As would be anticipated with a vacation rental reservation, hosts set & collect a lodging rate for their guests to contribute toward the accommodations expense associated with their reservation of the estate. This can be based on the per person/weekend or per suite/weekend. As host, you decide what works best for you and your guests.If you are collecting lodging payments for your guests, the payment schedule in your current invoice with us is accurate.
