As the nation opens back up and begins to travel more, hotels are paying special attention to following local and national guidelines on safety and cleanliness. Here are some resources detailing how the hotel industry has responded to the Coronavirus threat, including the latest improvements being made to hotels’ cleaning, disinfecting, check in & check out procedures.

You chose a policy when you made a booking on our platform. If that policy allows a change of dates or a free cancellation, you are entitled to that. For bookings made before 6 April 2020: You may be able to change or cancel your (nonrefundable) booking for free if you cannot travel to or stay at the property as a result of implications of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, such as government travel restrictions (e.g., closed borders). This depends on several factors, including your country of origin, your destination, the date on which you made your booking, your departure date, your arrival date, and your reason for travelling. If your booking falls within the above category, the property should allow your date change request or cancellation. If you wish to cancel your booking and have already made a prepayment, the property should offer you credit or a voucher for a future stay. If you prefer to receive a refund, you may be entitled to that. For bookings made on or after 6 April 2020: All reservation cancellation policies inform the consumer to make sure this cancellation policy works for you. COVID-19 will not qualify as an extenuating circumstance. We are contractually bound to the terms and conditions on your reservation. The policy you chose and your mandatory consumer law, where applicable, is relevant.
