Changing a reservation before your trip

Last updated : 30 May 2024

Changing the experience date is allowed as long as it is allowed by the host. On your experience page can you find out the change policy of your experience before you book. 

Changing your dates 

  1. Go to Trips and then click the trip you want to change.
  2. Click Change reservation.
  3. Change the dates of your experience. The change will be made automatically if your reservation allows the change or if not, your request will be sent to the host and the host will have to accept any changes submitted. If your host doesn't accept, try sending them a message reminding them to review your alteration request.
  4. Review your changes, then click Send request.
  5. Once you send the request, the host will receive a notification to approve or decline your request 

Please read more about our change policy

How it works

Depending on the host’s policy and the availability of other options, changing the dates of your experience may affect the rate. If the change is allowed, you will automatically be provided with the options available. 

The original total and the new total will be shown before you submit your request for the alteration. Once the host accepts, the change will be processed.

You’ll be charged or refunded, if necessary, and this will also be shown before you confirm the change.

If the host declines your request or doesn’t respond, your reservation will stay the same.

Other details

Here are a few other things to keep in mind when making a change request:

  • Change can not be made in the number of the guest reserved. 
  • You can’t make changes if your checkout date is in the past.
  • Once changes have been made, any later changes must go through the process outlined above as a new request.
