Canceling a trip booked through TripAdvisor is extremely simple, but because the process varies depending on where and how you booked, it's easy to get confused. Here are the steps to cancel your trip with Tripadvisor.
1. Log Into Your Tripadvisor Account
To cancel your trip, log in to your Tripadvisor account and click on Cancel trip. You can find this option under Your Trips tab. Once you have clicked on the button, a new page will open where you can enter your booking reference number and select whether you want to cancel all activities associated with this booking or just one activity.
2. Click Cancel Your Trip
Locate the Cancel Your Trip button. At the top of My Trips page, select Cancel Your Trip. Once you click it, you'll be prompted to enter your email address and password for verification purposes.
3. Enter Your Booking Reference Number
Input your booking reference number in the space provided. If you don't have one, select that you don't have this number. Then enter your last name, first name and email address in the boxes that appear. If TripAdvisor can locate your reservation but it isn't showing up on its website as canceled yet, click Cancel My Trip under Cancellation Options.
4. Select a Reason
Tripadvisor will ask you to choose a reason for canceling your trip. You can select from a list of reasons that best fits your situation or leave it blank if you don't want to choose a reason.
5. Review Your Cancellation Request
Once you submit your cancellation request and TripAdvisor has processed it, you can review the details. If everything looks good, click Confirm Request. If there are any issues, contact a TripAdvisor representative via phone or email to resolve them before confirming the cancellation request.
6. Wait for an Email From Tripadvisor
You will receive an email from Tripadvisor confirming your cancellation. This email contains a link to the refund confirmation page, where to check when Tripadvisor will return your money and how much Tripadvisor will return to you.
