Cancellations

I) If a customer wants to cancel a confirmed booking.

If the client wants to cancel the reservation, they can do so at any time and must notify us in advance or by phone, stating their desire to do so or giving us the go-ahead to proceed. Even though we don't require full disclosure of cancellation reasons from our clients, doing so will allow us to enhance our services and better serve you in the future.The cancellation fees are effective as of the day we receive your request for cancellation from you or your tour operator, regardless of the cause. To cover our anticipated losses from the cancellation, you must pay a predetermined scale of fees if you or anyone travelling with you cancels or you cancel any services or arrangements that are part of your booking with us. The fees are a portion of the price of the cancelled agreements.

Additionally, customers who desire to choose an alternative available date may reschedule their confirmed appointments to a future date rather than cancelling and incurring cancellation fees. In contrast, no cancellations or postponements are allowed within five days of check-in.

Your refund will be processed in 30 to 60 working days.

Cancellation Charges

For all other dates, if you want to cancel your booking, we will provide a full refund if the cancellation is made 7- days before your stay (except for service charges). Also, we offer a 50% refund (except service charges) if the cancellation is before 3-days from your reservation. Unfortunately, we cannot issue a refund if you cancel within three days of your stay.
