Booking Requests and the 50% deposit....

[Caroline-Audrey0]

Hi everyone, 

Just need a clear answer on this situation.....  

I wish to book a particular AirBnB in November 2020 (it's already booked out until end of October 2020 - so the pressure is on to get myself booked in quickly).

My currently financial situation this pay cycle is I can only do the 50% deposit option (best thing AirBnB introduced imo).

However this particular AirBnB is not an instant book, we need to request a booking. 

If I request a booking - will the whole amount just be automatically charged to me when the owner accepts?

Or will I still have an option to select the 50% deposit option first? 

Thanks in advance!
