Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the Homestay.com booking fee cover?
The booking fee, generally around 16% of the stay price with a capped maximum, is what Homestay.com retains for facilitating and securing the reservation. It is separate from the price of the stay itself, which guests typically pay the host directly on arrival or as agreed in the host's profile.
Is the Homestay.com booking fee refundable if a guest cancels?
No. Once a guest cancels a confirmed booking, the booking fee already paid is non refundable under the platform's terms, though Homestay.com will consider a refund in exceptional circumstances at its discretion. This makes it worth reading a host's specific cancellation terms closely before confirming a reservation.
What happens to the booking fee if the host cancels instead?
If a host cancels a booking, Homestay.com refunds the booking fee paid online in full. Guests in this situation can also request help finding a comparable host with similar standards, type, and location for the same dates.
How does the deposit payment option work with some hosts?
Certain hosts require a 25% deposit of the total stay price paid in advance, on top of the booking fee, to confirm a reservation. Canceling at least 7 full days before arrival makes that deposit refundable, while canceling closer to arrival means the deposit is paid directly to the host instead.
Can a Homestay.com coupon code lower the booking fee?
Yes, active discount codes typically apply as a percentage off the booking fee rather than the price of the stay itself, since the stay price is set independently by each host. Entering a code at checkout before confirming the reservation is the only way to apply it, as codes cannot be added retroactively.
Does Homestay.com offer a referral discount?
Yes. Referring a friend who completes a booking earns a credit toward a future stay, so it is worth sharing a personal referral link before booking a first trip rather than after.
What if there is a problem with the accommodation after check in?
Guests need to contact Homestay.com support within 48 hours of the check in date to have an issue with the host or accommodation reviewed for a possible booking fee refund. Waiting longer than that window means the issue cannot be formally reviewed.
Are there seasonal discounts on Homestay.com bookings?
Discount codes appear periodically through email campaigns and site promotions rather than on a fixed seasonal calendar, since pricing for the stay itself is set by individual hosts rather than the platform. Subscribing to email updates is the most consistent way to catch a live booking fee discount.
