How to turn cancelled plans into cash by selling your hotel room

Have your plans been derailed? We're here to transform your disappointment into a great opportunity! If you're too ill to travel, your train has been cancelled, or your flight has been delayed, and you're left with a hotel booking you can't use, we're here to show you how you can turn your cancelled plans into cash by selling your hotel room.

Can you cancel a hotel room and get your money back?

You can usually cancel a hotel room reservation and receive a refund if you do so within the hotel's cancellation policy time frame.

Curious about your options for cancelling a hotel room and getting a refund? It’s as easy as checking your hotel’s cancellation policy, conveniently provided with your booking confirmation. Take a peek and see if you can get your money back or even reschedule your stay. But if you’ve booked a non-refundable hotel room (we’ve all been tempted by the lower prices) things can get a tad tricky. This term implies that you won’t be able to get a refund on this type of booking.

What is a non-refundable policy in hotels?

A non-refundable policy in hotels means that if you cancel your reservation, you won't get your money back, regardless of the circumstances. Your best option is to list your hotel room on the Plans Change marketplace.

Don’t worry if you have booked a non-refundable hotel room, we’ve got some tricks up our sleeves! First, try reaching out to your booking agent or give the hotel a ring. It’s worth a shot to see if you can get a refund or reschedule your stay. In the unfortunate event of a serious illness or family emergency, you might find the hotel is more sympathetic and has a little wiggle room to accommodate your needs. Sometimes, a heartfelt conversation with the hotel staff can work wonders. Just be prepared to spend some time on the phone, and don’t be surprised if you are required to provide documentation to back up your claim.

If you're stuck with a non-refundable hotel room you can't use, the easier and quicker option is to list it on Plans Change as a resale deal. You can do this in 4 easy steps:
