How do I cancel a traveler’s booking?

When the traveler needs to cancel:

Travelers should cancel through their Vakay account. You will not need to approve the cancellation. They will receive a refund if within the allotted time to cancel based on your cancellation policy.

If they qualify for a refund, the traveler's financial institution will be able to credit them. 

If you have a Silver Plan, travelers will need to contact you directly.


When you need to cancel a travelers booking:

Under Rental Properties, a property owner can cancel a traveler’s booking, before the traveler takes occupancy. Only in the case of a fire or if the property is unsafe for occupancy. When you cancel a traveler’s reservation, they will receive a 100% refund, minus transaction fees.
