1. Role of Yoresa
Yoresa Reserve is a marketplace that connects guests and customers with independent providers of accommodation, spaces, services, equipment, vehicles, and experiences. Yoresa is not the owner or operator of the listed properties, services, or experiences unless clearly stated.
Yoresa Reserve helps protect both guests and providers by keeping bookings, payments, and disputes on-platform through our secure payment system.
2. Guest Responsibility
As a guest, you are responsible for:
- Providing accurate booking details and information

The total may include:

Yoresa may hold and control the payment through a regulated payment partner until the booking starts, check-in is confirmed, or the service is completed. Payment is released to the provider after the relevant booking milestone is reached.
Payment Processing Fees: Payment processing fees may vary depending on payment method, card type, country, currency, mobile money provider, or banking provider. The full amount payable will always be shown before you confirm your booking.
