What are the accepted payment methods for my booking on Booking.com?
When booking through Booking.com, you have flexible payment options depending on the property's payment policy. This guide explains the accepted payment methods and how each payment option works.
Payment Options Available
Booking.com offers two main payment options for your reservation:
Pay Now
With the "Pay Now" option, you pay the full amount at the time of booking. Your payment is fully managed by Booking.com, and your payment details are secure and not shared with us. This option provides the convenience of confirming your reservation immediately with payment already processed.
When you select "Pay Now," you can use the following payment methods:
- Credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express)
- Debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express)
- PayPal
- Google Pay
Pay On Arrival
With the "Pay On (date)" option, payment is due closer to your check-in date or upon arrival at the property. We process your payment for this option. This gives you flexibility to finalize payment at a later time while securing your reservation.
When you select "Pay On Arrival," you can use the following payment methods:
- Credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express)
- Debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express)
Payment Security and Data Protection
If you selected the "Pay Now" option during the reservation process, your payment is entirely handled by Booking.com. We do not have access to your payment details, ensuring your financial information remains secure and private.
