Failure to pay the balance may result in booking cancellation

A refundable security deposit of โ‚น2,000 - โ‚น5,000 (depending on the property) may be required at check-in. This deposit will be refunded within 3-5 business days after check-out, subject to room inspection.

50% refund of the total booking amount

  • Bank Transfer: 7-10 business days

Refund timelines may vary depending on your bank or payment provider. Please allow additional time during weekends and holidays.

Refunds will be processed to the original payment method used during booking. We do not provide refunds via alternative payment methods.

Booking Modifications

If you need to modify your booking (change dates, room type, etc.):

  • More than 7 days before check-in: Free modification (subject to availability)
  • 3-7 days before check-in: Modification fee of โ‚น500
  • Less than 3 days before check-in: Modifications not permitted; cancellation policy applies

Early Checkout

No refunds will be provided for early checkouts or unused nights. However, you may be eligible for a discount on future bookings as a gesture of goodwill.

Important Notes

  • All refund amounts are subject to deduction of payment gateway transaction charges (typically 2-3%)
  • Refunds for damaged property or policy violations will be deducted from your security deposit
  • Special promotional rates or discounted bookings may have different cancellation terms
  • Group bookings (5+ rooms) may have customized payment and cancellation policies
