Lucky you, we are $700 out of pocket from one accommodation place that wouldn't give us a refund😥. Every other place we booked were great and so quick to refund us😁

I had this. A $2k apartment stay in Tokyo. Frustrating as everywhere else refunded. I appealed, they then said we could stay next time for free. Considering that won't happen for at least two years, if at all, I took the original rejection & claimed it on my insurance. They paid. Of course, I'd never use the free accommodation now, even if we went.

Wow! That's so messed up. Was that a cancellation fee? Everyone i know who booked flights or trips away during this time were fully refunded with the exception of a few cancellation fees of less than $100 in cases where they had the option to rebook same time next year but cancelled instead!

Mine was Tokyo. I cancelled before the borders closed. A lot of non-refundables started refunding after that happened.

Everywhere else, including the airline, just refunded.

We've booked a unit at the beach on the hols. This time I bypassed the non refundable options, even though the units were nicer, & went through an agency that would refund if Covid caused issues. I'm surprised that with so much accommodation available, offering flexibility, and people nervous about booking that anyone is non-refundable.

I have heard they aren't open

Thank you, I suspected that

Id call the place and find out, i booked a place in mandurah with a pool and they have just opened it.

Thank you- I did just that encouraged by you. Their playground is open! :) yay, appreciate it. I am in desperate need of a break, even if it means solo with the three kids.x

Yay! Where are you going? I want to take my 3 too
