After a SamSam M2 booking is complete, the host suddenly wants to change the terms

It’s upsetting when a host tries to change the deal after you’ve already completed a booking on SamSam M2.

“I need to raise the price a bit.”

“I’ll remove that option and proceed.”

On SamSam M2, payment completes the contract immediately, so a host asking to change terms afterward isn’t something you have to accept in principle.
Below we explain refund rules and how to handle this situation.


Why do terms change after a SamSam M2 booking is complete?

The contract is final the moment you pay

SamSam M2 doesn’t have a separate “pay deposit first” step. Once you pay, the contract is confirmed at that moment.
So a host trying to change terms after the booking is like trying to undo an already confirmed agreement.

Still, hosts sometimes try to change for personal reasons

A host might have found a guest willing to pay more, or realized they shared the wrong info and try to adjust terms later.
Either way, guests should rely on the terms confirmed at booking time as the first basis for response.


Do you have to accept a host’s term changes after a SamSam M2 booking?

A. No — you don’t have to accept them. A contract should be carried out according to the terms agreed at the time of booking.
A host unilaterally changing terms after the booking is not accepted in principle.

Oral agreements are hard to prove later

If adjustments are made by phone or in person, the host may later say, “I never said that.”
When possible, keep all conversations in chat — they serve as evidence later.

How to respond when terms change

① Capture the terms confirmed at booking (price, options, photos, etc.)

② Ask the host to confirm any proposed changes again in chat

③ If you don’t agree, insist on the original terms or request cancellation and a refund

④ If there’s no response, report to SamSam M2 customer service with chat records

Can you get a refund if the host changes terms after booking?

Yes. If a host unilaterally tries to change terms after booking, you can demand the original terms or cancel the booking and request a refund.

Reporting to customer service with your chat records makes the process smoother.
