Staycation Checklist: What to Check Before Booking

Before booking your next staycation, use this checklist to review amenities, pricing, rules, security deposit, and check-in details.

A staycation should feel relaxing, not stressful. Before confirming your booking, it is important to check the details carefully so you know exactly what to expect.

First, review the total price. Check if the rate already includes cleaning fees, extra guest charges, security deposit, parking, and amenity access. Some properties may have separate fees depending on the building or host policy.

Next, check the sleeping setup. Make sure the number of beds, mattresses, and sleeping arrangements match your group size. This is especially important for families, barkadas, and group stays.

You should also review the amenities. Look for Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, kitchen equipment, towels, toiletries, entertainment, and access to facilities like a pool, gym, or lounge area if available.

Do not skip the house rules. Check policies for smoking, pets, visitors, parties, quiet hours, and check-in requirements. Some buildings may require IDs or guest registration before arrival.

Lastly, review the cancellation or rescheduling policy. Some bookings are flexible, while others may be non-refundable.
