Cancellation Tripadvisor: Easy Method
What is TripAdvisor
Overview
TripAdvisor is a travel platform that lists hotels, holiday rentals, tours and attractions and hosts user reviews and ratings.
It also links to bookings through its Travel Portal, offers payment-protection features for some rentals, and has business subscription services.
Key functions
Users can search and book accommodations, read and write reviews, and subscribe to promotional or business services where available.
Cancellation and refund rights vary by product and the terms applied at booking or purchase.
How to cancel TripAdvisor
Cancel a Travel-Portal hotel booking (with Hopper CFAR)
- Sign in to your TripAdvisor Travel Portal account where the booking was made.
- Locate the reservation and choose the cancellation option before check‑in if you purchased Hopper CFAR.
- Confirm cancellation and retain confirmation details; CFAR refunds the hotel cost (CFAR fee excluded) if conditions are met.
Cancel holiday rentals or subscriptions
- For holiday rentals, contact the owner/manager first and follow the platform instructions you used to pay.
- For Business Advantage or Sponsored Placement subscriptions, cancel via your account or the billing section; refunds may be prorated if within the first 30 days.
What happens when you cancel
Access and bookings
When a booking is cancelled, access to that specific booking or service ends per the booking terms.
Account access and saved reviews remain unless you close your account separately.
Renewals and data
Subscriptions stop renewing once cancelled, subject to any remaining paid period and the service terms.
Your profile, reviews and messages are retained under TripAdvisor’s data policies unless you request account deletion.
Will I get a refund?
General policy and exceptions
Refund eligibility depends on the specific product terms at purchase - there is no general statutory 14‑day cooling‑off refund across all TripAdvisor services.
Always check the booking confirmation and the exact terms that applied to your purchase.
Verified refund rules
- Hopper CFAR: If you purchased CFAR on Travel‑Portal hotel bookings and cancel before check‑in via the Travel Portal, you are entitled to a 100% refund of the hotel cost (CFAR fee excluded), usually processed in 3 - 5 business days. Hopper CFAR terms

Your consumer rights in South Africa
Key local points

Your refund rights depend on the product terms you agreed to at the time of booking or purchase.
Remedies and escalation
- If a rental is misrepresented, you may file a claim under TripAdvisor’s Payment Protection (conditions apply).
- If you paid with a credit card and cannot resolve a refund through the operator or TripAdvisor, you may consider contacting your card issuer about a chargeback as a last resort.
Customer experiences
Positive reports
Some reports note TripAdvisor and related platforms have systems to detect fake reviews and allow users to flag suspicious content.
Content‑integrity teams and moderation tools are referenced in third‑party reviews. Example source
Negative reports
Multiple third‑party reviews and forum threads report issues with customer service, disappearing reviews, last‑minute cancellations, and refund difficulties.
Trustpilot shows a low overall score for TripAdvisor in some markets and contains many user complaints about support responsiveness. Trustpilot page
Documentation checklist
Before contacting support
- Booking confirmation and reservation number
- Payment receipts and method used (card, platform payment, etc.)
- Any messages or correspondence with the property/owner/operator
When filing a claim
- Photos or evidence of misrepresentation or property inaccessibility
- Timeline of events and dates of attempted resolution
- Any cancellation confirmations or screenshots of in‑platform cancellation
Common mistakes
Assuming a universal refund policy
A common error is expecting a single refund rule for all TripAdvisor products; in reality, each product has its own terms.
Always read the cancellation and refund terms shown during booking.
Not contacting the operator first
Users often skip contacting the owner/manager before escalating, which can delay or invalidate some protection claims.
Follow the platform’s required steps (attempt resolution with the operator) before submitting a Payment Protection claim.
