Booking and Cancellation Policy

Booking and Cancellation Policy

GoBritanya offers an unmatched flexibility for booking and cancellation terms

We have two sets of booking and cancellation terms: 1) Academic Year Policy, which applies to bookings commencing in August, September, and October 2024 for a period of 37 weeks or longer; and 2) Flexible All-Year Check-In Policy (i.e. Flexible Policy), which applies to all other bookings.

In simple words, if your booking length is 37 weeks or longer and you are checking-in this August, September, or October - Academic Year Policy applies. 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.
