Most bookings on Expedia are refundable if cancelled within 24-48 hours of arrival, though this depends on the hotel's individual cancellation policy, which you should check in your booking confirmation. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by going to "My Trips" and selecting your reservation. To find fully refundable hotel options, set your travel dates and use the "Fully refundable" filter.
