Cancellation policy

Cancellation terms depend on how far in advance you cancel. The exact policy for your booking is shown on the booking page before you pay, and again in your confirmation email.

Standard terms

  • More than 60 days before check-in: the deposit is refunded in full.
  • 30–60 days before: half of the deposit is refunded.
  • Less than 30 days before: the deposit is not refunded.
  • The security deposit is always returned in full — it is separate from the cancellation terms.

How to cancel

Open the booking page from the link in your confirmation email and use the cancellation option there. Your email address is verified before the cancellation goes through, so nobody else can cancel on your behalf. The amount to be refunded is shown before you confirm.

When the money arrives

Refunds are issued to the card used for payment. Turkish banks typically process them within 5–10 working days; international cards can take longer depending on your bank. We cannot speed this up once the refund has been issued on our side.

If the host cancels

If a host cannot honour a confirmed booking, you get a full refund regardless of timing, and we help you find an alternative in the same region. Hosts who cancel confirmed bookings without good reason are removed from the platform.

Changing dates instead

If your plans shift rather than fall through, email us before cancelling. Moving a booking to different dates is often possible if the villa is free, and it is usually better for you than cancelling and rebooking.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as the cancellation date?
The moment the cancellation is confirmed in the system, in Turkish time (UTC+3). Sending an email asking to cancel does not stop the clock — complete the cancellation on the booking page.
I cannot travel because my flight was cancelled.
Standard terms still apply; we are not an insurer. Travel insurance covering cancellation is worth having, particularly for high-season bookings.
Is the service fee refunded?
Yes. Whatever portion of your payment is refunded includes the proportional service fee. We do not keep a fee on cancelled bookings.
