At BookingMentor.com, we strive to make your booking experience seamless. However, we understand there may be occasions when cancellations and refunds are necessary. This policy outlines the terms and conditions under which refunds and cancellations are processed.
General Refund and Cancellation Terms:
- Most airline tickets, hotel bookings, tour packages, and service fees are non-refundable once confirmed.
- Cancellations must be initiated in writing via email to ensure accuracy and documentation.
- Refunds will only be considered under the following conditions:
- A cancellation request has been submitted by you and acknowledged by our team.
- The fare rules of the airline, hotel, or service provider allow cancellations and refunds.
- The booking is not classified as a "no-show", as such bookings are typically ineligible for refunds.
- Our team is able to secure waivers from suppliers to process your request.
Refund Process:
- Once a cancellation request is received, you will receive an email confirmation with a tracking/reference number. This acknowledgment does not guarantee refund eligibility or approval.
- Refund requests will be processed in the order they are received.
- Our team will liaise with suppliers (airlines, hotels, etc.) to request waivers and adhere to their rules.
- The refund process may take 30-45 working days, excluding weekends and public holidays, from the time we receive your request.
Refund Timelines and Fees:

- Original service fees and booking fees.
- Online gateway/transaction charges.
