Secret Escapes Cancellation Policy

How Can I Cancel?

Secret Escapes' cancellation policy allows you to cancel your accommodation 8 to 30 days before the check-in date to qualify for a full refund. If you booked flights to a 'Refundable' hotel, you can find out all about it.

Cancelling your 'Refundable' booking is now made easier. You currently can cancel upcoming 'Refundable' bookings by yourself. All you have to do is:

1. Log in to your account
2. Select the reservation you wish to cancel under My Bookings
3. Alongside the reservation, you will see the option to cancel.

If you encounter challenges when cancelling your booking, visit their contact us page, and at the bottom, choose 'Cancellation Request'.

Do I Qualify for the 8 or 30-day Cancellation Period?

To better understand the cancellation terms of your booking, please review your booking confirmation. You can get the confirmation in your emails.

Is It Possible to Cancel My Hotel Booking within 8 or 30 Days of Check-In?

The unfortunate news is that you cannot cancel your hotel booking anytime outside the cancellation window. That said, you can discuss this with your insurance provider to evaluate your options. If your 'Refundable' hotel booking was affected by the pandemic, our team will contact you to discuss your options.

We also understand that you may at times need to cancel your booking on short notice due to unforeseeable and unavoidable reasons. If this happens, use this form to reach out to us, and our team will get in touch with you as soon as possible.

How Will I Get a Refund After Cancelling My Booking?

Suppose you booked a 'Refundable' hotel-only booking and changed your mind about travelling. In this case, you can now do the cancellation yourself within the cancellation window, specifying how you would wish to receive your refund.

Secret Escapes will offer you two options to get your refund:

1. Your money can be transferred to a Secret Escapes credit so that you can rebook at a more convenient date, or,
2. You can opt for a cash refund

If Secret Escapes has cancelled your booking due to the pandemic, you will also get a refund using any of the listed options. If you do not receive an email, please check your spam folder.
