How to Cancel

  • Contact us at: [email protected].
  • Provide your booking number and reason for cancellation.
  • Refunds are processed within 7 business days via the original payment method.

Force Majeure

In force majeure events (natural disasters, pandemic), Joy Nativo will assess each case individually and may offer rebooking or a full refund.

Host Cancellations

  • If a host cancels a confirmed booking, the traveler receives a full refund.
  • Hosts who repeatedly cancel may be removed from the platform.

Platform Fee

The Joy Nativo platform fee of 15% is non-refundable on cancellation, except in cases of force majeure or cancellation by the host.

No-show and Early Departure

  • No-show. If the traveler does not arrive and did not cancel in advance, there is no refund and the host receives 50% of the booking amount.
  • Early departure. Unused nights are not refunded: the host is paid for the whole booked period.
  • Accommodation does not match the description. Tell us in writing within 24 hours of check-in β€” we will look into it and may refund the unused nights. Claims made later are not grounds for a refund.

One Policy for Everyone

This cancellation policy applies equally to every listing on the platform. Hosts do not set their own cancellation terms.
