Booking
o Bookings/reservations are processed only on our website.
o We have a one-person per-bed policy in the private dorm rooms. Bed sharing is not allowed (with special exemptions upon the discretion of management and should be agreed upon in writing).
o Booking will only be confirmed upon receipt of full payment via bank deposit/bank transfer/PayPal/GCash (regional/international inter-bank transfer rates, and/or transaction fees may apply). Since we don’t accept credit/debit card payments yet, the credit/debit card information that you will be required to enter only allows the system to hold the reservation for you and your credit/debit card will not be charged.
o We can hold reservations for up to 2 banking days from the time payment details are given to the guest(s). Should we not receive deposit confirmation within 2 days, the reservation will be canceled.
o We do give PWD/senior citizen discounted rates to the person who owns the PWD/senior citizen ID. Kindly indicate in the guest comments that you have a PWD/senior citizen ID when you book. If you inform us about the PWD/senior citizen ID after payment is made, we will refund you the discount amount however you would have to shoulder the bank transfer fees.
Walk-ins
o Walk-in guests may be accommodated, subject to room availability
o Full payment must be made upon check-in.
Check-in
o Valid identification for all guests is required upon check-in.
o A Php500/person deposit will be collected upon registration. This shall be refunded upon return of room key and towel during check-out. (Should the guest lose the key and/or surrender a damaged and/or stained towel, the Php500 deposit shall not be returned.)
o Check-in time: Your room will be ready at 2 pm. :)
o Early check-in will be allowed if the room(s) you will be occupying is/are vacant from the previous night. Early check-in rates apply. If early check-in (or late checkout) is 12 hours or more, this is considered a full night’s stay.
