Reservation and payment are separate

Official payment pages for Yongdae and Songnisan Maltijae national forest retreats say that booking a unit and paying by card or bank transfer are separate actions.

Official first-come booking rules

  • A standard first-come reservation must be paid by 23:00 the following day.
  • If the scheduled stay is within seven days, payment must be completed within three hours after booking.
  • Reservations automatically cancel if unpaid at the applicable deadline.
  • After paying, check that My Page displays Paid rather than simply Reserved.

Checklist

  1. Select the room, date and guest count and submit the booking.
  2. Determine whether the stay is within seven days and note the precise deadline.
  3. Complete payment with a supported card, virtual account or bank transfer before time runs out.
  4. Confirm the paid status in My Page.
  5. Avoid last-minute payments because payment-service operating windows can vary.

These rules were cross-checked on two Korea Forest Service national retreat pages. Lotteries or municipality-run facilities may use other deadlines.
