When does Booking get the money?

Booking.com offers a variety of payment options, which may vary depending on the hotel and the type of reservation. Some properties require prepayment through Booking.com at the time of booking, while others allow payment upon arrival or departure from the hotel.

If you pay through Booking.com, the platform may charge your credit card immediately after booking if the rate is non-refundable or shortly before the arrival date if the rate allows free cancellation up to a certain date. Alternatively, if the property requires payment at the property, you may need to provide credit card details to guarantee the reservation, but the actual payment will be made directly to the hotel at check-in or check-out.

It is essential to carefully read the payment conditions indicated for each reservation on Booking.com to understand when and how the payment will be charged.
