1. Introduction
Our Confidence Guarantee is designed to give you peace of mind when booking with Refined Routes. It ensures transparency, fairness, and the best available rates from our partner lodges and travel providers.
2. No Booking Fees
Refined Routes does not charge you booking fees on lodging, transfers, or any extras that are quoted as part of your itinerary.
We earn our income through commissions paid by lodges and travel partners.
If there are third-party charges directly related to processing your booking (such as credit card fees, bank transfer charges, or mandatory government taxes), these will be passed through at cost without markup.
3. Best Price Commitment
We guarantee that if you find a better publicly available rate, we will match it.
To qualify, the competing rate must apply to:
- The same lodge or hotel,
- The same room type, inclusions, and number of guests,
- The same travel dates and length of stay,
- The same booking and cancellation policies.
4. Exclusions
This Guarantee does not apply to:
- Rates from unauthorized agents, resale or auction sites, or “mystery hotel” offers.
- Promo codes, coupons, member-only discounts, or cash-back schemes.
- Package deals (e.g., bundled flights + hotel).
- Staff, corporate, or specially negotiated rates.
- Rates that cannot be independently verified at the time of booking.
- Rates quoted on websites that do not process bookings directly and instead redirect to third-party sites.
- Minor differences (less than 3% or $20 equivalent per booking).
- Errors or misprints on third-party websites.
- Bookings that have already been cancelled.
5. Per-Booking Basis
The Guarantee applies on a per-booking basis, not per night.Consecutive nights at the same lodge will be treated as one booking.Splitting a stay into multiple bookings does not qualify for additional claims.6. Verification
If you find a better rate, you must notify us before completing your booking.We may take up to 48 hours to verify the competing rate.During this period, additional price-match requests for the same booking will not be considered.Claims must be made in good faith, with the genuine intention of booking through Refined Routes.
All bookings made through Refined Routes remain subject to our standard Booking Terms & Conditions, including provisions on estimates, confirmation, cancellations, liability, and other general terms.
