💳 Advance Payment Policy
To confirm your reservation at Your Choice Homestay, a minimum advance payment is required at the time of booking:
- A minimum advance of ₹200 is required to secure your booking.
- The remaining balance is to be paid directly at the property during check-in.
- All online payments are processed securely through Razorpay, our trusted payment gateway.
- You will receive a booking confirmation via email and/or WhatsApp once the advance payment is received.
💡 Note: We accept UPI, debit cards, credit cards, net banking, and wallets through Razorpay for online advance payments. Cash payments are accepted at the property for the remaining balance.
📋 Cancellation Policy
We understand that plans can change. Our cancellation policy for the advance payment is as follows:

| 3 – 7 days before check-in | ◐ 50% refund of advance |
| Less than 3 days before check-in | ✗ No refund |
| No-show (failure to arrive) | ✗ No refund |
The cancellation date is determined by the date and time we receive your cancellation request, not the date you send it. All times are in Indian Standard Time (IST).
