Are you wondering how to cancel a Best Western reservation? Or maybe you’re looking to pass on the booking to somebody else. Not a problem. We’re here to get you clued up on the Best Western cancellation policy so you know what you can and can’t do.

Sometimes, last minute changes to travel plans can leave you with non-refundable hotel bookings that you don't know what to do with. TransferTravel.com allows you to sell your reservations so you don't need to worry about wasting your money.

Best Western cancellation policy

When you book directly with Best Western, the refund policy depends on your individual booking. Go to "Check Reservations", enter your first and last name as well as your confirmation number so you can view the details of your stay and cancel the reservation if possible. Each cancellation policy varies by location so you must review your individual booking to see if you can be refunded or if you can change the date or names on the booking.

If you don't cancel your hotel reservation then you will be automatically charged for one night's stay, unless you have a pre-paid hotel reservation that you have already paid in full.

You will be charged the whole reservation unless you cancel or change your reservation within the allotted time that your individual booking cancellation policy has specified.

Fully flexible rate

With the fully flexible rate, prepayment is not needed. The Best Western cancellation policy states “Cancellations and amendments are available up to the time of the cancellation policy of each hotel which is confirmed at the time of booking, after this 1 night’s accommodation charge will be levied by the hotel.”

Saver prepaid rate

These are reduced rates where bookings are made at least 3 days in advance. The Best Western cancellation policy states “The hotel will not refund the payment in the event of a cancellation or non-arrival. No changes can be made to the booking without the hotel levying cancellation charges of the full cost of the booking.”

How to cancel a Best Western reservation

As long as your booking is within the cancellation period then you can complete the following steps to cancel your Best Western reservation:

Log in to your account and head to the main navigation
Select the ‘Check Reservations’ link
Enter your first name, last name and confirmation number
View the details of your stay and cancel your reservation

What to do with your Best Western reservation that you can’t use

If you cannot cancel your Best Western Hotel Reservation then you may be able to change the name. Most hotel bookings allow you to change the name of your booking but contact the specific Best Western to confirm this.

How to sell and transfer your Best Western reservation

80% of hotels now allow you to change the name of a guest on your booking. Like the cancellation policy, it is best to get in contact with the specific Best Western hotel you were intending to stay at to confirm this. If they offer a name change, you can sell your booking on to someone else who is looking for a great deal. TransferTravel.com offers a unique opportunity for those with non-refundable bookings that they can no longer use to transfer their travel plans and make back their money.

What to do when you sell your Best Western hotel

If you can change the name on your hotel reservation then you can list your Best Western booking on TransferTravel.com. When you are ready to sell and transfer your Best Western hotel booking to someone else, contact your hotel to swap the new buyer's details with your own. Once you have the new reservation details, ask for confirmation of this and you can upload that confirmation to the buyer on TransferTravel.com. Your money and tickets don't go to waste and another traveller can use your booking! For more information, have a read of our guide on how to sell your unwanted reservations.
