I accidentally clicked on the wrong date when booking a room. The check-in time has passed but I didn’t show up. Can I get a refund?

If the hotel you booked has a refund policy and your check-in date has passed, you may be able to get a refund. However, since different hotels and online booking platforms have different policies and regulations, it is best to contact the hotel or online booking platform where you booked directly to learn about the specific refund policy.

If you are negotiating a refund or time change with a hotel, try to be honest, explain your mistake, and ask for their understanding. You can also try to cut your losses if you negotiate with the hotel to have them sell the room on your behalf. In addition, you can also contact the Meituan platform and ask them to coordinate a refund, or file a complaint with the Consumer Protection Association.

It should be noted that if you have passed the check-in date and did not check into the hotel, you may be held liable for breach of contract, depending on the specific reservation policies and laws. Therefore, before making a reservation, it is best to carefully check the dates and confirm your needs to avoid unnecessary trouble.
