What to look for in hotels with free cancellation in London

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.
