivalent to a one night stay at the accommodation. Step 4 Email or phone your host to confirm your check-in time. Step 5 In the event of any changes to your travel plans please contact Gay Homestays immediately. |
