In the AirHost Booking Engine, five cancellation policies are provided as the default policies.

There are five cancellation policies you can set.

Policy Name

Description

Strict

  • 0% cancellation fee if cancel 30 Days before check-in date

  • 100% cancellation fee if cancel less than 29 Days to check-in date

Firm

  • 0% cancellation fee if cancel 30 Days before check-in date

  • 50% cancellation fee if cancel between 14 Days to 29 Days before check-in date

  • 100% cancellation fee if cancel less than 13 Days to check-in date

Moderate

  • 0% cancellation fee if cancel 5 Days before check-in date

  • 100% cancellation fee if cancel less than 4 Days to check-in date

Relaxed

  • 0% cancellation fee if cancel 1 Days before check-in date

  • 100% cancellation fee on check-in day

No_Refund

  • No refunds from the time of booking

If the five default cancellation policies do not meet your requirements, you can also create a custom cancellation policy. Open the “Policies” page and click the “+ Add Policy” button.

Within the pop-up, you can freely set the cancellation period and cancellation fee (%). You can add up to three intermediate rules.

Once the creation is complete, the custom cancellation policy can be selected on the rate plan settings page.

Notes on cancellation policies:

  • If you modify a cancellation policy, bookings that were created more than 4 months ago will follow the latest version of the policy, not the one that was active at the time of booking.

  • Bookings created within the past 4 months will follow the cancellation policy in effect at the time of booking.

  • The booking engine does not provide a setting to waive penalty fees for cancellations made within 24 hours of booking.
