Hotel Cancellation Policies: Everything You Need to Know

Cancellation policies on Trip.com vary depending on the hotel, room type, and rate you've selected. Understanding these policies is key to avoiding any unexpected fees.

Common Cancellation Policies

• Free Cancellation: This is the most flexible option. You can cancel your booking for free within a specified timeframe before your check-in date (e.g., 2-3 days prior). Once cancelled, you'll receive a full refund to your original account or payment method.
• Non-refundable/Non-cancellable: These bookings often come with special discounted rates. However, please keep in mind that if you cancel, you won't be eligible for a refund, or you may only receive a very small partial refund (if any).
• Cancellation Fee Applies: You can cancel your booking, but a cancellation fee will apply according to the hotel's policy. The amount refunded will be the total room rate minus this fee.

Important Things to Keep in Mind When Canceling Your Hotel Booking

To ensure a smooth cancellation and refund process, keep these tips in mind:

• Read the terms carefully before booking: Always check the "Cancellation Policy" on the booking page. This is the most important step.
• Timing is everything: Any changes or cancellations must be made before the specified deadline. The closer you get to your travel date, the higher the chance of incurring fees.
• Save your confirmation emails: Your booking and cancellation confirmation emails from Trip.com are essential proof should any disputes arise.
