Tips for Flexible Travel

Book Properties with Flexible Policies

If your plans are uncertain, look for properties with flexible cancellation policies for more peace of mind.

Cancel Early if Possible

The earlier you cancel, the better your refund. Don't wait until the last minute if you know you need to cancel.

Consider Travel Insurance

For long trips or expensive bookings, travel insurance can provide additional protection beyond the host's cancellation policy.

Review Policy Before Booking

Always check the cancellation policy before booking. It's clearly displayed on each listing's page.

What If the Host Cancels?

If a host cancels your confirmed reservation, you're protected:

  • Automatic Full Refund: You'll receive a 100% refund within 24 hours
  • Rebooking Assistance: We'll help you find a comparable or better property
  • Booking Credit (Optional): Receive extra credit towards your next booking as an apology

Host cancellations are rare and taken seriously. Hosts who cancel may face penalties including suspension from the platform.
