News: Flexible booking - how does it work?

Our free cancellation, book now, pay later and low deposit options allow you to dream about your next holiday destination, with no-risk cancellation.

At times like the present, when you want to be ready for all eventualities, these rates allow you to secure your chosen accommodation for your holiday at the best possible price, whilst knowing that you can make changes later if necessary.

Sometimes, however, it can be a little confusing to have so many different options, so this is a chance for us to explain how it all works.

Step 1 - Search for accommodation

When you search for accommodation on HalalBooking.com you simply enter the details such as who will be travelling with you, when you are travelling and where you want to go, and/ or the type of accommodation you are looking for. Then hit the ‘SEARCH’ button.

Step 2 - Check your search results

Don’t forget that you can use the halal filters and other filters to further narrow your search. Your search results will show you a total price for your chosen dates, together with the different payment options available for each hotel or villa. The most flexible options such as ‘Free cancellation’ or ‘Book now pay later’ are shown in green underneath the accommodation name.
