Thank you for booking with Lagoon Step Transit Hotel. We value your satisfaction and strive to provide you with a clear, fair booking experience. If, for any reason, you need to cancel, return (change), or request a refund for an online payment, this Return & Refund Policy explains how we handle those requests.
Cancellations
We accept cancellation requests for online bookings within 48 hours of payment, provided the request is made at least 24 hours before the scheduled check-in date and time.
To request a cancellation, contact us by email or phone with your booking reference / PayHere order ID, guest name, and stay dates. To be eligible, the booking must still be active and not already used (checked in or no-show).
Refunds
Once we receive your cancellation request and verify the booking, we will notify you of the status of your refund.
If your refund is approved, we will initiate a refund to your original method of payment through PayHere where applicable.
Please note that the refund amount may exclude non-refundable fees, third-party charges already incurred (such as completed airport transfers), or bank/payment-processor charges outside our control.
Changes and exchanges
If you would like to change your stay dates, room type, or guest details, please contact our team as soon as possible after booking.
We will advise whether a free modification is possible, or whether a cancellation and rebooking (subject to availability and this Refund Policy) is required.
Non-refundable items
Certain charges are non-refundable. These may include:
- Bookings cancelled less than 24 hours before check-in
- No-shows after the scheduled arrival date
- Completed airport transfers or other services already delivered
- Promotional or specially marked non-refundable rates, where stated at booking
- Payment gateway or bank fees that PayHere or your bank does not return
Failed stays and service issues
In the unfortunate event that we cannot provide the confirmed room type or a material part of your paid booking due to our error, please contact us immediately.
We will arrange a suitable alternative room or issue a refund, depending on your preference and availability.
How refunds are processed
Approved refunds are processed through PayHere back to the original payment method used at checkout whenever possible.
You are responsible for providing accurate booking and contact details so we can locate and process your request. Unless the issue is due to our error (for example, duplicate charge or incorrect booking created by us), we may require additional verification before issuing a refund.
Processing time
Refunds will typically be initiated within 7 business days after your cancellation is approved.
Please note that it may take additional time for the refund to appear in your account, depending on PayHere and your payment provider or bank.
