Volunteer pricing FAQs
Straight answers about the booking fee, cancellations, and what your stay includes.
If you cancel before your host accepts, you're never charged. Once a booking is confirmed, cancel 7 or more days before your start date and we'll refund the booking fee in full; cancellations closer than that aren't refunded. See the full cancellation policy.
If a host cancels your booking, you'll receive a full refund of your booking fee — no matter how close to your start date. We'll also help you find an alternative stay if you'd like. Our support team is here to assist with any last-minute changes.
No. The booking fee is the only fee we charge, and it covers your whole stay. You'll need to arrange your own travel to the property. Some hosts provide meals while others offer kitchen access, so check each listing for details.
Most hosts ask for around 3 hours of help per day, typically 5 days a week. Each listing sets out what's involved, so you know exactly what to expect before you apply.
It varies by host. Some provide meals as part of the exchange, while others offer kitchen access for you to cook your own food. Each listing specifies what's included, so check before applying.
Talk to your host. They're usually happy to show you how or adjust what they've asked for. If you can't sort it out between you, our support team is here to help.
