Each property can normally be put on hold for 48 hours before you must pay your deposit. To put a property on hold, you follow the reservations process.
To secure your booking, you pay on line following the instructions given.
If you do not pay your deposit within the 48 hour period,  you will automatically receive an e-mail confirming it is no longer on hold.
Sometimes, we will extend the period to up to 4 days when a property can be on hold, in these cases, you will have 4 days to pay the deposit and if you don't pay within 4 days, you will not receive the automated confirming that the booking has been cancelled.
