If you make changes

Because cancellations or changes from outlet in the guest bookings disrupt guests’ plans and impact confidence in the SORTYFY community, try to host all reservations and deliver as per the booking requirements.

If you can’t and you want to cancel or change but know that if you do cancel, then penalties are involved things like a cancellation fee or a blocked calendar or blocked account temporary or permanently.

How a host cancels or rejects the booking

Airbnb guests look forward to their trips, but we understand there are times when you may need to cancel. When you do, we recommend you also send your guest a message as soon as possible.

To Cancel a reservation:

  1. Go to dashboard and check the pending bookings.
  2. Check All reservations and select the reservation you want to cancel/reject.
  3. Tap Cancel/reject booking.
  4. Select your answers to the questions that follow and tap Next.
  5. Review and tap Cancel reservation.

You may not be able to cancel active reservations or already confirmed bookings or those for which arrival is scheduled to occur within 4 hours. In those cases, you’ll need to contact us directly (Only in case of emergency).

Cancellation penalties

Cancelling a guest’s reservation can have serious implications. so we may apply penalties if the cancellation does not meet certain extenuating circumstances.

Host Cancellation Policy

Although cancellations/ejections by Hosts are rare, and some cancellations are beyond a Host’s control, cancellations by Hosts can disrupt guest plans and undermine confidence in SORTYFY. For those reasons, if the Host cancels/reject the confirmed booking, or if the Host is found to be responsible for a cancellation/rejection, SORTYFY may impose fees and other consequences.

The fees and other consequences set out in this Policy are intended to reflect the costs and other impacts of these cancellations on guests.

We will waive the fees and, in some cases, the other consequences, if the Host cancels because of Extenuating Circumstances or certain valid reasons beyond the Host’s control.

Cancellation fees
  • If a Host cancels a confirmed reservation, or if the Host is found to be responsible for a cancellation under this Policy, we will impose fees subject to a minimum cancellation fee of Rs.500 or The commission is based on the reservation amount, whichever is higher, when the reservation is canceled.
  • If the reservation is denied 4 hours or less before guest arrival time, or after Arrival, the fee is 50% of the reservation amount.

Cancellation fees are typically withheld from the next payout(s) to the Host as provided in the Payments Terms of Service. In addition to the fees and consequences set out in this Policy, Hosts who cancel, or are found responsible for a cancellation, will not receive a payout for the canceled reservation, or, if the payout has already been made, then the amount of the payout will be withheld from the next payout(s).

When a Host is found responsible for a cancellation

A Host may be responsible for a cancellation when it occurs because of conditions in the Listing that are grossly and materially different from how the Listing was described at the time of booking. In these cases, the Host will be subject to the fees and other consequences laid out in this Policy, regardless of who initiates the cancellation. Examples may include: Gross Listing inaccuracies that materially disrupt a guest experience, like advertising a live band when no live band is available for the guests.

Other things to consider

If a Host cannot honor a reservation—regardless of the reason—it’s their responsibility to cancel in a timely manner to allow their guest time to adjust their plans. A Host may not encourage the guest to cancel the reservation.

Providing false statements or materials in connection with this Policy violates our Terms of Service and may result in account termination and other consequences.

This Policy applies to cancellations that occur on or after the effective date. Any right that guests or Hosts may have to initiate legal action remains unaffected. Any changes to this Policy will be made in accordance with our Terms of Service.
