General Cancellation & Refund Guidelines

• Varying Terms: Cancellation policies depend strictly on the specific rate plan, package, or promotional tier selected at the time of booking. [1]

• Standard Direct vs. Third-Party Rules:
  • For some general bookings, cancellations must be made at least 48 hours before the date of arrival to avoid penalties, though this can vary by property (such as La Mada Hotel or Fig Tree Camp).
  • Late cancellations may incur a partial charge (such as 25% of the stay), while no-shows are typically charged 100% of the total booking. [1]

• Refundable vs. Non-Refundable Rates: Certain promotional or discounted rates are non-refundable, while flexible rates allow free cancellation up to a specified window before check-in. [1, 2]

• Confirmation Requirement: Cancellations and changes should always be verified in writing or via confirmation email directly with the property or booking platform. [1]
