Booking and Cancellation Policy
GoBritanya offers an unmatched flexibility for booking and cancellation terms

If you booked a semester stay - Flexible Policy applies; if you booked a short stay - Flexible Policy applies, if you booked a summer stay - Flexible Policy applies; if you booked 37 weeks or more and will check-in this June, July, November, December, January, February, March, or May - Flexible Policy applies.
