Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline -- this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Almaty hotel for you.
