Terms & Conditions
Last updated October 31, 2026
These terms apply when you use the YoCasa website to find and book short-term stays. YoCasa is run by Luis Fortes, sole proprietor, doing business as YoCasa, 6100 Sierra Leon, Austin, TX 78759, USA. By creating an account or making a reservation you agree to them.
Your account
You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or make a reservation, and the person who books must be staying or responsible for the guests who stay. You sign in with your mobile phone number and a code we send to it. Keep access to your phone secure; you are responsible for reservations made from your account. The details you give us must be accurate.
Reservations and payments
- The price, fees and taxes are shown before you reserve. The total confirmed when you reserve is what you owe.
- You can pay in full, pay a deposit of at least 10% of the total, or reserve and pay later. A reservation with no payment holds the dates for 48 hours and is then cancelled automatically.
- Until 3 days before check-in you can pay in parts, each at least 10% of the balance still due. After that the whole balance is due at once.
- Payments are processed by Stripe by card, Google Pay or Apple Pay. If you pay in another currency, the amount is converted at the day’s exchange rate.
Cancellations
You can cancel a reservation made on YoCasa from My trips before check-in. Reservations made outside YoCasa (for example on booking.com) can be paid and invoiced here but must be cancelled where they were made.
Your stay
Follow the house rules shown on the listing and leave the property as you found it. The host may refuse or end a stay that breaks the house rules, and you are responsible for damage caused during your stay.
