The options include: heating the pool for your entire stay or from the middle to the end of your stay (no skipping days). Once your pool is heated, it remains heated until the end of your stay and you are responsible for paying per night.

If you want the pool heated, please follow the instructions below:
1) Please send a request/notice to the Host at least 3 days prior to first day of heating!
2) Host will send message about collecting total heating days payment through other online payment platforms in USD currency.
