Guest Cancellation Policy

Last Updated: December 01, 2018

This Guest Cancellation Policy outlines the charges and refunds for Guests when an unconfirmed Booking Request or confirmed Booking is cancelled by the Guest or Host.  A reservation can be cancelled by logging into your HomestayMatch Platform account.  HomestayMatch will use reasonable efforts to resolve any dispute or problem between a Guest and a Host, and HomestayMatch reserves the right to modify the amounts each party is required to pay based on specific circumstances. HomestayMatch has the final decision on all disputes, problems, charges and refunds, and HomestayMatch's decision will be binding on the Guest and Host.  If you have any comments or questions about this Guest Cancellation Policy, feel free to contact us via email at [email protected].
