This policy is applicable in addition to Rentalslew [Terms of Use]​. The Traveler Refund Policy is available to Travelers who make reservations and pay for accommodation via the Rentalslew Traveler Platform and experience a Travel Challenge (defined below).

  1. Travel Challenge

A Travel Challenge is defined as any of the following:

  2. The Accommodation listing doesn’t provide a materially accurate description or depiction about:

The size of the unit including the size and number of bedrooms, bathroom, and kitchen and other spaces.

Whether the reservation for the unit covers the entire property, shared or private room, and whether another entity such as the Host will also be using the unit during the reservation.

Special facilities or features are either not available or not functional such as bathrooms (bathtub, shower, toilet), hot tubs, pools, decks, kitchen (stove/refrigerator/sink or other important appliances), heating, or air conditional systems, electrical systems, or the location of the unit (proximity).

  2. The Traveler Refund Policy

As a Traveler, if you experience a Travel Challenge, Rentalslew will, at our discretion either (a) refund you the total amount you paid via the Rentalslew Platform, depending on the type of Travel Challenge experienced, or (b) do everything within our capabilities to find and make a reservation for another Accommodation for the unused nights on your reservation which is similar to the type of unit described in your original reservation regarding rooms, size, quality, and amenities. All the decisions of Rentalslew about the Traveler Refund Policy, including but not limited to the size of any reimbursement and the comparability of substitute accommodations, are subject to Rentalslew discretion, and final and binding on the Hosts and Travelers.
