Cancelling Reservations

Cancelling Reservations

You can cancel a reservation at any time up until a guest checks-in. To cancel a reservation, either:


     1.      Double click the reservation on the Reservation Plan to open the Reservation Screen. At the bottom of the Reservation tab just click
            ‘Cancel Res’

     2.      Right click the reservation and select ‘Cancel Reservation’ from the Express Actions window

                        

Once you do either of these actions, GuestPoint® will open the Cancel Reservation Screen where you can  enter the reason for the cancellation. It is mandatory to enter a reason for the cancellation.


      

If you tick 'Send Cancel Confirmation Email', GuestPoint® will create a cancellation email for you to send. You can preview the email in the Email Services Screen.

     

If you are charging a cancellation fee, or you need to refund a deposit, you will need to open the reservation and go into the Room Account tab. To add a Cancellation Fee, simply add a new transaction from the transaction panel at the bottom of the screen. Usually, you would use the Room Charges charge type and change the description to Cancellation Fee. Enter the amount and click ‘Add’. You can then click ‘Make Payment’ to process the payment and bring the Room Account back to zero.

     
        

If you need to refund a deposit, click ‘Make Payment’, select the payment type and enter the refund     amount as a negative (e.g. -233.00).
