Good to know before you book

Add your check-in and check-out times, and what happens if a guest arrives early or needs to leave late.

Add the cancellation window and any charge, in the words you want a guest to read before they book. This is the entry guests check most.

Which cards are accepted, whether a deposit or hold is taken at check-in, and how much.

A trade listing records pets up to 50 lb with a fee. Confirm the weight limit, the fee, and any restrictions — or say pets are not accepted.

Whether overnight parking is free, whether park-and-fly is offered, the nightly rate, and how a guest arranges it.

The booking system currently sells smoking rooms. State the policy plainly here — which rooms, and what happens if someone smokes in a non-smoking room.

Whether children stay free, cots or rollaway beds, and any charge.

How a guest requests an accessible room, and what to expect. Say only what is true.
