Historic Center of Porto, on Via Catarina

Once you send a booking request, the host is notified that you are interested in their listing. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your booking.

Hosts are mainly interested in the profile of their guest. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your booking will more likely get approved.

You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every listing. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.

While arranging a contract on Flatio, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the hosts on Flatio.

Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on Flatio from the comfort of your own home.

If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the host and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.

Für den Fall, dass Sie einziehen und die gemietete Unterkunft nicht mit den Angaben auf Flatio übereinstimmt, informieren Sie uns so schnell wie möglich!

Wenn die Bedingungen für den Rücktritt erfüllt sind und der Vermieter das Problem nicht sofort beheben kann, haben Sie die Möglichkeit, bei voller Rückerstattung vom Mietvertrag zurückzutreten. Außerdem helfen wir Ihnen aktiv bei der Suche nach einer alternativen Unterkunft und bleiben an Ihrer Seite, bis alles vollständig geklärt ist.

Die Bedingungen und alle Details zu unserer Einzugsgarantie können Sie unter in diesem Artikel unseres Help Centers nachlesen.

How you can cancel a booking varies depending on what stage the booking is in.

Is your booking request still waiting for host approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!

However, suppose the owner has already approved your booking request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the booking before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the host accepts your booking, the property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.

Do you have an approved booking and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your booking, contact Flatio customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
