Flexible cancellation policies

Properties that set up a Flexible 1-day cancellation policy during registration were on average 91% more likely to be booked during the first few weeks, compared to properties with strict cancellation policies.

Setting up cancellation policies

Properties that implemented a Flexible 5-day cancellation policy during registration were on average 75% more likely to be booked.

To set this up with Connectivity Solutions, properties should set new rate plans that will have a different policy setup before they add cancellation policies on a property-level. They can also set rate-level policies and assign them to a room type.
