Cancellations

Any cancellation fees for a booking is determined by the property.

Cancelling a Non-Refundable booking normally incurs a charge. However, you may have the option to request free cancellation when managing your booking. This sends a request to the property, who may decide to waive your cancellation fee. It is not possible to change dates for a Non-Refundable booking, though it is possible to re-book for your desired dates if your waive fees request is successful.

In the current version customers can cancel their booking via the link on the booking page and the rest depends on

the website & listing terms, e.g. if the booking is canceled after some date there may be no refund, or a partial refund, etc.

  • Guests can cancel until 5 days before check-in for a full refund
  • If you cancel after that, you won’t be paid

After you cancel a booking with us, you should receive an email confirming the cancellation. Check your inbox and spam/junk mail folders. If you don’t receive an email within 24 hours, please contact the property to confirm they got your cancellation.

When searching for the room, you should be able to find the booking conditions and the cancellation policy along with other room information.

Refunds is refer policy term, if applicable, will be processed immediately. From the process/refund date, banks may take up to 30 business days to refund this amount, or until your next billing cycle.

Refunds are processed manually (so the admin would have to take some action if the order is canceled).

You need to contact Tetamu.com via email or support form to get a refund.

Payment

For some properties there is no deposit required, and you’ll pay the amount in full when you stay at the property. It’s best to check the payment policies in your confirmation for more details.

In most cases, no action is required from you. As outlined in the payment policy for your booking, this is likely just a prepayment for all or part of the total cost.
If there is no prepayment policy, then the property may have taken a test payment from your card. This is a temporary hold, that’s used to guarantee your booking, and will be returned to you.
If you still feel the charge is unexpected, you can contact us for assistance. We can only contact the property on your behalf after you have submitted proof of charge.

You can find the payment policy in your booking confirmation, in the pricing section. This section also includes a price breakdown, and the accepted payment methods.

Properties normally request this to guarantee your booking, and the card is often used to pay when you book. If you don’t need to make a prepayment, then they may hold an amount on your card to ensure it has sufficient funds. This test payment will be returned to you.

Very likely, yes. Properties usually accept payment for the stay with a different card or cash. To confirm that paying with a different credit card is okay, contact the property.

Properties request this to confirm your reservation. You may be pre-authorised* to ensure that your credit card is valid and has sufficient funds, or in some cases, your details are used to pay for your stay when you book.
*A pre-authorisation is a temporary hold on an amount to ensure your card is valid and has sufficient funds. The amount held will be returned to your account after a certain period of time, which depends upon the property and your card provider.

Booking details

Yes, it works this way in the current version, WordPress stores orders and bookings within the same database table so there are different (subsequent) IDs, but you can ignore the order ID - it’s used as a payment receipt only. Bookings are stored separately from orders because there may be websites that don’t require booking payments.

Be sure to check your email inbox, spam and junk folders. If you still can't find your confirmation, go to menu/help and we'll resend it to you.

Room types

Pricing

All the facilities listed under the room or accommodation type are included in the price. You can also see if other things like breakfast, taxes or service charges are included when you compare different options to book. After you book, this information can also be found in your confirmation email, and you can see it when you view your bookings in your account.

The price we show is for the room,house,apartment for the entire length of the stay, unless otherwise stated in the room type and description.

In the event of a crossed-out rate, we look at the prices currently being charged by the hotel in the 30-day window around your proposed check-in date. From the prices within this window, we display the third-highest price on offer as the crossed-out rate. To ensure we are making a fair comparison, we always use the same booking conditions (meal plan, cancellation policy and room type). This means that you get the same room for a lower price compared to other check-in dates at the same time of year.

You cannot use the vouchers when booking on our website. You will have to follow the procedures described by the organisation issuing the voucher.

You can find information about a property's children policy in the “House Rules” on the property page when you book.
Added costs for children, if any, are not included in the reservation price.

If you’ve already made a booking, you can always request an extra bed or cot .
We recommend contacting the property before you arrive to make sure they have an extra bed or cot available. You can find their contact details in the confirmation email and when you view your bookings in your account.

Property policies

Check-in and check-out times differ for each property. You can find them in the "House Rules" section on the property page when you make a booking. If you've already made a booking, you can see check-in and check-out times in your confirmation email and when you log into your account.

Pet policies are always displayed on the property’s page under "House rules".

Please note that the property cannot always accommodate this request; they will be happy to let you have your room early if there is availability, but there may be nobody to welcome you if you arrive late at night at a remote apartment. It's always best to check with the property directly in this case, to avoid any disappointment.
