How Our Reservation System Works
A prospective guest enquires via the site as regards availability of a particular property for a particular date. We liaise with the enquirer and the owner to agree a reservation or not.
Once agreed the guest pays the non refundable cost of the booking to Henley Short Stays to secure the reservation. We hold 100% of the guest payment in a client account until 2 days after the guest arrives. We then pay the property owner 95% of of the guest payment and retain the 5% commission.
If the guest arrival is more than 2 months in the future, once the reservation is agreed the guest pays a non refundable deposit of 10% to Henley Short Stays to secure the reservation. The guest pays the non refundable balance of 90% two weeks before arrival. We hold 100% of the guest payment in a client account until 2 days after the guest arrives. We then pay the property owner 95% of of the guest payment and retain the 5% commission.
Reservations of more than 28 days can be split with payments every 28 days.
After a property owner has completed 3 successful reservations (and a gross booking value in excess of £2,000) with us, then they gain trusted host status and can carry out direct negotiations with prospective guests, just advising us of the agreement made.
Note
All guest payments are non refundable. If the property owner fails to provide the property as agreed for a particular reservation the guest is entitled to a 10% refund. Guest can pay an insurance premium of 5% of any payments to cover that payment for cancellation insurance if they need to cancel a reservation at any time until 24 hours before arrival. There are no exclusions to the policy.
Deposit percentages may increase for high demand event weeks, such as Henley Regatta and Henley Festival.
