How does the booking process work? Can I choose my travellers?

You stay in control of who books, in two complementary ways. **First, you choose your booking mode**, listing by listing: **instant booking** (the guest books and pays directly) or **"Request to Book"** mode (the guest sends you a request that you **accept or decline** before any payment). **Second, selection happens mostly upfront, through your listing itself.** Before booking, the guest has access to everything you have set: accepted or declined event types (family gathering, birthday, seminar, wedding…), house rules, security deposit, per-person fee, cancellation policy, and venue constraints (neighbors, hours, noise). By booking, they agree to all of it — it's contractual. **At the time of booking**, the guest pays a booking fee that you have set, **non-refundable**. This naturally filters out serious guests from casual ones. **As soon as the booking is made**, you receive their full contact details (last name, first name, phone, email, event type, number of guests, dates). You can call them directly to get acquainted, finalize details, and share arrival instructions. This is precisely why our listing form is so detailed: the more precise your listing, the more control you keep over who books.
