Cancellations and refunds
How to cancel, how fast you get your money back, and what happens if a host cancels.
Each home has its own cancellation policy, shown before you book. It decides how much of your money comes back if you cancel.
If you cancel
- Go to your trips page and choose the booking. You'll see exactly what you get back before you confirm.
- Flexible: a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in, or more.
- Moderate: a full refund for part of the stay, then less as check-in gets closer.
- Strict: no refund after a set date. We don't recommend these unless the price is much lower.
If a host cancels
- You get a full refund, including the service fee.
- We'll help you find a similar home for your dates if you'd like one, and the host's reliability score drops.
If something goes wrong
- If a home isn't as described, or you can't get in, contact us. Choose "Safety" for urgent problems and we aim to answer within 15 minutes.
- We'll work with the host to fix it, or refund you and help you find somewhere else.
