Change your home cancellation policy

It’s easy to change the cancellation policy for your place once you decide on one that works for you.

  2. Under Listing editor, click Your space

What happens to the cancellation policy for existing reservations when you make a change

Any changes you make to your cancellation policy will only apply to future reservations and won’t affect any pending or confirmed reservations. The cancellation policy that was set when you received a reservation will still apply to that reservation.

Changing the cancellation policy for a service or experience

Most services and experiences will have a 1-day cancellation policy. For certain services and experiences, hosts have a 3-day cancellation policy. Learn more about changing your service or experience cancellation policy.
