Cancellations & Refunds

Cancellation policies and refund procedures

Most Belvilla properties offer free cancellation within 48 hours of booking. After that, cancellation policies vary by property.

Check your specific property's policy before booking.
Can I get a refund if I need to cancel my vacation rental?
Refund eligibility depends on when you cancel and the property's cancellation policy. Cancellations within the free cancellation window receive a full refund. Later cancellations may receive partial refunds minus the cancellation fee. Travel insurance is recommended for added protection.
What happens if the owner cancels my reservation?
In the rare event of an owner cancellation, Belvilla will help you find an alternative property of equal or better value at no additional cost. If no suitable alternative is available, you'll receive a full refund within 5-7 business days.
