Rental availability on RedWeek is based on the owner’s confirmed reservation. When you see a listing with specific dates, it means the owner has that exact week reserved. A booking request is the first step toward securing that stay.
What “Available” Means
A rental listing is considered available when:
- The owner has an active reservation for the listed dates
- The posting is currently published and open for booking requests
- The unit has not been rented or removed
Submitting a Booking Request Does Not Guarantee the Reservation
Your booking is not confirmed until:
1. The owner approves your booking request
2. Your payment is processed successfully
3. You receive a booking confirmation from RedWeek
Why Owner Approval Is Required
Owners must confirm that:
- Their reservation is still valid and available
- The unit details (dates, size, view) have not changed
- They can complete the guest-name update for your stay
This step ensures accuracy and prevents check-in issues.
Why a Request Might Be Declined
A request may be declined if:
- The owner recently booked the week elsewhere
- Their resort changed or reassigned their reservation
- They cannot update the guest name
- They are temporarily unavailable to fulfill the booking
- The posting details were incorrect or incomplete
If your request is declined:
- You will be notified immediately
- You may submit a request for any other listing
Pending Requests
While your request is pending:
- The owner is reviewing it
- RedWeek will notify you when the owner responds
- No payment is taken until approval
Multiple Requests
You may only have one active booking request per listing, but you may request multiple listings if you are exploring options. Each listing must be approved separately.
Verified & Protected Listings
These listings already have confirmed reservation details on file with RedWeek, making the approval process smoother and often faster.
Understanding how availability and booking requests work helps you plan your trip confidently and avoid confusion during the reservation process.
