Overview
We understand that plans change. HOMESOUT offers three cancellation policies — Flexible, Moderate, and Strict — set by each host and clearly displayed on every property listing before you book.
Refunds are processed back to the original payment method, typically within 5–10 business days.

Flexible policy
Hosts offering the Flexible policy provide the highest cancellation flexibility:
- Full refund if cancelled at least 24 hours before check-in.
- 50% refund if cancelled less than 24 hours before check-in.
- No refund after check-in (per-night charges may still apply).

Moderate policy
The Moderate policy balances guest and host needs:
- Full refund if cancelled at least 5 days before check-in.
- 50% refund if cancelled within 5 days of check-in.
- No refund after check-in.

Strict policy
The Strict policy applies to premium and limited-availability stays:
- 50% refund if cancelled at least 7 days before check-in.
- No refund if cancelled within 7 days.

Extenuating circumstances
We may override a host's cancellation policy and issue a refund in cases of severe weather, government travel restrictions, security incidents, or major disruption beyond your control. Documentation may be required.
