Refund and Cancellation Policy
All room reservations made through the website, phone, or third-party platforms are considered confirmed only after full or partial payment is successfully received and a confirmation message or receipt is issued by Shanem Construction & Real Estate.
Guests are advised to review their booking details carefully before confirming payment.
Guests may cancel their reservation under the following conditions:
- a) Free Cancellation
Cancellations made at least 24 hours before the scheduled check-in date will qualify for a full refund of the amount paid. - b) Late Cancellation
Cancellations made within 48 hours of the check-in date may be subject to a cancellation fee of up to 40% of the total booking amount. - c) Same-Day Cancellation / No-Show
If a guest cancels on the day of check-in or fails to arrive without prior notice, the booking will be treated as a No-Show, and no refund will be issued.
Eligible refunds will be processed using the same payment method used for the original booking, unless otherwise agreed.
Refund processing times may vary depending on the payment provider:
- Mobile Money: 1–3 business days
- Bank Cards (Visa/Mastercard): 3–7 business days
- Bank Transfer: 3–5 business days
Guests may request to reschedule or modify their reservation at least 24 hours before check-in, subject to room availability.
Any difference in room rates or additional services may require extra payment.
If a guest decides to check out earlier than the confirmed departure date, refunds for unused nights are not guaranteed and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by management.
In the unlikely event that Shanem Construction & Real Estate cannot provide the reserved accommodation due to circumstances beyond control (maintenance issues, emergencies, or operational challenges), guests will be offered:
- A full refund, or
- Alternative accommodation, where available.
