If you want to know your exact refund at this moment in time, start canceling your reservation and we’ll show you a detailed breakdown.
How policies are set
Hosts set the cancellation policy for stays of less than 28 days. The long-term cancellation policy applies to all stays of 28 days or more. Some hosts also offer a choice between a non-refundable or refundable rate for their place.
Cancellations due to emergencies or issues with a listing
If you need to cancel because of an emergency, and your reason is covered by our Extenuating Circumstances Policy, you might be able to apply for a full extenuating circumstances refund.
If the listing is inaccessible, unclean, unsafe, or if there’s an animal present that the host didn’t mention in the listing description, we’ll issue a refund or help you find a new place to stay.
If a host can’t or won’t fix an issue, you should contact us within 24 hours of finding the issue. In qualifying cases, we’ll cancel the reservation and issue a refund.
