Rates / Fees / Commissions.
  We work with a different model. Basically, most of working structures are first discussed with hoteliers. Normally Guestjet.com takes 7% to 18% of total booked amount, except taxes and other charges, as commission from hoteliers on each booking made using our system. This commission is subject to our refundable policy. We will distribute commissions to our network partners from the above commissions we receive. Guests only pay remaining amount at your hotel. Hoteliers can use their own credit card verification system or they can use ours. Credit card verification will be used only for verification and reserve amount (if needed). If hoteliers want to use our credit card verification for booking, 7% of total booked amount except taxes and other charges, will be charged for each booking made, which is non refundable.
   
Refund Policy.
 

Each hotelier should supply their refund policy. Refunds to the Guests should be made on the basis of each hotel's policy. As we do not take payment from guests, we are not liable to any refund policy to the guest. Any dispute between hotel and guest must be resolved by respective bodies.
Guestjet.com refund policy for commissions as follows.:

  • If our credit card validation is used, there is no refund for the 7% commission we charged. Money will be deduced automatically from hotelier's account.
  • If guest cancels within 5 days of reservation made, we will refund 90% of commission amount.
  • if guest cancels within 48 hours, 50% of commission amount will be refunded.
  • Any cancellation beyond 48 hours will not be subjected to any refund.
  • Minimum 10% of commission amount, or $5, whichever is higher, will be held as administrative services.

   
Data Distribution
 

Hotelier's data entered from our system will only be distributed once their account is verified; whereas data will be available to the hotelier's website all the time. Static data like hotel information, photos , images, room names and details, etc. will be distributed to our network partners within 15 days from the date they are updated and verified. Data verification will be done manually by Guestjet.com before distribution to prevent any false claims, bad wording and spaming. Updated data will take some time to be displayed to our network partners. This depends on how often they update static data. Rates will be available on real time to our network partners. Data validation will be done on rates also. The first time data distribution to our network partners will take 30 to 45 days as we have to make appropriate payment gateway integration and other modifications before distribution. Hotelier's personal data like tel, fax, email and website will not be distributed to our network. A copy of email confirmation will be sent to guests with tel, fax, email and website data , when they make any bookings.
