Can I cancel a non-refundable booking on trip1?

In short

  • You can cancel a non-refundable booking on trip1, but you forfeit the full amount paid - there's no refund by default.
  • Cancelling still releases the room - useful if you want the hotel to know you won't show up.
  • Hotels sometimes grant goodwill exceptions for medical emergencies, bereavement, or natural disasters - contact trip1 support with documentation.

What non-refundable means on trip1

A non-refundable rate is a discount the hotel offers in exchange for a guaranteed booking. If you cancel at any point - even minutes after paying - you forfeit the full amount. The label appears clearly on the rate at trip1 checkout. If you don't see "Free cancellation", assume the rate is non-refundable.

When hotels may make an exception

Properties sometimes refund non-refundable bookings for documented medical emergencies, bereavement, or natural disasters. Email trip1 support with your booking reference and supporting documents. We'll make the case to the hotel, but the final decision is theirs.

Alternatives before cancelling

  • Ask the hotel to change your dates instead of cancelling.
  • Ask if the booking can be transferred to a different guest name.
