Frequently Asked Questions

Browse properties by city or use the search bar to filter by dates, guest count and budget. Open a listing to see photos, amenities, house rules and the full price, then choose your dates and click "Book Now" to complete secure payment. You get instant confirmation with the host details and directions.

You can browse and compare properties without an account, but you will need to sign in with your mobile number to complete a booking. This is how we send your confirmation, share host contact details and let you manage or cancel the booking later.

Yes. Many farmhouses and villas offer a half-day slot as well as a full 24-hour stay, and the listing shows the price for each. Day-use bookings are popular for birthday parties, anniversaries and small get-togethers where an overnight stay is not needed.

For ordinary weekdays a few days is usually enough. For weekends, long weekends and festival dates such as Diwali, New Year and Holi, we recommend booking three to six weeks ahead — the larger properties with private pools are typically the first to go.

Yes, subject to availability and the property's modification policy. Open the booking in your account or contact our support team and we will check whether your new dates can be accommodated.

Cancellation policies vary by property and are shown on the listing before you pay. Most properties allow free cancellation up to 24 to 48 hours before check-in, after which a partial charge may apply.

BookMyFarm lists private farmhouses, pool villas, resorts, serviced apartments and weekend homes. Farmhouses and villas suit groups and celebrations, resorts suit guests who want on-site dining and activities, and apartments and weekend homes work well as a short term rental for couples or small families.

On BookMyFarm a farmhouse is typically a larger property on open land with lawns, outdoor space and room for bigger groups, often on the outskirts of a city. A villa is usually a more finished holiday home, frequently with a private swimming pool, and tends to suit smaller groups and couples looking for a luxury staycation.

Yes. Private pool farmhouses and private pool villas are among the most booked properties on the platform. Use the amenity filter to see only properties with a pool, and check the listing for whether the pool is heated, covered or shared.

Farmhouses and villas are booked as whole properties — the house, lawn and pool are yours for the duration of your booking. Resorts and some homestays are shared, and the listing states this clearly.

Listings range from one-bedroom weekend homes for a couple to six-bedroom farmhouses that comfortably host forty-five guests. Every listing shows its guest limit and bedroom count, and you can filter by group size before you search.

Each listing has a detailed amenities section. Common amenities include a private swimming pool, garden and lawn, parking, WiFi, air conditioning, a fully equipped kitchen, a sound system, a barbecue area and a kids' play area.

Pet policies vary by property. Look for the "Pet Friendly" tag on a listing, or filter for it directly. Additional pet cleaning fees may apply and are shown before you pay.

Most properties have a fully equipped kitchen for self-catering, and many allow you to bring your own cook or caterer. Some hosts offer meal packages or an in-house cook for an additional charge — check the listing or ask the host after booking.

Yes. Every listing on BookMyFarm has a built-in chat that connects you straight to the property owner — no agent, no broker and no call centre in between. You can ask about the pool, the kitchen, early check-in, extra mattresses or whether your group size is workable, and get the answer from the person who actually owns the place.

No. BookMyFarm is a direct-to-owner platform: you see the property, you message the owner, and you book on the site. There is no broker sitting between you and the host, and no agent markup layered onto the price you are shown.

Open any farmhouse, villa or resort listing and start a chat from the property page. Messages reach the owner directly, and the conversation stays in your account so you can refer back to what was agreed about check-in time, guest count or house rules before and during your stay.

Yes — it works both ways. Owners get the same direct line to guests from their dashboard, so they can confirm details, answer questions about the property and sort out arrival arrangements without anyone relaying messages for them.

We list vacation rentals in and around Surat, Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Navsari, Daman, Silvassa and Saputara in Gujarat and nearby, plus Mumbai, Pune, Lonavala, Karjat, Alibaug and Nashik in Maharashtra, Udaipur and Jaipur in Rajasthan, Hyderabad in Telangana, Delhi NCR, Goa and Bangalore.

Open the city page closest to you — for example farmhouses in Surat or farmhouses in Hyderabad — or use the map view on the explore page to see properties by location. Most of our stays sit within a two to three hour drive of a major city, which is what makes them practical for a single-night getaway.

Yes — that is the core of what we do. Lonavala and Karjat serve Mumbai and Pune, Kamrej and Olpad serve Surat, and Tukkuguda and Shamirpet serve Hyderabad, so a weekend farmhouse is a short drive rather than a flight away.

Open the city page closest to you and sort by what matters — most booked, best reviewed or price. Every listing shows its real guest rating, review count and the amenities it actually has, so you can compare a private pool farmhouse against a budget-friendly option side by side rather than guessing from photos alone.

Each city page has a "Most booked this week" section ranking properties by real guest bookings rather than by advertising spend. It is the quickest way to see which farmhouses near you are genuinely in demand for weekends and festival dates.

Every listing shows its average star rating and the number of reviews behind it, both on the card and on the property page. Properties with a high rating across a large review count are the safest bet for a first booking in a new city.

Yes. Budget farmhouse and budget villa stays are among the most searched categories on BookMyFarm, and several cities have a dedicated budget collection. Use the price filter to set your ceiling, and consider Sunday-to-Thursday dates — the same property is usually noticeably cheaper midweek than at the weekend.

Book midweek where you can, pick a property whose guest limit matches your group rather than a larger one, and check whether a half-day slot covers what you need instead of a full 24 hours. Larger groups usually get a better per-person rate on a big farmhouse than on two smaller villas.

We accept major credit and debit cards, UPI, net banking and digital wallets. All payments are processed through an encrypted payment gateway.

Payment is normally taken when you confirm the booking. Some properties offer a part-payment option with the balance due at the property, which is clearly indicated during checkout.

No. The price you see includes the base accommodation charge, and any extras — additional guests beyond the included count, pet fees, or optional services such as catering — are itemised before you pay rather than added afterwards.

Demand for farm stays is concentrated on Friday and Saturday nights, so most hosts set a higher weekend rate. Booking Sunday through Thursday is usually noticeably cheaper for the same property, which is worth knowing if your dates are flexible.

Some hosts ask for a refundable security deposit, collected either at booking or on arrival. Where it applies, the amount and refund timeline are stated on the listing before you book.

Use the "List Your Property" option to register as an owner and submit your property details. Our team verifies the property, helps with photography and pricing guidance, and takes it live. You keep control of your calendar and can block dates whenever you want to use the property yourself.

Listing is free. We earn a commission only on confirmed bookings, so there is no upfront cost to putting your farmhouse, villa or holiday home on the platform.

Payouts are transferred to the bank account registered in your owner profile after the guest has checked in, on the schedule shown in your owner dashboard.

Our support team is reachable by phone, WhatsApp and the chat in your booking confirmation. If something at the property is not as described or stops working, contact us straight away so we can take it up with the host while you are still there.

Host contact details are included in your booking confirmation, and you can also message them through the platform to arrange arrival time or any special requirements.

Tell us immediately. If a property differs significantly from its listing we will work to resolve it, which may include moving you to a comparable property or arranging a refund depending on the circumstances.
