How To Cancel a Booking

If a trip can’t move forward and a refund isn’t yet needed, you can cancel the booking directly from Brindlechute.

Note: We recommend only canceling unless you're ready to issue a refund or have already issued one. If you have not refunded a trip and hit cancel, it will give you the option to execute both at once.

On a phone? Cancel is in the booking's actions menu, not the Payment Summary. See Canceling from a Phone below.


Step 1: Open the Booking

You can locate the booking from:

  • Bookings tab – Search for the client’s booking and open it directly.

  • Trip Calendar – Click the trip, then select Manage Booking to open the full booking details.

Step 2: Cancel the Trip

  1. Scroll to the Payment Summary section.

  2. At the bottom-left, click Cancel. The Confirm Cancellation window opens.

  3. Under How would you like to proceed?, choose Refund the client and cancel the booking to cancel and refund in one step, or Cancel without refund (settle balance to $0) to cancel without returning any money.

  4. If refunding, enter the Amount to refund for each client under Refund settings. The Summary shows a suggested refund: the total amount paid less fees.

  5. For confirmed bookings, check Don't send cancellation email to cancel without notifying the client.

  6. Click Confirm cancellation, or Confirm cancellation without refund.

For what each section of the window shows, see Understanding the Confirm Cancellation Window.


Canceling from a Phone

On a phone, Cancel is in the booking's actions menu, not the Payment Summary. The steps are the same on iPhone and Android.

  1. On the Trip Calendar, tap the date of the trip. The calendar switches to the day view.

  2. Tap the trip, then tap Manage Booking.

  3. On the Booking Detail page, tap the menu button at the bottom-left of the screen, next to Pay guides (if guides haven't been paid yet.)

  4. Tap Cancel. The Confirm Cancellation window opens.

  5. Under How would you like to proceed?, choose Refund the client and cancel the booking or Cancel without refund (settle balance to $0).

  6. If refunding, enter the Amount to refund for each client under Refund settings.

  7. For confirmed bookings, check Don't send cancellation email to cancel without notifying the client.

  8. Tap Confirm cancellation, or Confirm cancellation without refund.


After You Cancel

The trip comes off your calendar, scheduled charges are canceled, and the client is notified unless you chose not to email them. For the full list, see What Happens When You Cancel a Booking.
