    Change of reservation
    Except under the following circumstances, all requests for change of reservation (whether for
    changing the check-in date or hostel, or for reducing the number of hostellers) will not be
    entertained once confirmation slips are issued.

    Members may change their check-in date should Typhoon Signal No.3 or above or Red/Black
    Rain Signal be hoisted on that date; overnight charges are, however, non-refundable. Members
    must complete the change of check-in date within three calendar months of the original
    check-in date, and the revised check-in date must fall within three calendar months of the
    day the above change is processed. Please telephone the HKYHA head office or directly to the
    hostel manager of the hostel concerned, for a change of booking under these circumstances.
    Kindly note that no change of check-in date will be accepted should the Typhoon or Red/Black
    Rain Signal be lowered four hours before the hostel check-in time.
