Refund FAQs

Why is my refund taking longer than expected?

Refund processing times can vary based on your bank or payment provider. While we process refunds immediately on our end, it can take additional time for the funds to appear in your account due to banking procedures.

Can I get a refund if I'm dissatisfied with my stay?

We address service issues on a case-by-case basis. If you experience significant problems during your stay, please report them immediately to our staff. We'll work to resolve the issue and may offer partial refunds for genuine service failures.

What if I paid cash but want a refund to my bank account?

For cash payments, we process refunds via bank transfer. You'll need to provide your bank account details (account number, IFSC code, and account holder name) for us to process the refund.

Will I receive a confirmation when my refund is processed?

Yes, you'll receive an email confirmation once your refund has been processed from our end. This email will include the refund amount and expected timeline for the funds to reach your account.
