Does Airbnb UK Have a Cancellation Policy?
Instead of issuing a general cancellation policy on reservations, Airbnb UK lets each host set their own refund terms. These terms generally fall into three main categories, and you can view the details of each property’s terms on the host’s reservation page.
The Flexible cancellation policy is the most common, and this policy gives you free cancellation terms up to two weeks before your scheduled arrival date. If you book a property with a Flexible cancellation policy less than 14 days before your arrival date, then you can cancel your reservation for free within two days of the time that's listed on your confirmation email. The Moderate cancellation policy also gives you up to 14 days before your scheduled arrival date to cancel your booking for free, but this policy only lets you cancel your reservation within five days of check-in if you’ve booked less than two weeks out. The Strict cancellation policy is the least flexible of any of the major cancellation policies, and reservations with this policy can only be cancelled within two days of your booking.
Generally speaking, it’s best to contact the property host if you need additional clarification regarding specific cancellation terms. If you are worried about possibly having to cancel your booking less than two weeks before your scheduled stay, then the property owner may also be willing to negotiate custom terms with you directly.
