12. Pay@Hotel Policy

StayMyTrip offers a Pay@Hotel option for customers who prefer to make payments directly at the hotel during check-in. This policy ensures flexibility and convenience while maintaining transparency and security. Below are the terms and conditions associated with this payment method:

1. What is Pay@Hotel?

The Pay@Hotel option allows customers to reserve accommodations through StayMyTrip without making an online payment upfront. Instead, the payment is made directly to the hotel upon arrival.

2. Eligibility

  • Pay@Hotel is available only for selected hotels and properties.
  • The availability of this option is subject to the hotel's payment and booking policies.

3. Terms and Conditions

  • Booking Confirmation: Reservations made using the Pay@Hotel option are considered confirmed only if all required booking details (e.g., valid ID proof, contact information) are provided.
  • Payment at Check-in: Customers must pay the full booking amount at the time of check-in.
  • Accepted Payment Modes: Hotels may accept cash, credit/debit cards, or other local payment methods. Confirm the accepted modes with the hotel in advance.

4. Cancellation and Refunds

  • Cancellations Before Check-in: Customers can cancel without incurring charges unless otherwise specified in the hotel's cancellation policy.
  • No-Shows: Failure to check in without prior notice may lead to cancellation charges as per the hotel's policy.

5. Special Conditions

  • Holding Time: The hotel may hold your reservation only up to a specific time on the check-in date (usually 6:00 PM). Failure to arrive before this time without prior notification could result in booking cancellation.
  • Security Deposit: Some hotels may request a refundable security deposit during check-in, which will be returned upon check-out.

6. Benefits of Pay@Hotel

  • Flexible payment options.
  • No upfront payment, providing financial convenience.
  • Suitable for customers without access to online payment methods.

7. Important Notes

  • Pay@Hotel bookings may have different cancellation and refund policies than prepaid bookings. Always check the specific property's terms during the booking process.
