Free Cancellation, Klarna Refunds and Local Taxes: The Complete Guide
Before locking in your stay, there are three things travelers want clarified: cancellation flexibility, refund timing and what you actually pay at the final price. On trvl.gr we give clear answers to all three.
How can I find hotels with "Free Cancellation" up to the last minute?
The trvl.gr results pages include a dedicated "Free Cancellation" filter that surfaces only stays with a flexible policy. Many of them allow cancellation at no charge up to 24 hours before arrival, so you can lock in a good price now and change your mind later — full freedom over your plans.
If I cancel a booking made with Klarna, when do I get my money back?
Once the cancellation is confirmed, trvl.gr instructs Klarna to issue the refund. Klarna then automatically updates your payment plan:
- Installments already paid are refunded to your card by Klarna.
- Future installments are cancelled — you will not be charged again.
The Klarna app keeps you posted at every step, so you can see exactly where your refund is.
Are local accommodation taxes included in the price I see?
The price shown on trvl.gr always includes all mandatory taxes (VAT). Some cities (e.g. Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona) levy an additional local city tax, payable directly to the hotel at check-in/out. Whether it applies — and how much — is clearly noted in your booking details. No surprises, ever.
