Reservation support

Booking protection

Fast claims are usually the most organized ones. Save the evidence first, then choose rebooking, refund, or issue escalation based on the stay timeline.

What to do now

Use the right next step before the issue gets harder to untangle.

Act before you improvise

Do not check into a replacement stay or accept an off-platform solution until you know what protection still applies.

Mismatch matters

Photos, amenity gaps, access issues, and cleanliness problems are easiest to resolve when they are documented on arrival.

Rebooking is time-sensitive

If a stay falls through close to check-in, faster reporting improves the chance of nearby alternatives.

Recommended order

Three actions that keep the case clear.

  1. Review the reservation details and note exactly what is wrong or what changed.
  2. Photograph access issues, missing amenities, or material listing differences immediately.
  3. Contact support through the reservation flow before booking somewhere else if you want a protected rebooking path.
Guided reading

Practical guidance for this topic.

If the host cancels close to check-in

Keep the original itinerary, travel receipts, and arrival timing in one place so rebooking options can be weighed quickly.

If the listing does not match the description

Focus on specific differences that affect whether you can stay, not minor style preferences.

When a refund is more realistic than a rebooking

If the stay is nearly over or alternatives no longer fit the itinerary, a refund path may be clearer than a rushed transfer.
