Cancellation & Refund Policy

Last Updated: January 2026

1. General Cancellation Terms

Cancellation policies vary depending on the type of service booked and the specific terms set by service providers. We strongly recommend reviewing the cancellation policy for each booking before completing your purchase. Cancellation terms are clearly displayed during the booking process and in your confirmation email.

To cancel a booking, please log into your account and navigate to "My Bookings" or contact our customer service team. Cancellation requests must be submitted before the specified deadline to be eligible for any applicable refunds. Cancellations made after the deadline may result in full or partial charges.

2. Hotel Booking Cancellations

Flexible Bookings: Cancel up to 24-48 hours before check-in for a full refund. Specific timeframes vary by property.

Non-Refundable Bookings: These bookings offer lower rates but cannot be cancelled or modified. Full payment is charged at the time of booking and is non-refundable.

Partially Refundable: Some bookings allow cancellations with a penalty fee. The cancellation charge is deducted from the refund amount.

3. Flight Booking Cancellations

Flight cancellation policies are determined by the airline and fare type. Standard economy tickets typically allow cancellations with penalties, while basic economy fares may be non-refundable. Premium and flexible fares usually offer free or low-cost cancellations.

For airline-initiated cancellations due to schedule changes or operational issues, passengers are typically entitled to a full refund or rebooking option. In case of flight disruptions, please contact the airline directly or reach out to our customer service team for assistance.

4. Tour and Activity Cancellations

Most tours and activities offer free cancellation up to 24-48 hours before the scheduled start time. Some special events or limited availability tours may have stricter cancellation policies. Weather-related cancellations initiated by the operator typically result in a full refund or alternative date.

5. Refund Processing

Approved refunds are processed within 7-14 business days after cancellation approval. The refund will be credited to the original payment method used for booking. Processing time may vary depending on your bank or payment provider. Service fees and processing charges may be non-refundable depending on the booking terms.

6. Force Majeure and Exceptional Circumstances

In cases of natural disasters, pandemics, government restrictions, or other extraordinary circumstances, special cancellation policies may apply. We work with service providers to offer flexible rebooking options or refunds when standard policies cannot be reasonably enforced. Please contact our customer service team for assistance during such situations.

Best Price Guarantee

Last Updated: January 2026

1. Our Price Commitment

We are committed to offering you the best available prices on hotel bookings, flights, tours, and travel packages. Our Best Price Guarantee means that if you find a lower price for the same booking on another website within 24 hours of your purchase, we will refund you the difference plus an additional discount as a goodwill gesture.

Our advanced pricing technology constantly monitors rates across multiple platforms to ensure you get competitive prices. We maintain partnerships with thousands of hotels, airlines, and tour operators worldwide, allowing us to negotiate exclusive deals and pass the savings on to you.

2. Eligibility Requirements

To qualify for our Best Price Guarantee, you must submit a claim within 24 hours of making your booking. The competing price must be for the exact same property, room type, check-in/check-out dates, number of guests, meal plan, and cancellation policy. The lower price must be publicly available and bookable online at the time of your claim.

Qualifying Bookings: Standard hotel rooms, flights (same airline, route, and class), tour packages with identical inclusions, and car rentals with the same vehicle category.

Exclusions: Group rates, corporate rates, member-only prices, bundled packages, opaque bookings, loyalty program rates, and prices requiring membership or subscription fees.

3. How to Submit a Claim

To submit a Best Price Guarantee claim, please contact our customer service team with your booking confirmation number and proof of the lower price. Acceptable proof includes a screenshot showing the property name, dates, room type, total price, and the competing website URL. The screenshot must include a visible timestamp.

Our team will verify the claim within 24-48 hours. If approved, the price difference plus a 10% additional discount will be credited to your original payment method or provided as a credit for future bookings, based on your preference. The verification process may require additional documentation.

4. Price Comparison Methodology

When comparing prices, we consider the total cost including all mandatory fees and taxes. We do not include optional extras such as breakfast (unless specified in the original booking), parking, resort fees, or other add-on services. The comparison must be between identical booking conditions including cancellation flexibility and payment terms.

5. Additional Benefits

Beyond our price guarantee, we offer price drop protection on select bookings. If the price of your booking decreases before your travel date, we will automatically refund the difference. Loyalty program members enjoy additional savings, exclusive deals, and priority customer support.

We also provide 24/7 customer support to help you find the best deals, price alerts for your favorite destinations, and flexible payment options including installment plans on select bookings. Our mobile app offers app-exclusive discounts and early access to flash sales.

6. Terms and Limitations

This guarantee is subject to verification and approval by our team. We reserve the right to decline claims that do not meet the eligibility criteria or cannot be verified. The guarantee cannot be combined with other promotions or discounts. We may modify or discontinue this program at any time with appropriate notice to our users.
