What does "Instant Booking" and "On Request" mean?
Instant Booking
These serviced apartments are available to book online 24 hours of the
day and will be instantly reserved with the apartment provider. You will
receive your booking confirmation email once your payment has been
processed.

Note: Rates and availability are
changeable for serviced apartments that are available on an “Instant
Booking” basis so you must complete your booking online in order to
secure your serviced apartment reservation.
On Request
These serviced apartments are available on a request basis and we will check the price and availability with the apartment
provider after receiving your request and then contact you to
confirm if you wish to proceed with the booking. If you accept, we will
email you a payment link to complete the booking.
If the apartment or room type you have
requested is not available we will contact you with alternative options
for your stay. No booking is made unless you instruct us to
do so.
We will contact you regarding your “On
Request” booking on the same day if you booked between 9:00 and 16:30
GMT Monday to Friday. Or the following morning, or on the following
Monday if you booked during the weekend or after 17:00 GMT on Friday. We will always aim to get back to you as soon as possible.
