You may not be able to cancel active reservations or those for which check-in is scheduled to occur within 24 hours. In those cases, you’ll need to contact us.
Cancellation fees and other consequences
Cancelling a guest’s reservation can have serious implications for their trip, so we may imposefees and other consequences. We will waive the fees and, in some cases, the other consequences, if the Host cancels because of a Major Disruptive Event or certain valid reasons beyond the Host’s control.
