Cancellation Policy
General Cancellation Policy
Each Experience visible on the Platform may have a different cancellation/refund policy. As a practice, Destination Europe displays such terms on the Experience landing page itself.
Important: Once a Booking is completed, it cannot be changed or cancelled with a refund, unless otherwise stated in the Listing or the Supplier Terms applicable to such Listing.
All matters concerning cancellation and modifications of Bookings are decided and/or determined by the Supplier. Given that the purchase of the Experience is a contract between the User and the Supplier, Destination Europe does not frame the terms of cancellation/modification of the Bookings or take any decision regarding cancellation/modification of the Bookings, unless agreed to the contrary between Destination Europe and the concerned Supplier.
Cancellation & Modification Process
How to Cancel or Modify a Booking
Subject to the terms of cancellation/modification set out in the Listing or Supplier Terms, User may:
- Opt to either cancel or modify a Booking; or
- Reach out to Destination Europe at the contact details specified in the Booking Confirmation to inquire about the options available for cancellation/modification of a Booking.
Destination Europe may, on receiving such a request, if required, contact the concerned Supplier and obtain information or seek confirmation before cancellation/modification of a Booking.
Refund Process
If a Booking has been cancelled/modified by User as per the terms mentioned herein and as per the cancellation terms of the Supplier, Destination Europe will, subject to receipt of the Refund Amount from the Supplier, refund the applicable amount to You.
Important Clarification: Destination Europe clarifies that under no circumstances will Destination Europe pay User the Refund Amount until Destination Europe receives it from the Supplier.
Refund Timeline
- Once Destination Europe receives the Refund Amount from the Supplier, Destination Europe will endeavour to initiate the refund within seven (7) days of receipt from the Supplier.
- As a default practice, Destination Europe processes the Refund Amount to the original source of payment.
- In case the original source of payment is unavailable, the User can choose to receive the refund in the form of Destination Europe Credits to the Destination Europe Account of the User.
Important Notes about Destination Europe Credits
- These Destination Europe Credits are neither transferable nor can be refunded or redeemed in the form of cash.
- Currently, Destination Europe Credits cannot be used partially for a booking.
- Destination Europe reserves the right to make changes to the usage terms of Destination Europe Credits, including but not limited to, value, usage, and validity without prior notice or intimation.
Promotion Codes & Special Offers
If the User makes a Booking using a promotion code, or if the User accepts a discount or special-offer price during the check-out process, it may invalidate the discount or special-offer price by cancelling/modifying the Booking. Destination Europe will process any refund to User after adjusting such discount or special offer availed by the User at the time of Booking.
No Refunds After Experience Commencement: No refunds are available once an Experience has commenced, or in respect of any Experience's package, accommodation, meals or any other Services that You have started to utilize.

Destination Europe will endeavour to communicate to the User any such changes at the earliest possible opportunity, as soon as Destination Europe becomes aware of the same.

Destination Europe's Discretionary Actions
We may decide, in our sole discretion, that it is necessary or desirable for the protection of our interests, the Supplier's interests and/or the User's interests, to withdraw our services resulting in an override of the Supplier's cancellation policy. We may also determine, in our sole discretion, to arrange for the User a refund of a part or all of the amounts charged to the User.
User Agreement
Users agree that We will have no liability for such cancellations or refunds.
