Once you (the Guest) have made a reservation through our Website and have received a confirmation e-mail, you may wish to review, adjust or cancel your reservation. In this case please revert to the confirmation email and follow the instructions therein. Kindly bear in mind that: a) our Fees are not refundable under no circumstances (except the case of a cancellation by a Host – please refer below for more information) and b) you may be charged for your cancellation depending on the Host's cancellation (and no-show) policy. We recommend that you read the cancellation (and no-show) policy of each Host carefully prior to making your reservation.
We offer Hosts six different cancellation (and no-show) policies: i) super flexible, ii) flexible, iii) moderate, iv) strict, v) super strict, vi) firm or
vii) extremely strict as these policies are explained below. Each Host is free to choose the cancellation (and no-show) policy that best fits its needs.
The cancellation (and no-show) policy of each Host is made available on our Website at the accommodation information pages, during the reservation procedure and in the confirmation email, you will receive.
By making a reservation at a Host, you accept and agree to the relevant cancellation (and no-show) policy of that Host, and to any additional (delivery) terms and conditions of that Host which may apply to your reservation or during your stay, including for services rendered and/or products offered by the Host (the delivery terms and conditions of a Host can be obtained by the relevant Host).
Cancellation (and no-show) policies aim in protecting both Guests and Hosts and stipulate the amount of money that may be refunded to Guest in case of cancellation or no-show. The refunded amount of money is determined by the time the Guest cancels his/her reservation and by the selected cancellation (and no-show) policy from the Host. The refundable amount of money includes additional Guests’ charges and cleaning fees. The company’s fees are not refundable and are not included in the refundable amount.
Cancellation (no-show) policies:
i) SUPER FLEXIBLE
The guest will be refunded the full amount of the booking fees if (s)he cancels the booking up to one week prior to his/her arrival day (check-in) to the Host’s accommodation.
All cancellations must take place by 12:00 (midday) according to the Central European Time (CET), on the appropriate day.
ii) FLEXIBLE
The guest will be refunded the full amount of the booking fees if (s)he cancels the booking up to 2 weeks prior to his/her arrival day (check-in) to the Host’s accommodation.
The guest will be refunded 50% of the booking fees, if (s)he cancels the booking up to 1 week prior to his/her arrival (check-in) to the Host’s accommodation.

No refund will be given, if (s)he cancels the booking less than 42 days prior to his/her arrival (check-in) to the Host’s accommodation.
All cancellations must take place by 12:00 (midday) according to the Central European Time (CET), on the appropriate day.
All cancellations must be controlled and processed by our Company. You must always contact us in these cases. In order to cancel your booking, you just have to send us an e-mail to [email protected] or call us at +44(0)20 3624 0359 and provide us with your booking details.
Your cancellation is official once both parties (Guests/Hosts) receive a confirmation from our Company.
A Guest may cancel his/her booking up to 24 hours after (s)he has checked in, if (s)he has serious complaints about his/her booking.
Our support team will cancel the booking and may entitle the Guest with a full refund depending on the reason for cancellation. For example, if the Guest’s cancellation is because (s)he does not like the accommodation although it was properly described by the Host in our Website, Guest will not be entitled to any refund.
Cancellation made more than 24 hours after check-in, will not entitle Guests with a full refund.
We reserve the right to cancel any booking at any time for security or fraud-protection purposes. In such cases cancellation policies will not apply, Hosts will receive no payment for the cancelled booking and where payment has been taken, Guest will receive a full refund on the card used for the booking.
If Host cancels a booking, the Company is able to charge Host 15% cancellation fees and decrease the rating of Host’s listing in the search results.
Guests will receive a full refund of his/her booking, including our fees. Also, we are more than happy to help you find alternative accommodation and provide all appropriate assistance. In the event that no alternative accommodation is available or you do not accept the alternative listed property offered by the same Host or by a new Host, your payment will be fully refunded to you. No further payments or refunds will be made by our Company.
Hosts may set additional charges in the form of a deposit or otherwise (for example late checkout fees) that are due by Guests. Such additional fees, which are not included or factored in the Host Fee may be expressly stated in the booking summary page or may be agreed with the Host by separate arrangement and in any case, are directly charged by a Host. Payment of such additional charges (for example upon arrival or check-out) shall be made by Guests directly to the Host in accordance with the terms you agreed with the Host.
As noted in this Agreement (please refer to “Terms & Conditions”), the Company shall not be responsible for administering or accepting a Host's requests or claims related to such additional charges or payments and disclaims any liability in this respect.
