The flexibility of booking and cancellation policies for short-term accommodation can vary depending on the provider or platform. Some accommodations offer flexible booking options, allowing travellers to make changes or cancel their reservations without incurring significant fees, especially within a certain timeframe before the scheduled check-in date. However, it is important to carefully review the terms and conditions of the specific accommodation before booking to understand the cancellation policy and any associated fees.  Some accommodations may have stricter policies requiring advanced notice or penalties for cancellations or changes. If changes in travel plans are possible, choose accommodations with more flexible policies to avoid potential financial loss.
