Life happens — and if your plans change, Buenro gives you options to exit a group booking depending on the status of the reservation.


1. Can I Leave Before the Booking Is Confirmed?

Yes. If the group hasn’t completed and the booking is still pending:

  • You can leave the group at any time from the Booking Dashboard

  • Your payment authorisation will be released

  • No cancellation fees apply

  • The remaining group members can continue without you

This applies to both Guests and +1s.


2. What If the Booking Is Already Confirmed?

If the group is full and the booking has been confirmed:

  • Cancellation is subject to the Host/Property Manager’s cancellation policy

  • You may not receive a full refund, depending on the timing and policy terms

  • Check your booking confirmation or the property listing for the specific rules that apply


3. Can a +1 Cancel Independently?

Yes — but only before the booking is confirmed.

After confirmation:

  • The +1 must coordinate with their Inviter

  • The Inviter remains financially responsible for their +1’s share, even if the +1 drops out


4. What Happens to the Group If I Cancel?

Before confirmation:

  • Your spot opens up for someone else

  • The Curator is notified and may re-invite another person

After confirmation:

  • The booking continues without you

  • Your space or room may go unclaimed unless someone new joins

  • Any refund depends on the Property Manager’s cancellation policy


5. How Do I Cancel?

In the app:

  1. Go to your Booking Dashboard / Tap on your profile see your Trip

  2. Select the relevant reservation

  3. Select “Cancel Reservation”

  4. Confirm your decision

Buenro will send you a confirmation and release your payment hold (if still pending).
