Booking & payments: deposit and balance
How to book a property, pay, the required deposit, and on-arrival payments.
Last updated: 28 May 2026
Every booking on GoDiyar happens fully inside the platform so the listing's cancellation policy and our support apply. This article walks through the steps and available payment methods.
1.How to confirm a booking
- Pick your dates and guest count on the property page.
- Availability for your dates shows instantly, then tap "Request to book".
- Enter your details (name and phone) and choose a payment method.
- No charge now: once availability is confirmed we arrange the deposit to secure your booking.
2.Deposit and remaining balance
The deposit is part of your total, not an extra charge. It locks in your booking; the remaining balance is paid at check-in or as agreed on-platform.
3.Available payment methods
- Cash on arrival (for the deposit or full amount, per host setting).
- Bank transfer before arrival: account details sent after confirmation.
- Credit card, CliQ, and e-wallet: coming soon.
