Cancellation policy of a booking, for owners and providers

If the booking is canceled by the owner / provider, KooKooning fully reimburses the travelers.
As the owner / provider, you will not receive any payment for said booking.
There will be exceptions for the cases listed and described below:

"Special cases"

In the rare event of force majeure, you may need to cancel a previously confirmed reservation. In this case, the cancellation penalties stipulated in our terms and conditions will not apply, and your KooKooning account will not be impacted. Such cases are subject to appropriate documentation, and include among others:

  • A family death
  • A serious illness of the host or a family member
  • A natural disaster in the country
  • Political unrest in the country
  • A disaster in the accommodation
  • Maintenance issues that affect the ability to host travelers

You will have to explain the cancellation of your booking by sending us the necessary documents testifying your situation.

The behavior of a traveler before or at their arrival created suspicion causing you to cancel the reservation. In this case, you must clearly describe the situation in the text field available at the time of the cancellation (or contact us directly, stating the name of your accommodation and the affected booking).
