5.1 User-Initiated Cancellations
If you wish to cancel your booking or reservation, the following terms apply:
- Cancellation Window:
- Cancellations must be made within the specified cancellation period as outlined in your booking confirmation. This period may vary depending on the service (e.g., accommodation, events, etc.). Typically, the cancellation window ranges from 24 to 72 hours before the service begins, but this will be clearly stated during the booking process.

- Cancellation Fees:
- Accommodation Bookings: If you cancel a hotel booking after the cancellation window has passed, you may incur a fee, typically a percentage of the total booking amount. For example, cancellations made within 24 hours of check-in may be subject to a 50% cancellation fee, while no-shows (failure to show up for a booked service without prior cancellation) may incur a 100% charge.
- Event Bookings: Cancellations for events, such as conferences, weddings, or other group services, may incur a non-refundable deposit and additional charges, depending on the proximity to the event date. A full refund may be granted if the cancellation occurs far enough in advance, while a partial refund or no refund may apply for cancellations made closer to the event date.
- Method of Cancellation:
- Cancellations should be made in writing or via email, using the contact details provided on the website or in your booking confirmation email. Ensure that you include your booking reference number, the date of cancellation, and any other relevant details to facilitate the process.

- Force Majeure: CSK Hospitality may cancel or reschedule a booking in the event of an unforeseen circumstance or force majeure, such as a natural disaster, war, pandemic, government-mandated lockdown, or other emergency situations beyond our control. In such cases, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you as soon as possible and offer an alternative date or a refund.
- Overbooking or Operational Issues: If CSK Hospitality overbooks a service or experiences operational difficulties (e.g., maintenance issues, staffing shortages, etc.), we will work with you to find an alternative arrangement or provide a refund. In these cases, we will notify you promptly and provide options for rescheduling or receiving a refund.
- Refunds for CSK Hospitality-Initiated Cancellations:

- Refunds for cancellations or changes will typically be processed within 7 to 14 business days from the date of cancellation. Please note that processing times may vary depending on your payment method and financial institution. Refunds for payments made via bank transfer may take longer due to inter-bank processes.
- In the case of online payments (e.g., credit/debit card), refunds will be issued to the original payment method used during the booking. CSK Hospitality is not responsible for any delays caused by third-party payment processors.
- Partial Refunds:
- If a cancellation occurs after the booking has been partially completed (e.g., services have been partially rendered or the cancellation is made outside the allowable cancellation period), a partial refund may be issued. The refund amount will be based on the amount of the service already rendered and the terms of the booking agreement.
- Refund Methods:
- Credit/Debit Card: Refunds will be credited back to the same card used for the original payment.
- Bank Transfer: For payments made via bank transfer, refunds will be issued via the same method, and users may be required to provide bank details to facilitate the refund.
- Mobile Payment: Refunds for payments made through mobile wallets or other electronic payment systems will be returned via the same system, subject to the policies of the payment provider.
- Non-Refundable Items:
- Certain fees and services may not be refundable, including but not limited to administration fees, booking fees, and non-refundable deposits. These conditions will be clearly stated during the booking process.
5.4 No-Show Policy
A no-show occurs when a user fails to show up for a booking without prior cancellation. CSK Hospitality’s policy on no-shows is as follows:
- Accommodation Bookings:
- If a guest does not show up on the scheduled date without informing CSK Hospitality in advance, a no-show fee may be charged. This fee could be the full amount of the booking, depending on the terms specified during the booking.

- For events, if a user fails to attend or inform us of their absence in advance, no refunds will be provided. The amount paid for the booking will be forfeited.
5.5 Special Circumstances for Refunds
- Health or Personal Emergencies:
