Protection

StayCover

Booking protection for eligible Bnb Booking stays — so guests are not left without a place to sleep.

StayCover helps when a host cancels late, a listing is not as described at check-in, or you cannot access the home. Eligibility depends on the reservation and the issue reported.

StayCover - short-stay booking and hosting

What StayCover can help with

  • Late host cancellation — we help you find a similar stay or process a refund according to policy.
  • Access problems — if you cannot get into the listing and the host is unresponsive, support steps in.
  • Major listing issues — serious mismatches (for example, no working heat in winter, or missing beds for the booked occupancy) can qualify for help.
  • 24/7 support path — safety and access issues are prioritised over general questions.

StayCover is not a replacement for travel insurance. It does not cover every inconvenience, weather delay, or change of plans.

How to request help

Message your host first — many issues are resolved in minutes. If you still need help, open a support ticket from the reservation and describe the problem with photos if possible.

Have your booking ID, check-in time, and listing address ready. The faster we can verify the stay, the faster we can rebook or refund where eligible.
