Do you ask for a down payment? Point it out on your presentation page

Bed & breakfast down payment

A down payment raises the threshold to cancel the reservation.

Many B&B owners ask their guests for an advance payment. It limits the chances that guests will cancel their stay in your bed & breakfast for no reason. From now on, you can set the amount of down payment per room on your presentation page.

Entering down payment conditions

Step 1: In the owner service, go to ‘My Listing’ and in the drop-down menu click ‘Rooms’.  Click ‘Adjust’ at one of the rooms to change the conditions.

Step 2: Scroll down the page until you reach the ‘Down payment’ header. Here, you can choose between two down payment options:

  1. Down payment: yes. […] day/days before the arrival date at the latest, […] % of the price of your stay will be charged.
  2. Advance payment: not required.

If you choose option 1, then fill in the down payment term of your choice and the down payment percentage. For example:

Step 3: At the bottom of the page, click ‘Save’.
