Types of free cancellation policies

There are different options a Host might offer for a full refund. These include:

• A full refund of nightly rate if you cancel at least 1 day prior to arrival, or,
• A full refund of nightly rate if you cancel at least 7 days prior to arrival

In some cases, Hosts might offer a partial refund. You can find the specific cancellation policy your Host has set on their place before you book which will tell you what date you need to cancel by to avoid fees.
