What to look for in hotels with free cancellation in France

These rates can be cancelled free of charge up to a deadline set by the property, typically 24 to 72 hours before check-in. Booking flexibly usually costs a little more than a non-refundable rate, and whether that premium is worth paying depends entirely on how firm your plans are.

Before you book, check

The exact deadline, in the property's local time zone. We show it in full on every rate.
Whether the deadline is the same for every room in the property. It often is not.
Whether cancelling reverses the payment or leaves a credit. Card holds are released rather than refunded, which can take a few days to appear.
Whether a deposit is taken at booking or the card is only held.

The thing people get caught by

"Free cancellation" and "pay at the property" are different things and a rate can be one without the other. Read both lines on the rate, not just the green one.

Worth it for: Trips built around something that can move: a connecting flight, a match, a meeting, weather.
