Cancellation fees

[Joyce119]

Hi sir, im a host and would like to cancel a booking this morning from my guest, may i check if i or my guest will need to pay for the cancellation fee?

Trust you are well versed of the penalties for cancelling an existing booking? There are a few. If you cancel you will incurr the 'costs'. Is there any other way?

@Joyce119 if the host does the cancellation, it is not the paying of any fees they usually worry about.

The host usually worries about all the other penalties that go along with a host cancellation.
