Can I request an early check-in or late check-out?
You may contact the property to request early check-in or late check-out. These requests depend on availability and hotel policy, and additional charges may apply.
What should I do if I do not receive my booking confirmation?
Check your email, SMS, and spam folder, if applicable. If the booking status remains unclear after payment, contact Cloudstay support with your booking reference and payment details. Avoid making a duplicate booking until the original reservation has been checked.

Refund eligibility and processing time depend on the booking's cancellation terms, payment status, and payment provider. Once a refund is approved and initiated, the time taken for the funds to appear depends on the relevant payment method and bank.
Does the hotel price include taxes?
The price breakdown displayed during booking should indicate applicable taxes and charges. Review the final payable amount and any property-specific fees before confirming your reservation.

Can I cancel my hotel booking?
Cancellation depends on the conditions of your selected room and booking. Check the cancellation policy in your booking details or voucher before requesting cancellation.

Changes depend on the property's availability, supplier rules, and the terms of your reservation. Contact Cloudstay support to check whether the requested modification is possible. A price difference or additional charge may apply.
What happens if I do not arrive at the hotel?
Failure to arrive without cancelling your reservation may be treated as a no-show. Applicable cancellation or no-show charges depend on the booking conditions.
