Cancellation & Refund Policy
Effective date: 25 October 2026
This Cancellation & Refund Policy ("Policy") applies to bookings made directly with Villa 19 by Habbaa ("Villa 19", "we", "us" or "our").
For bookings made through third-party platforms such as Airbnb, Booking.com, MakeMyTrip or Goibibo, the cancellation and refund terms displayed by the relevant platform at the time of booking will apply where they differ from this Policy.
1. Cancellation by the guest
For direct bookings, the following cancellation charges apply based on the time between cancellation and the scheduled check-in date:
- More than 14 days before check-in: 100% refund.
- 7 to 14 days before check-in: 50% refund.
- Under 7 days before check-in: No refund.
- No-show: No refund.
Cancellation timing. All cancellation periods are calculated according to Indian Standard Time (IST, UTC+5:30), based on the local time at Villa 19, Mangalore. A cancellation is considered received on the date and time it is successfully communicated to Villa 19 through the designated booking contact or, for third-party bookings, recorded by the applicable booking platform.
2. How to cancel
Cancellations for direct bookings must be made by contacting Villa 19 at:
- Email: reservations@habbaa.com
- Reservations: +91 80504 84123
A cancellation will be considered effective only once it has been acknowledged by Villa 19.
Guests should retain the cancellation acknowledgement for their records.
3. Refunds
- Refunds will be calculated based on the amount actually received by Villa 19 for the booking.
- Where applicable, payment gateway charges, transaction charges or other non-refundable charges may be deducted from the refund.
- Refunds will normally be processed to the original payment method.
- Approved refunds will generally be processed within 5 to 7 working days from confirmation of the cancellation and refund amount.
- The time taken for the refund to appear in the guest's account may depend on the payment provider or bank.
4. Booking changes and date modifications
- Requests to change the check-in date, check-out date or other material booking details are subject to availability and approval by Villa 19.
- A date-change request may be treated as a cancellation of the original booking and creation of a new booking, particularly where the requested change falls within a non-refundable cancellation period.
- Any difference in applicable rates, taxes or charges will be payable by the guest.
- Villa 19 may make reasonable exceptions at its discretion where circumstances warrant.
5. Early departure
- If a guest checks out earlier than the booked departure date, the unused portion of the booking will generally be non-refundable.
- Any exception will be at the discretion of Villa 19 and subject to the applicable booking conditions.
6. No-show
- If the guest does not arrive for the booked stay and has not made an approved cancellation or alternative arrangement with Villa 19, the booking will be treated as a no-show.
- No refund will be provided for a no-show.
7. Cancellation by Villa 19
- Villa 19 may cancel a confirmed booking where circumstances make it impossible or unsafe to provide the accommodation, or where the guest has provided materially false information or violated applicable booking or property policies.
- Where Villa 19 cancels a booking for reasons within its reasonable control, the guest will receive a 100% refund of the amount received for the affected booking.
- No additional compensation will ordinarily be payable beyond the refund of the amount received, unless required by applicable law.
8. Force majeure and exceptional circumstances
Where a booking is materially affected by circumstances beyond the reasonable control of Villa 19, including natural disasters, severe weather, government restrictions, civil disturbance, major utility failures, fire, public health emergencies or similar events, Villa 19 will make reasonable efforts to provide an appropriate solution.
Depending on the circumstances, this may include:
- Rescheduling the stay
- Providing a credit or alternative booking arrangement
- Providing a refund, in whole or in part
The appropriate resolution will depend on the circumstances, the nature of the event and any applicable booking or platform terms.
9. Promotional and special rates
- Certain promotional, discounted, advance-purchase or other special-rate bookings may have different cancellation or refund conditions.
- Where different conditions apply, they will be clearly communicated or displayed at the time of booking and will take precedence over the standard cancellation terms in this Policy.
10. Third-party booking platforms
- For bookings made through Airbnb, Booking.com, MakeMyTrip, Goibibo or any other third-party platform, the cancellation, refund and modification terms displayed by that platform at the time of booking will apply where they differ from this Policy.
- Any refund for such bookings will generally be processed through the relevant booking platform.
11. Security deposit
- The cancellation of a booking does not affect any separate security deposit obligations.
- Where a security deposit has been collected, it will be handled in accordance with the applicable Villa 19 booking terms and property inspection process.
- A fully refundable security deposit is collected upon check-in. Subject to property inspection following check-out, the deposit will be processed within 5 working days and returned to the original payment method.
12. Policy changes
- Villa 19 may update this Policy from time to time. The version applicable to a booking will generally be the version communicated or displayed at the time the booking was confirmed.
- Any special cancellation terms expressly agreed with a guest or imposed by a third-party booking platform will take precedence over this general Policy where applicable.
