Can I cancel or modify my booking?

Cancellation and modification policies for bookings made through HostelWorld.com can vary significantly depending on the specific hostel and the rate type you selected when making your reservation. Generally, most hostels have outlined their cancellation policies on the booking page before you confirm your reservation. It is important to review these details carefully, as they will provide information on whether you can cancel or modify your booking and any associated fees. In many cases, you may have the option to cancel your booking free of charge up to a certain number of days before your scheduled arrival. However, some reservations, especially promotional rates or last-minute bookings, could be non-refundable. If you need to modify your booking, such as changing the dates or number of guests, you will usually need to contact the hostel directly, as HostelWorld.com itself does not manage these changes on behalf of the hostels. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, you should check your booking confirmation email and the specific terms mentioned on the HostelWorld.com website. Additionally, if you wish to make modifications or cancellations, the current web page will often provide the necessary steps or contact information to facilitate these changes with the hostel. Always ensure to act within the specified time frames to avoid potential charges or complications.
