Can you cancel hotel booking online?

Answer 1

Yes, you can cancel online bookings. But it will depend on the website that you booked through. Some are 24 hour prior to arrival, others 48 and then you have the pre-paid that you can not cancel. If you do not cancel before the cut off you will be charged for one night regardless if you stay. What many people do not understand is that when making reservations online is that the hotel itself is not able to cancel the reservation for you and that you MUST cancel on the site you booked it at. When you book online the hotels themselves are charged a commission fee, even if you use their franchise main site. Recommendation: if you are traveling look up the price online, call the hotel direct and get the rates. Sometime they are better. If they are not, mention what you saw online and 8:10 time they will match it to avoid having to pay out 15% of the already reduced price. You will be able to find out what room is available and they don't have to listen to you complain about what you booked online because it was different than what the third parties sent them. Then, if you need to cancel you can call the hotel, unless there is a special event they will cancel it for you without charging you.
