Security deposit - can I increase for just 1 booking?

[Sarah-and-Clive0]

Can I increase my security deposit for just one booking? Its currently £200 and I'd like to make it £600. We have a big music festival in our town in June & 4 guys want to book our Georgian, grade 2 listed home. 

I'm happy to proceed with the booking if I have more of a security deposit.

I don't want to put off future guests by changing it on the profile, so can I alter it for just 1  weekend booking?

thanks for your replies

Depends on whether it is an enquiry or reservation request - look up the difference between the two.

Thanks for your reply.

Its a reservation request at this stage, I've not accepted it.

 I understand I can't change the security deposit once the reservation has been made.  Not sure if that replies whilst its in request stage?

I don't want to alter the security deposit on future bookings, its just this one. 

thanks so much for replying, I really appreciate it

PS: The guests understand my concerns & have agreed in principle to a higher security deposit.

Its currently at 'reservation request' stage (as of Thur eve) and I'm happy to acccpt the booking with more of a security deposit.

I don't want to put off future guests by changing it on the profile, so can I alter it for just 1  weekend booking?

Can I even change the security deposit at 'reservation request' stage?  Looks like changing it will only apply to new reseservations.  Could I let request expire & then increase deposit & ask him to re-book?
