Service fee refunds
If you need to cancel, you may be able to receive a refund on your entire reservation, including the service fee. So how does it work?
When the service fee is refundable
The service fee is refundable if you cancel before your reservation’s free cancellation period ends or if your Host decides to refund you in full after you cancel.
Find out if you’ll be refunded the service fee
Check your reservation’s cancellation policy to find out if you’re within the free cancellation period and will be refunded the service fee if you cancel.
