Cancellation Policy for Hosts
Cancellation policies for your listing
Sometimes, things come up and guests have to cancel. To keep things running smoothly, you can choose a cancellation policy for each of your listings.
How to change your cancellation policy
Want to offer guests more flexibility? Or maybe you’d like a little more protection against cancellations? Either way, it’s easy to change your cancellation policy once you decide on one that works for you.
To change your cancellation policy:
-
Go to My Listings and select the listing you want to change
-
Click Booking settings
-
Under Policies, go to the Cancellation policy and click Edit
-
Select a policy, then click Save
Changes to your cancellation policy are only applied to future reservations and don’t affect any pending or confirmed reservations.
