Our Refund and Returns Policy ensures fair and transparent handling of cancellations and modifications. Refunds are processed promptly based on the terms of your booking and any applicable fees.
Effective Date: 23rd October 2024.
This Refund Policy outlines the terms and conditions under which Mahabaleshwar Endeavour Pvt. Ltd. Under Go Mahabaleshwar.com processes refunds for bookings made through our platform, including hotel reservations, travel packages, and tour activities. Please review this policy carefully before making a booking. By completing a booking, you agree to the terms of this Refund Policy.
General Refund Terms
Refund eligibility and conditions may vary depending on the specific service provider (e.g., hotel, tour operator, airline) and the type of booking made. When you make a booking, you will be informed of the applicable cancellation and refund terms.
Some bookings, particularly those offered at discounted rates, are non-refundable. These bookings cannot be cancelled or modified once confirmed. You will be notified if a booking is non-refundable before finalizing the payment.
For bookings that are eligible for refunds, you must cancel within the specified cancellation period to receive a refund. The exact terms, including any fees, will be provided at the time of booking.
Hotel Booking Refunds
Cancellation Policy
Each hotel has its cancellation policy, which will be displayed during the booking process. You must adhere to the specific hotel’s cancellation terms to be eligible for a refund.
Tour Activities Refunds
Cancellation by the Customer
For tour activities, refunds are subject to the tour operator’s cancellation policy. This policy will be clearly stated when booking the activity.
Travel Packages
Package Deals: For travel packages, including hotels, and activities, refunds will depend on the individual components. If one part of the package is non-refundable, that portion will not be refunded, but other refundable components may be eligible for a refund.
Refund Process
How to Request a Refund
To request a refund, you must contact our customer support team via email at
travel@gomahabaleshwar.com or call 7720011576. Be sure to provide your booking confirmation number and details about the service you wish to cancel. All refund requests must be made within the applicable cancellation window for the booking.
Processing Time
Refunds will be processed within 2 business days from the date of approval. The time it takes for the refund to appear in your account will depend on your payment method and financial institution. Credit card refunds may take up to 10 business days.
Method of Refund
Refunds will be issued using the original payment method. If the original payment method is unavailable (e.g., an expired card), our team will contact you to arrange an alternative refund method.
Refund Fees
In some cases, processing fees, cancellation fees, or administrative fees may be deducted from the total refund amount. These fees will be communicated to you at the time of cancellation.
Non-Refundable Circumstances
No Refund for Force Majeure
In the event of force majeure (e.g., natural disasters, pandemics, governmental restrictions), we may not be able to provide refunds if the third-party provider’s policies do not allow for them. However, we will work with service providers to offer alternative arrangements where possible.
Non-Refundable Items
Certain services and add-ons, such as non-refundable deposits, booking fees, or pre-paid extras (e.g., meals, and upgrades), are non-refundable, regardless of the cancellation window.
Special Considerations
Travel Insurance
We recommend purchasing travel insurance that includes cancellation coverage, as some situations (e.g., medical emergencies, or personal circumstances) may not be covered by our refund policy but may be eligible for reimbursement through your insurance provider.
