Why do larger properties have stricter reservation, payment & cancellation policies?

Larger properties booked for family or group gatherings usually require stricter policies.

Owners or managers often require:

  • A larger reservation deposit due (50% or more due at reservation date)
  • An earlier balance payment due date before the arrival date (90-60 days before arrival)
  • And stricter cancellation policies


Rebooking larger properties often requires more effort for owners/managers compared to smaller properties.

At Houfy as an owner/manager you can set your own policies:
