Cancellation & Refund Policy

Last updated: September 2026
Note: the refund windows below are sensible starting defaults, not fixed by law. Review and adjust them to match what you can realistically offer once you're working with real hosts — for example, some hosts may need stricter terms than others.

Cancellations by the guest

Refunds for guest-initiated cancellations are based on how far in advance you cancel before your check-in date:

Time before check-inRefund
7 days or moreFull refund (100%)
3–6 daysHalf refund (50%)
Less than 72 hoursNo refund
No-showNo refund

To cancel a booking, message us on WhatsApp or email padharostays@gmail.com with your booking details. Cancellation add-ons like private chefs or decor may have separate vendor-specific cancellation terms, which we'll communicate at the time of booking.

Cancellations by Padharo Stays or the host

In the rare event we or your host need to cancel your booking (for example, due to unforeseen property issues), you will receive a full refund, and we will make reasonable efforts to help you find comparable alternative accommodation.

Refund processing time

Approved refunds are processed back to your original payment method via Razorpay and typically take 5–7 business days to reflect, depending on your bank or payment provider.

Add-ons & experiences

Cabs, tours, and celebration add-ons cancelled more than 24 hours in advance are fully refundable. Cancellations within 24 hours of the scheduled service may not be refundable, as vendors are typically confirmed and booked in advance.

Questions about a refund

If you believe a refund was processed incorrectly, or you have questions about your specific booking, contact us at padharostays@gmail.com or via WhatsApp, and we'll look into it directly.
