Make a Reservation
There are a few ways to reserve spaces on Inout Homestay. Some hosts want to ask a few questions about you before they confirm a reservation while others prefer to manage requests by using Inout Homestay Instant Book feature.
We display images of listings, host profiles & reviews to help you make a secure and confident choice. We've also created search filters so you can narrow your results by type of accommodation, price, and location.
You can request to book a host's space by clicking the Contact Host or Request to Reserve buttons, or you can use Instant Book to confirm your stay without having to wait for a host's approval.
Payment & Confirmation
Once You make a successful payment to reserve a listing, we sends a reservation request to the host for the specific trip dates you select. The host has the option to either accept or decline the request, or ask you questions about your trip before making a decision. When a host responds to your request, we send you an email to let you know. If they don't respond with in 5 days or your intended date has passed, then your request simply expires.
If the host rejects your request then the payment you have made will be refunded or added to your credit account balance so that when you book the next time you make a payment you will get the reduction of credit balance. The Instant Book button immediately confirms your reservation and closes the host's calendar to other incoming requests. We send you a receipt by email with your trip's details, and your host may follow up with you, too.
