Flexibility is a major priority for travellers today. Over half of travellers who responded to a recent
Expedia Group survey said they would not book non-refundable accommodation, even if it was
discounted.*
A flexible policy can make all the difference between someone booking your listing, or another
property’s listing. On Expedia Group sites, your property will display ‘Free cancellation’ in traveller
search results. This draws attention to your listing visually, and helps you stand out from the
competition.
A refundable rate also gives travellers increased confidence to book with you, and peace of mind in
case their plans change. In a recent survey, travellers told us that the ability to cancel and get a full
refund if their plans change is one of their top considerations when booking travel.*
We recommend a 100% refund for cancellations within a short window (two days or less) before the stay date to give travellers maximum flexibility.**
