Changing the actual place of stay

[Voita0]

I have booked an apartment and I would like to change it for a different one (both from the same host). How can i do it? Thank you.

Useally the "change option" on the reservation will do the job when it comes to change dates etc.:

But I do not think a guest also can request a change accommodation this way.

If not, contact the host and ask for the change.

It's not possible to do this.

Check the refund policy, if it's still possible to cancel without penalties ,you can cancel the booking and re-book the other place.

Otherwise, you would need to call the helpline for an advisor to intervene.

As a host a frequently change reservations ("change option"" by moving guests to one of my other rooms.

So IMO changing a reservation to another (by the host listed) appartment should be possibe by the host, using the "change option".

@Voita0 Message the host to see if they are willing to do this.If they are then call customer services and ask them to effect the change using the messages as proof that all are happy to do the swap.

Hi @Voita0 

@Emiel1 @Elena87 are right.

It would help if you informed the host to send you a ‘ change location request.’ 

You can’t do it on your side. 

Be mindful, the new listing price difference and the detail of the cancelation policy.
