Please keep in mind that if your property allows children, all channels, except VRBO, will allow at least 1 infant over capacity. An infant is considered a child younger than 2 years old.
Unfortunately, this is not something we can change or add into your property’s description, as these are the terms and conditions of the channels you have agreed to. The only way to avoid this is by changing your property to “children not allowed” this can be done by going to your ‘amenities’ clicking on ‘children’ and marking that they are not allowed.
If you would like to cancel a booking because of an infant overcapacity, please have in mind that this is considered a host cancellation, for which you will be charged cancellation penalties by the channels. For more information on penalties and host cancellation, please click here.
Please note that some channels allow more than one infant over capacity according to their terms and conditions.
Here is a brief overview of each channel’s terms and conditions:
