Identify reservation number and current status

Find your reservation number in the confirmation email or on Booking.com under My Bookings, then copy it exactly. This number anchors every modification or refund request and keeps your plans aligned. Follow best practices: copy the exact code and save it for quick reference.

Open the reservation details on Booking.com or the property portal and check the current status. Look for indicators like confirmed, modified, or canceled. Review recent updates and consult your schedule to anticipate what’s next. If you see “expired” on the status, act immediately. Sync your data across devices so dates and codes stay aligned, then proceed to the next step.

When you need to act, use Modify to explore available options. Use the provided tools, including options to adjust check-in or check-out times and portals to connect to partner channels. The time window for changes may vary based on your booking plan and packages offered by Booking.com.

Check the outcome of your decision; if the rate is refundable and your policy allows it, you can cancel with a refund. Always verify expiration times and what coverage permits, and keep an eye on any deadlines that affect your eligibility.

Quick checks before acting

Check change and cancellation policy and deadlines

Check the policy at least 48 hours before you need to alter or cancel your reservation to avoid penalties. If you act promptly, you can switch dates, adjust guest counts, or arrange pickups at a lower cost and keep most of your budget intact.

In your account, open the Reservations tab, select the booking, and view the panel labeled Policy vagy Modifications. The descriptions explain which changes are allowed, the required steps, and whether you’re eligible for a refund upon cancellation. If a refund for changes isn’t listed, note the rates and any fees so you understand the costs involved before you proceed.

Typical deadlines vary by rate type: some bookings allow changes up to 72 hours before check-in, others up to 24 hours. Cancellations often follow a final window documented as “before check-in” or “by date.” Always read the precise conditions, as the list of terms under your rate may differ, and some conditions may be non-refundable or partially refundable depending on the plan.

If you need to modify, start now: take time to choose new dates, then click to submit the changes. If you cancel, note that you may receive a partial or full refund depending on the plan and timing. In some cases, the refund is issued back to the card used, while in others it’s a bank transfer. Check the official response for details on how and when you’ll receive your refund.

Why do some bookings start with stricter conditions? Because each rate includes different rules; review the options and rate descriptions before purchasing. If paying by credit card, make sure your bank doesn’t apply extra fees. Note that you may need to confirm modifications or cancellations by email or notification in the app—and then receive a written confirmation including the reference number and refunded amount, if applicable.

If you prefer, you can export a receipt from the page for your records and keep it with your important documents.

Cancel your reservation and request a refund

Act fast: Locate your reservation in your account and check the authoritative source for refunds. Review the titles in the policy and the cancellation terms. If the booking was made in July and you meet the cancellation window, you may qualify for a refund. If anything is unclear, request a quick meeting with support to confirm details, and consider attaching any documents for clarity.

Verify eligibility: Review the policy carefully to determine if a full or partial refund is possible, noting any applicable fees or credits. Ensure you have the necessary information, including the reservation ID, dates, and the last four digits of the card(s) used.

Gather data: Confirm whether the reservation involves a car rental and note the pickup or service location. Collect receipts, the amount paid, and any recurring charges. Include details of what is included in the package and any add-on features that may affect the refund.

Initiate the request: In the app or website, choose “Cancel and Request Refund,” or start a chat with support for a quick meeting. If you speak with an agent (e.g., Hugo), clearly explain your case and ask for a prompt resolution. When possible, request the refund be processed to the original card(s) on file.

Provide payment and processing details: Refunds typically return to the original payment method or as a credit on your account. Confirm your preferred method and note the source of funds for reference. If multiple cards were used, specify which one should receive the credit.

Track progress: Refunds usually post within 5–10 business days. If you wait longer, follow up promptly and never delay a needed review. Use status updates, and if needed, request a meeting with a supervisor or another agent to ensure deadlines are respected.

Tippek: Keep all communications concise, attach receipts, and log the cancellation date in your notes. If the booking involved a car or service at a location, verify whether any gratuities or fees apply to future bookings, and monitor recurring charges that may be reversed in the cancellation process.

Know fees, penalties, and refund timelines

Check the exact refund window in your confirmation and cancel within that period to minimize penalties.

Use these practical steps to understand charges and when you’ll receive your refund:

Fees and add-ons

Cancellation fees may include a base portion plus a percentage of the purchase; some add-ons are non-refundable after activation. To reduce charges, you can remove optional add-ons before canceling. Review the provided invoice line by line, as policy location and versions may affect how much you owe.

Penalties and exceptions

No-show or late-cancellation penalties can apply per passenger; for groups, administrators may assign charges to the entire reservation. When you cancel, act within the allowed window to minimize impact. For international travelers, cross-border rules may differ—check the policy applicable to your location to confirm refund eligibility.

Refund timelines

Most refunds post to the original payment method within 7–14 business days after approval; digital wallets may take 2–5 days, and bank transfers can take up to 30 days depending on your bank and location. Sometimes, the refund status shows as pending until the payment processor completes the reversal; contacting administrators can speed up clarity.

How to verify and act

Open your reservation in the app, review your booking, and verify details such as location and purchase. Use available tools and the latest app versions to submit a refund request; ensure your devices are updated and provide requested documents promptly. If you need to adjust capacity or activation for a group, plan and communicate with administrators. Keep records and follow the outlined steps, considering the full context.

Bookings for clinics may have stricter terms. Review purchase details, provide proofs, and check the policy for your location to understand refund eligibility for these services.

Reschedule to new dates or travelers

Quick action starts by opening the calendar in your account and choosing new dates that fit your schedule, the prime window, and capacity. Then verify availability to avoid surprises and keep everyone aligned.

To update travelers, go to the page listing travelers and book the revised roster. If you have multiple travelers, adjust their names and roles, then confirm the updates before proceeding.

Before finalizing, review each element that affects cost, including penalties. If the change isn’t suitable, cancel and start over, then rebook once you’ve adjusted the details. If dates have passed, refresh the page to reflect the latest selections and fix them quickly.

When you’re ready, click the line to apply the changes, then refresh the reservation page to view the updated schedule and traveler details. For beginners, guided prompts help you through each step—just follow them and you’ll see your updates take effect quickly.

Quick checks before you confirm

For beginners, use the checklist to verify each item and ensure there are no penalties or missing elements. If you want to adjust multiple sections, repeat the steps for each request and confirm all changes on the same page.

Common scenarios for travelers and dates

If you need to change multiple travel plans, use the calendar to book new slots and update the list of travelers on the relevant pages. If some travelers have already been canceled or need to be added, book the new entries and review capacity to avoid overbooking.
