Hotel Refund Policy
This policy outlines the conditions under which guests may receive a refund for hotel bookings made through our lodging app. It is designed to ensure clarity and fairness for both guests and property owners.
1 Types of Refund Policies
-
Flexible Cancellation Policy:
Guests can cancel up to 24 or 48 hours before check-in and receive a full refund. Cancellations made after this window may result in partial charges or no refund, depending on the property's terms. -
Partial Refund Policy:
Guests who cancel within a specified timeframe (e.g., 24–72 hours before check-in) may be eligible for a partial refund. The closer the cancellation is to the check-in time, the higher the cancellation fee. -
No Refund Policy:
Some bookings—especially those offered at discounted or promotional rates—are non-refundable. Cancellations under this policy result in forfeiture of the full booking amount.
2 Factors Affecting Refund Eligibility
-
Room Type:
Premium rooms or suites often have stricter cancellation and refund conditions than standard rooms. -
Rate Type:
Non-refundable and advance-purchase rates typically do not allow for cancellations or refunds. -
Time of Cancellation:
The timing of your cancellation greatly affects eligibility. The closer it is to the check-in date, the less likely a refund will be granted.
3 Standard Cancellation Windows
-
24 Hours: Full refund if cancellation is made at least 24 hours before check-in.
-
48 Hours: Cancel at least 48 hours prior to avoid penalties.
-
72 Hours: Cancellations made at least 3 days before check-in may be eligible for a full or partial refund.
-
1 Week: Some properties—especially resorts or luxury accommodations—require cancellation at least 7 days in advance for a full refund.
4 No-Show and Early Check-Outs
-
Guests who fail to check in without cancelling in advance (no-shows) are not eligible for a refund.
-
Early check-outs are generally non-refundable unless otherwise specified in the property’s terms.
5 Force Majeure or Special Circumstances
In the case of emergencies—such as natural disasters, serious illness (with proof), or government-imposed travel restrictions—guests may request a refund for special consideration. These cases will be evaluated individually by the property or our support team.
6 Third-Party Bookings
If your reservation was made through a third-party platform (e.g., Booking.com, Expedia), their refund and cancellation policies will apply. Our platform does not control the refund timelines or processes of external providers.
7 Refund Processing
-
If a refund is approved, it will be issued to the original payment method used during booking.
-
The refund will be processed by the provider who received your original payment.
-
Please note: We do not have control over—or visibility into—how long a travel provider may take to complete the refund process.
Important Note
-
Please review the refund and cancellation policy carefully before booking.
-
If your travel plans may change, consider selecting a flexible booking option for peace of mind.
-
We recommend purchasing travel insurance to help protect against unexpected cancellations or disruptions.
-
For any reservation changes or emergencies, contact the property directly or reach out to our customer support team for assistance.
-
If a refund is approved, it will be processed as described above. Delays may occur depending on the provider’s processing timeline.
