Frequently asked questions

Policies and practical details for direct bookings with South Georgia Stays.

Is this the same as booking on Airbnb?

No. This is South Georgia Stays' direct channel. The home may also appear on OTAs, but you are requesting a reservation with South Georgia Stays, not through a marketplace checkout.

When is payment collected?

South Georgia Stays confirms dates first, then collects payment according to your booking agreement (card or approved invoice for corporate stays). Stripe integration is planned for a later phase.

What are check-in and check-out times?

Typically check-in after 4:00 PM and check-out by 11:00 AM. Exact times for your property are confirmed in your arrival message.

Are pets allowed?

Some homes allow pets; others do not. Each listing notes pet policy. Filter the catalog for pet-friendly stays or ask before you book.

Can I extend my stay?

Yes, subject to availability. Contact South Georgia Stays as early as possible. Extended stays are common for travel nurses and relocating families.

What is your cancellation policy?

Policies vary by property and length of stay. Direct bookings follow the terms sent at confirmation. Contact us before booking if you need flexible dates.
