How a special offer works
How a special offer works
Let’s say you contact a host about their place before requesting to book it. To secure the reservation, the host might send you a special offer, which is when they choose a custom price (or other details) and invite you to book. You’ll have 24 hours to accept the special offer before it expires.
Keep in mind that changing the dates, number of guests, etc. may invalidate the special offer and result in different pricing.

The special offer will be for the nightly rate, cleaning fees, and any extra guest fees, but it doesn’t include taxes, the service fee, or the security deposit (only certain hosts can charge a security deposit). You will get a detailed breakdown of the price before you finalize the booking.
