Booking a farmhouse or a beach hut through MicoDev.
Does MicoDev cost me anything?No. You pay the host the price shown, and nothing else. Our fee is charged to the host, never added to your bill.
Is my payment protected?No, and we will not pretend otherwise. MicoDev does not hold your money. You transfer it straight to the host's own bank account, so we cannot freeze a payment or issue you a refund. What we do instead: we visit every property in person, we check that the bank account title matches the host's real name, and we show you those details only inside this website. If that is not enough protection for you, please do not book — that is a fair decision.
Someone sent me a different account number on WhatsApp. Should I pay it?No. Stop. We will only ever show you a host's account details on the payment page of this website. Account numbers sent to you in a chat message — from the host, from MicoDev, or from anyone else — are the single most common way people are defrauded here. If you see one, tell us before you transfer anything.
Why do you ask how I first heard about this place?Because it decides whether the host pays us. If you were already their customer, they pay nothing. Your honest answer is what keeps that fair — it is not used for advertising.
What is a 'slot'?Karachi farmhouses and huts are not rented by the night. They are sold in blocks: day, night, or day+night together. Friday and the weekend are priced separately because that is how the market actually works. Pick the date and the slot and the price you see is the price you pay.
How long is my date held?One hour from the moment you submit the form, free of charge. The booking is confirmed once the host checks your transfer has arrived.
Can I cancel?Cancellation and refunds are between you and the host, under whatever policy that host publishes. Because we never held your money, we cannot refund it. Ask the host what their policy is before you transfer.
What do you do with my phone number?We pass it to the host of the place you booked, so they can confirm your booking and let you in — that is the whole point of it. We do not sell it, and we do not pass it to any other host. Before you book, the host does
not see it at all. See the
privacy policy.
There is an assistant on the listing page. Does it actually know anything?It only knows what the listing says. Prices and free dates it reads live from the same calendar the host maintains, so it cannot quote you a rate that is not real — and if something is not in the listing, it says so rather than guessing. When it does not know, it offers to put the question to the host.
Can I ask the host something before I book?Yes. Use Ask the host on any listing. Your question goes to the owner and their answer comes back to you here and on WhatsApp. Neither of you sees the other's number.
Why did my message lose a phone number?Phone numbers, e-mail addresses, links and account numbers are removed from messages in both directions, and you are told when it happens. Two reasons. A fake account number arriving in a chat is the commonest way people get robbed in a booking, and a booking made off MicoDev is one we cannot stand behind if the gate is locked when you arrive.
Will you pester me for a review?Once, the morning after you check out, and one reminder four days later if you have not replied. That is it — and every message has a link that stops it for good. Reviewing takes about twenty seconds: tap a rating, tap what went well, add a line if you feel like it.
Whose star rating is that?Depends which one. A rating marked “from guests who booked here” is ours, and every one of those is tied to a stay someone paid for through MicoDev — there is no public form to leave one, so they cannot be bought or invented. A rating marked Google is the place's own, written by anyone, and the link takes you there to read them. We show Google's because we are a new pilot with few of our own yet, and making some up would be the fastest way to deserve none.
When do I get the host's number?The moment your booking is confirmed, without asking. You get the host's number, the gate contact and the directions together — which is when you actually need them.
