Pay 25% now and the balance later
Book your stay with 25% upfront and pay the rest closer to check-in. Eligibility, payment dates, and what happens if a payment fails.
Travel plans do not always line up with your finances. That is why we offer a flexible payment option: book your stay today by paying just 25% upfront, and settle the balance later.
Eligibility and timings
- Available for bookings with check-in up to 6 months in the future. If your stay is further out, you can still book now by paying in full.
- The remaining balance is due 1 month before check-in, or at least 7 days before arrival, whichever comes first.
- We attempt to collect the balance automatically on the due date.
- If the automatic charge fails, we email you a secure checkout link and our team follows up to help you complete the payment.
- You can also pay the remaining balance earlier if you prefer.
Security and peace of mind
- All transactions are processed through Stripe, so payments are encrypted, secure and compliant.
- You are told the exact amounts and due dates when you book, so there are no surprises.
- If a payment fails and you cannot complete it in time, our team will contact you to find a solution, whether that is an extension, an alternative payment or a rearrangement.
- If payment is not made by the deadline without an agreement, the booking may be cancelled and the 25% deposit may not be refunded. See the guest cancellation policy for details, and refunds and how long they take for how a refund on a staged payment is worked out.
Why this option works well
- More flexibility: you do not have to pay everything at once.
- Lock in rates early: secure your stay before prices rise.
- Budget-friendly: especially useful for longer-term planning or managing cash flow.
- Transparent and safe: all terms are shown clearly and Stripe handles the security.
Important conditions
- This option is not available for very short-notice bookings, such as a check-in within a few days. Those require full payment at the time of booking.
- All amounts, due dates and conditions are provided at checkout.
- Late payment without a prior agreement may result in cancellation under our cancellation policy.
- You can always pay the balance early to avoid any complications.
Staying safe when you pay
For your security, all payments must be completed through Flexiestays. We never ask for cash or offline transfers. Paying through our secure Stripe checkout keeps your booking and your details protected.
