Paying for your stay
How payment works, what we hold and when the host gets paid.
You pay on Bookalizer when you book. We hold the money until your check-in date, then send it to the host.
What you pay
- The price for your nights, plus any cleaning fee or extra-guest charges the host sets.
- Our service fee, which covers payment processing and guest support. It's always shown before you pay.
- Any local tourist tax that applies, where the host collects it on behalf of the city.
How to pay
- Debit or credit card, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
- We never ask for bank transfers, gift cards or crypto. If anyone asks you to pay outside Bookalizer, don't.
When the host is paid
- We send the money to the host 24 hours after your check-in.
- If you cancel within the host's policy, or the host cancels, we refund you in full.
Your receipt
- You'll get a receipt by email for every payment, and you can download them from your trips page.
