I would strongly advise caution when using Swikly.
They claim the deposit is “only reserved” and not actually charged. That is misleading. The €250 deposit was taken from my credit card on January 6th for a stay in Paris (January 9–11, booked via Airbnb), and months later I still have not received my money back.
It was not a simple authorization hold — the amount was effectively charged and removed from my available balance. Did not get it back until now and no clear communication or timeline.
A deposit that is supposedly “just reserved” should not be held for months after checkout. This experience has been frustrating and disappointing.
I would not use this service again.
