Refund Policy
We believe in complete transparency. Here is exactly how refunds are processed when a booking is modified or cancelled.
When Are Refunds Applicable?
Refund eligibility depends on how far in advance you cancel before your check-in date. The table below outlines what you are entitled to in each scenario.
| Cancellation Window | Refund Amount | Status |
|---|---|---|
| More than 14 days before check-in | 100% of booking amount | Full Refund |
| 7 to 14 days before check-in | 50% of booking amount | Partial Refund |
| Less than 7 days before check-in | Non-refundable | No Refund |
| No-show (no prior notice) | Full amount forfeited | Forfeited |
Cancellation windows are calculated from check-in date at 12:00 PM IST unless stated otherwise at booking.
How Refunds Are Processed
- All approved refunds are credited to the original payment source only — the same card, UPI, net banking, or wallet used at booking.
- Refunds are initiated within 5–7 working days from the date your cancellation is confirmed by our team.
- A confirmation is sent to your registered email address and WhatsApp number once the refund is initiated.
- Actual credit may take an additional 3–5 business days depending on your bank or payment provider — this is outside our control.
- Refunds will not be issued in cash, via a different bank account, or to any third-party payment method.
Applicable Deductions
- Any administrative or villa-specific cancellation fees will be deducted from the refundable amount before processing.
- Payment gateway or transaction charges incurred at booking are non-refundable, regardless of the cancellation window.
- For partial payment bookings, refunds apply only to the amount actually paid, minus applicable deductions.
When Refunds Are Not Applicable
- Bookings under special offers, promotional rates, flash sales, or last-minute deals are non-refundable. This is always stated clearly at the time of booking.
- Cancellations during peak seasons, long weekends, and festive periods (Diwali, Christmas, New Year, Holi, etc.) may follow stricter villa-specific non-refundable terms.
- No-shows — guests who do not arrive without prior written notice — forfeit the full booking amount.
- Early check-outs are non-refundable for the unused nights.
Changing Your Booking Dates
- Date modification requests are subject to villa availability at the time of the request.
- If revised dates carry a higher tariff, the difference must be paid before the modification is confirmed.
- Modified bookings are governed by the terms applicable to the new dates, including updated cancellation or refund conditions.
- Modification requests must be submitted at least 72 hours before the original check-in date.
Our team responds within 2 hours on WhatsApp and within 24 hours by email. Please keep your booking ID handy when you reach out.
