Cancellation and Refund Policy

Last updated: August 2, 2026

This is the Platform's default (standard) policy, applied to all bookings until an explicit decision is made to allow different policies per property.

Cancellation by the Guest

The payment processing fee (retained by Stripe) is non-refundable, regardless of when the cancellation occurs.

Cancellation by the Host

If a Host cancels a confirmed booking (for example due to an unintentional overlap with another platform), the request goes through Platform approval, and the Guest receives a full refund (100%), including the processing fee.

How refunds are processed

Refunds are processed via Stripe, to the original payment method, typically within 5-10 business days. To request a cancellation, contact us using the contact address published on the site, mentioning the booking number.

Last-minute discounts

Bookings made with a last-minute discount (applied automatically for stays booked shortly before check-in) follow the same cancellation policy above, calculated on the amount actually paid.
