In the rare event that we need to cancel your booking due to circumstances beyond our control (natural disasters, property maintenance, etc.), we will provide a full refund or offer alternative dates at no additional cost.

2.3 How to Cancel

All cancellation requests must be submitted in writing via email to stay@tamarindresort.com or by calling our customer service at +1 (234) 567-890.

Cancellation requests must include your booking reference number and the reason for cancellation.

3. Refund Policy

3.1 Refund Processing

Refunds, when applicable, will be processed to the original payment method used for the booking. The refund amount will be calculated according to the cancellation policy outlined above.

3.2 Refund Timeline

  • Refunds will be initiated within 5-7 business days of receiving the cancellation request
  • The refunded amount will appear in your account within 7-14 business days, depending on your bank or payment provider
  • Processing times may vary for international transactions

3.3 Payment Gateway Processing

All refunds are processed through Razorpay, our payment gateway provider. The refund will be credited to the same payment method used for the original transaction (credit card, debit card, UPI, net banking, etc.).

Please note that Razorpay may charge a processing fee for refunds, which will be deducted from the refund amount. For more information, please refer to Razorpay's terms at https://razorpay.com/terms.

3.4 Partial Refunds

In case of partial cancellations (e.g., reducing the number of nights or rooms), refunds will be calculated on a pro-rata basis according to the cancellation policy.

4. Modification Policy

4.1 Date Changes

Guests may request to modify their booking dates subject to availability. Date changes requested more than 30 days before the original check-in date may be made free of charge, subject to availability and any price differences.

Date changes requested less than 30 days before check-in will be treated as a cancellation and rebooking, subject to the cancellation policy.

4.2 Room or Service Modifications

Modifications to room types or additional services may be made subject to availability and payment of any price differences. Please contact us at least 7 days before check-in for modifications.

5. Special Circumstances

5.1 Force Majeure

In cases of force majeure events (natural disasters, pandemics, government restrictions, etc.), we will work with guests to provide flexible options, including full refunds or date changes without penalty.

5.2 Medical Emergencies

Cancellations due to medical emergencies may be considered for full or partial refunds on a case-by-case basis. Supporting documentation may be required.

5.3 Travel Restrictions

If travel restrictions prevent you from reaching our property, we will offer a full refund or allow you to reschedule your booking at no additional cost.

6. Non-Refundable Bookings

Some special offers, promotional rates, or last-minute bookings may be marked as non-refundable. These bookings cannot be cancelled or modified, and no refund will be provided.

Non-refundable bookings will be clearly marked at the time of booking, and you will be required to confirm your acceptance of these terms before completing the payment.

7. Disputes and Chargebacks

If you have any concerns about your booking or refund, please contact us directly before initiating a chargeback with your bank or payment provider. We are committed to resolving all issues amicably.
