Refundable Booking FAQs

Q: What is a Refundable Booking?

A: If you purchase the Refundable Booking option, you will be eligible to receive a full refund when you cancel a retreat booking for one of the many reasons covered, such as COVID-19 infection, isolation, family illness, sickness, home emergency, change of examination dates and adverse weather. Documentation must be provided when filing a claim (see below). Full Refundable Booking Terms and Conditions can be viewed at https://www.refundable.me/extended/en.

Q: How is this different from travel insurance?

A: Travel insurance will typically only cover cancellation if you purchase the “Cancel for Any Reason” additional rider within 14 – 21 days (depending on the provider) of paying your trip deposit. And the list of covered reasons for cancellation is limited. For example, most travel insurance policies won’t cover cancellation due to Covid-19, whereas Covid-19 is covered when you choose a Refundable Booking.

Q. Do I still need travel insurance if I choose a Refundable Booking?

A: Yes, we do require travel insurance for your protection during international retreats, whereas Refundable Booking is protecting you from risk of loss before the retreat begins. Travel insurance is important for medical expenses, trip interruption, lost luggage and other situations can can occur during travel.
