Some properties on Coolstays provide live pricing and availability, which means you can check your dates instantly and book straight away via the owner’s own booking system.
Other properties don’t use live pricing. In these cases, you’ll see a “Request to book” button instead. This lets you send an enquiry to the owner, who will then confirm availability and share the price with you through our messaging system.
Why the difference?
Coolstays is a directory rather than a booking platform. We work with hundreds of independent owners, all of whom manage their pricing and bookings in different ways.
We know instant booking is often preferable, and we’re actively working with our owners to bring live pricing and availability to more listings—so the experience will continue to improve over time.
