Understanding Your Reservation Status


You can track the status of any booking from your Reservations page. Here is what each status means:

- Hoplocation is reviewing and preparing your booking confirmation
- You will receive confirmation within 24 hours

Balance Due
- Your booking has been confirmed by Hoplocation
- Your remaining balance is due within 24 hours
- Pay promptly to secure your stay — failure to pay will lapse the reservation

Paid / Confirmed
- Full payment has been received
- Your stay is fully booked and confirmed
- Check your booking details for host contact and access information

Pending
- Your payment is being processed
- No action needed — this usually resolves within a few minutes

Failed
- Your payment was unsuccessful
- Check your card details or try a different payment method
- Contact your bank if the issue persists

Expired
- The payment window closed before payment was completed
- Your reservation has lapsed and the property is released
- You will need to start a new reservation if still interested

Cancelled
- The booking was cancelled by you or by Hoplocation
- Refer to the cancellation policy for refund eligibility

- This can take up to 30 working days depending on your bank or payment provider
