In case you are no longer available for a confirmed booking please follow the steps below:
Try to reschedule the booking. This option is available for direct bookings (instantly confirmed or yet to be confirmed), and can be used to send the guest a request to choose a new time, or date. This option can be used until 72 hours before the booking takes place, and you can find it in the Details section of the booking.
If the guest doesn’t reply within 48 hours, the reschedule request will expire, and the booking will remain confirmed.
In case you need to reschedule a booking in less than 72 hours please contact our Customer Support as indicated below.
What if the date already passed? In case you agreed with your guests to reschedule the tour to another date or time but the date, or the initial starting time, has already passed, we recommend you to block your agenda for the new time slot of this rescheduled tour. In this case we can’t modify the booking details in the system anymore.
Cancel the booking. If the guest cannot reschedule / does not reply to your rescheduling request, use the ‘Cancel’ button in the Details section of the booking. This applies to Withlocals Originals direct & partner bookings.
No need to contact our support team - the system will automatically check if another host is available, and transfer the booking to another host if possible. Both the guest and the new host will be informed automatically of the changes.
If no one else is available, the booking will be cancelled & the guest refunded.
Your agenda will automatically be blocked at the time of the cancelled booking, this way you don’t have to go into the agenda to update it.
💬 Tip Always communicate with your guests - include a message whenever rescheduling or cancelling a booking, so they feel taken care of.
