You agree to comply with the following guidelines for Experiences when using our Services. Depending on whether you are a Host or Traveler, you also agree to comply with the Host and Traveler guidelines available at https://www.worldpackers.com/terms/host_traveler_guidelines.
Last Updated: May 28, 2026
If you are using the Service for an Experience, then these additional terms apply:
After Traveler's application for an Experience has been accepted by the Host, the Host and Traveler will enter into an agreement setting forth the terms and conditions for the Accommodation ("Accommodation Agreement"), which will not conflict with anything contained in these Terms or any guidelines. Worldpackers will not be a third-party beneficiary to any Accommodation Agreement, and will not be responsible for any disputes arising out of such Accommodation Agreement.
Hosts may set prices for each Experience that a Host Posts to the Service. When a Host accepts a Traveler's application for an Experience, Traveler will pay Worldpackers all fees stated in the Experience within the time periods specified by the Host. After receiving payment from Traveler for the Experience, Worldpackers will remit such amounts to the Host within 30 days.
Hosts and Travelers are responsible for any changes to the Accommodation that they make through the Service. Except as set forth in these Terms, we are not responsible for confirmations or cancellations of any Accommodation.
Travelers may cancel a confirmed Accommodation at any time by informing the Host on the Service. If a Traveler cancels an Accommodation less than 7 days before the date specified in the Experience, the Traveler will automatically get a 1-star rating.
Hosts may also cancel an Experience at any time, but (i) a notice that Host cancelled an Accommodation will be publicly stated on the Host's profile; (ii) Host may forfeit the eligibility to become a top Host on the Service for a period of 6 months from the date of the most recent cancellation; and (iii) if there are 3 or more cancellation within 30 days prior to start date within a year, we may deactivate Host's account. In case of extenuating circumstances, such as natural disasters, endemic diseases, serious damage to accommodation or changes in the visa or passport requirements of the country, Host may contact us to review the trip cancellation record in Host's account.
In certain circumstances, we may decide, in our sole discretion, that it is necessary to cancel an Accommodation and make appropriate arrangements to notify both Hosts and Travelers as soon as possible. This may occur (i) when Worldpackers believes in good faith, taking into account the legitimate interests of both parties, that it is necessary to avoid significant losses to Worldpackers, other users, third parties, or property, or (ii) for any of the reasons set forth in these Terms.
If a Host cancels a Traveler's Accommodation within 30 days prior to the start date, we will use reasonable efforts to help Traveler find a different Host within the travel period shown on the trip confirmation, but cannot guarantee that a replacement Accommodation will be available. If there is no availability in the current destination, Worldpackers reserves the right to find Hosts in alternative cities or positions that differ from the position described in the Experience. Worldpackers is not responsible nor covers the transportation costs or other similar costs if there is a need to change the destination city during the relocation process.
If you are participating in an Internship on the Service, the following terms apply:
You must meet the requirements stated on the Internships' program selected, such as languages, certifications and/or any other information requested by Worldpackers in order to confirm your Internship. To participate in an Internship, you must interview with a Worldpacker's team member to identify which available internship opportunities would be the best match with your interests. You will not need to make any payments for an Internship prior to acceptance into the particular Internship. Worldpackers reserves the right to refuse acceptance for participation in an Internship, in its sole discretion. Traveler will provide all documentation, including Travel Insurance (as defined below), flight information, passport number, dietary restriction and allergies, criminal record, or other documentation required for the Internship upon the dates set forth on the Service.
Worldpackers reserves the right to remove Travelers from an Internship at any time, upon notice, if it is discovered that you have provided untruthful, inaccurate, or incomplete information. In such cases, Travelers will not be entitled to a refund or compensation for their removal. Hosts and third-party partners can dismiss Travelers from the Internship, at any time and without refund, if a Traveler causes harm to themselves, others, or the Internship.
Travelers are responsible for paying both registration fees and program fees for the specific Internship within the deadlines set forth on the Service. If not specified on the Service, the deadline for the program fee is the earlier of 30 days from (i) the payment of the registration fee or (ii) prior to the start date listed for the Internship. If Traveler fails to pay the applicable fees, Traveler's reservation for the Internship will be canceled. Traveler is solely responsible for all costs related to accommodations, food, airfares, ground transportation, serious illnesses, accidents, and any other unforeseen travel expenses on any Internship.
For any Internship, we will provide support and address inquiries up to the date of Traveler's departure. We will provide the contact information for the Host or third-party partner. Upon Traveler's arrival in the destination country of the Internship, all support will be provided by the Host or third-party partner. We do not verify and are not responsible for any arrangements made between the Traveler and the Host or third-party partner. We encourage Travelers to report any incorrect information to [email protected] for platform quality measures.
Travelers will need to provide travel insurance ("Travel Insurance") from a third party. Worldpackers does not offer Travel Insurance. The Travel Insurance must, at a minimum, (a) cover the entire duration of the Internship, including arrival and departure dates; (b) comply with the coverage specifications provided by Worldpackers during the pre-departure phase, such as medical, repatriation and trip cancellation. Traveler must provide a copy of the Travel Insurance prior to the deadline set forth on the Service. If Traveler does not provide a copy, Worldpackers may remove Traveler from the Internship.
Travelers are responsible for obtaining or ensuring the validity of any documents necessary for travel. Travelers are responsible for complying with relevant laws and regulations of their home country, as well as the country in which the Internship takes place, including, but not limited to, laws regarding taxes, insurance, visas, and any other legal requirements related to their Internship. Travelers are responsible for making all arrangements necessary to validate the Internship for academic credit with their academic institution. Worldpackers makes no guarantee of, and has no responsibility in procuring, academic credit for participation in an Internship.
Travelers may change a confirmed Internship prior to the start date of the Internship subject to a payment consisting of the difference between the prior program fee and the program fee for a different Internship (if any); provided however that if there are 13 days or less, there is an extra fee of US $150. We will not be responsible for any reimbursements or refunds for extra costs incurred because of any modifications.
Due to extraordinary or unavoidable circumstances, the chosen Internship may present alterations. Traveler may need to make adjustments to accommodate the new Internship conditions. Such adjustments may take place at any time, and we will use reasonable efforts to notify Travelers in advance. We will not be responsible for any reimbursements or refunds for extra costs incurred because of any modifications.
