Cancellation Policy

Flexible plans for flexible travelers.

Life happens. Every OpenRoom listing has a clear cancellation tier so you know exactly what to expect before you book.

How Cancellation Works

Each property chooses one of five cancellation tiers. The tier is always displayed on the listing page before you book.

1

Check the Policy

Every listing clearly shows its cancellation tier — Relaxed, Moderate, Strict, Very Strict, or Non-Refundable.

2

Cancel or Contact Support

Use your booking page for a standard cancellation. Contact support when you need an exception reviewed.

3

Receive Your Refund

Eligible standard refunds can be processed automatically to the original payment method. Exceptional cases require support review.

Processing Fee

For a standard guest cancellation, OpenRoom retains its 4% guest fee and the taxes attributable to it. A full-trip refund manually approved by OpenRoom includes that fee and its taxes.

Important Details

Key information about how refunds and cancellations work.

Timing Reference

All cancellation windows are measured against the property's local check-in time. The property's timezone is used, not yours, and the exact deadline is inclusive.

Processing Fee

OpenRoom retains the 4% guest fee and its taxes for standard guest cancellations. If OpenRoom manually approves a full-trip refund, the 4% fee and its taxes are refunded too.

Tax Refunds

Taxes attributable to refunded nightly charges and cleaning fees are refunded. Taxes attributable to a retained 4% guest fee are retained. Calculations use the booking's accepted financial evidence.

Automatic and Manual Review

Eligible standard refunds can be processed automatically when the accepted terms and financial evidence are complete. Exceptions, partial adjustments, and missing evidence require manual review.

No-Shows & Early Departures

No-shows and early departures are not eligible for automatic refunds. Contact our support team for case-by-case review.

Date Changes

Date modifications are currently handled manually. Contact our support team to request a date change for your booking.

Limited Exceptions

In extraordinary circumstances, OpenRoom may approve a refund outside the standard tier rules. These are reviewed on a case-by-case basis and may include:

  • Natural disasters or force majeure events affecting the property
  • Significant property misrepresentation verified by our team
  • Health emergencies with supporting documentation
  • Government-imposed travel restrictions

Exceptions are not guaranteed. OpenRoom reserves the right to make the final determination.
