If you need to change the dates of a confirmed home reservation, you can submit a trip change request to your host. Once you send the request, your host will receive a notification to approve or decline your request.
Depending on your host’s pricing, changing the dates of your reservation may affect the total cost of your trip. The original total and the new total will be shown before you submit your trip change request. If the cost of your trip changes, you’ll be charged or refunded, if necessary.
If the cost of your trip increases, in most cases, the additional cost will be charged to your original payment method as soon as the host accepts your trip change request. For some payment methods, guests will need to submit the additional payment within 48 hours of the host accepting the trip change request.
If the cost of the trip decreases, you’ll be refunded to the payment method you used when you booked the home reservation. Find out when you’ll get your refund.
If you booked using a pre-approval that your host sent, any change to the home reservation means that the price of the reservation will be recalculated as if it were a new booking.
Your host may be willing to offer you the same price as your original booking. Just message them to ask. If they agree, they can send you a trip change request with a new price.
When a trip change request is accepted, the taxes for a home reservation are always recalculated to apply the most recent and accurate tax requirements for the home's location.
If the host declines your trip change request, or doesn’t respond, your reservation will stay the same.
You can’t make changes if your checkout has already passed. But you can always book a new stay with the host.
For some hotel stays, you may need to contact the hotel directly to change your reservation.
Once you’ve submitted a trip change request, any later changes must go through the process again as a new request.
If your host hasn’t responded to the request and you no longer want to make changes, you can always withdraw your trip change request.
If a reservation is for 28 nights or more, the monthly stays cancellation policy applies. When a trip change request is submitted for a monthly stay, the change may happen automatically without requiring approval if:
If a monthly stay is shortened to a length of 27 nights or less (shorter stay), you’ll be responsible for the following 30 days of payment from the day of the alteration, or until the end of the reservation if less than 30 days remain.
Once a home reservation is altered from a monthly stay to 27 nights or less (shorter stay), the host’s standard cancellation policy will apply to future alterations or cancellations made to the updated reservation.
