Diane is such a wonderful host. In fact the relationship we had (and still have) was more of a mother-daughter relationship. She takes genuine care of her guests. My fiancé was with me the first two weeks of our stay and She always went an extra mile whenever I needed help. I just recently moved to Cape Town and desperately needed to find an accommodation. I was struggling to find one and Diane kindly agreed to extend my stay for a month until I could find my feet. As I type this now I am staying at a Bachelor's that Diane helped me find. She knew about my situation and as her friend was preparing to rent out a room , Diane was more than happy to gave me an outstanding referral. She did for me everything a mother would do for her daughter :)
How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
