Refund & Cancellation Policy

Last updated: [DATE]

This is a starting draft with placeholder numbers — fill in the actual cancellation windows and fees you want to offer before publishing. Since real costs vary hotel-by-hotel and operator-by-operator, keep the general policy simple here and always confirm the specific terms for each booking in writing before payment.

1. General principle

Because Travloom books through third-party hotels, tour operators, and transport providers, cancellation and refund terms ultimately depend on each Supplier's own policy. We'll always share the specific cancellation terms for your exact booking before you pay, so there are no surprises.

2. Our planning fee

[Describe whether your planning/service fee, if charged separately from Supplier costs, is refundable and under what conditions — e.g. "Our planning fee is non-refundable once an itinerary has been finalised and shared, since it reflects the time spent building your quote."]

3. Typical cancellation windows

As a general guide (actual terms per booking may differ and will be confirmed in writing):

Cancellation timingTypical refund
[X+ days before travel][Full refund minus planning fee]
[X to Y days before travel][Partial refund, e.g. 50%]
[Less than X days before travel][Non-refundable]

4. Non-refundable items

Certain bookings — such as discounted flights, visa fees, and permits already processed — are typically non-refundable once confirmed, regardless of timing. We'll flag these clearly at the time of booking.

5. How refunds are processed

Approved refunds are processed to the original payment method within [X business days] of cancellation confirmation.

6. Changes instead of cancellation

If you'd rather change your dates or destination than cancel outright, let us know as early as possible — this is often possible at lower cost than a full cancellation, subject to Supplier availability.
