When booking through Booking.com, you have access to multiple payment methods depending on the payment option selected during your reservation. This guide explains the accepted payment methods, how they work, and what to expect for each payment scenario.

Pay Now Payment Methods

If you selected the "Pay Now" option during your booking, full payment is required at the time of reservation. Your payment is processed and managed entirely by Booking.com, which means Booking.com handles all payment information securely, and we do not have access to your payment details.

• Debit Cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express)
• PayPal
• Google Pay

Pay On Arrival Payment Methods

If you chose the "Pay On (date)" option during booking, your payment will be due closer to your check-in date or upon arrival at the property. In this scenario, we process your payment through our secure payment system.

The following payment methods are available for "Pay On Arrival" bookings:

• Credit Cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express)
