If you're experiencing issues with your booking, we're here to help. This guide covers common booking problems and how to resolve them.
Common Booking Issues
Booking issues can arise for various reasons. Here are the most common problems and their solutions:
- Payment processing errors - If your payment fails, check your payment method and billing information
- Date availability conflicts - The venue may have become unavailable after you started booking
- Confirmation email not received - Check your spam folder or contact support for a resend
- Booking modification requests - Some changes may require host approval
Cancellation and Refunds
Understanding cancellation policies is important when dealing with booking issues:
Important: Cancellation policies vary by venue
Each venue sets its own cancellation policy. You can find the specific policy for your booking in your confirmation email and booking details.
Full refunds are typically available if you cancel within the venue's specified timeframe. Partial refunds may apply for cancellations made closer to the event date.

Many booking issues can be resolved by directly contacting your host:
- Go to your Bookings page in your account
- Select the booking you need help with
- Click "Message Host" to start a conversation

Hosts typically respond within 24 hours. For urgent matters, you can also contact our support team.
