Private villa payment

Hi, I’m looking for advice please. We have selected a private villa we would like to book but wary about payment as it can’t be done via credit card. I gather this is fairly typical with private lets so really just needing reassurance that it’s ok to go ahead or has anyone had a bad experience? Thanks.

I have never been able to pay via credit card for a private villa, I think its quite rare to be able to. I would say just do as much research as you can. Where is it advertised? Are there reviews?

Renting villas out privately doesn't work without trust ...
... the owner is also trusting you with the keys to their home, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Very good point! Yes, I’ve already done the suggested checks and I’m happy in that respect.

It’s advertised in a few different places and there are reviews too.

Sounds like you’ve done your due diligence regarding the villa checks. It’s normal to pay by bank transfer for a villa, lots of owners use PayPal too

I have rented a private Villa and spoke to the owner in person on the phone so after looking at the website and reading other reviews I have paid via PayPal as well. I have also had return calls from the owner as well so I feel reasonably happy that all is well with the rental.

As other owners have mentioned, I also use bank transfer and Paypal as well as the payment platforms on some of the other sites that I advertise on. I think the key is that you have good communication with the owner and that they allay any fears that you have on the payment method. I make sure to communicate with my guests that there payments are received as this is important to ensure a stress free holiday.
