Terms & Conditions

1. About These Terms

These Terms & Conditions apply to your use of the Mahas Homestays website and to information or enquiries submitted through the website. A confirmed accommodation booking may also be subject to additional booking terms, payment terms, cancellation terms, house rules and conditions communicated at the time of booking.

2. Website Information

We aim to keep property descriptions, amenities, photographs, pricing guidance, distances and other website information accurate and useful. Some details may change over time, and travel times or distances are approximate and can vary by route and traffic conditions.

Where there is a difference between general website information and a written booking confirmation or current quote issued for your stay, the specific confirmation or quote will apply to that booking.

3. Enquiries Are Not Booking Confirmations

Submitting an availability enquiry, opening a WhatsApp conversation or contacting Mahas Homestays does not by itself reserve an apartment. A booking is confirmed only when Mahas Homestays or the relevant booking platform expressly confirms it and any applicable booking or payment requirement has been completed.

4. Prices, Taxes and Additional Charges

Prices shown on the website are guest guidance based on the currently published rates and tax treatment. Final pricing depends on the selected property, stay dates, occupancy, number of apartments, additional guests, applicable taxes and any other charges communicated before confirmation.

Current rates or tax treatment may be updated when required. The amount stated in the final booking confirmation or accepted quote will govern that booking, subject to any lawful adjustment that must be made because of a change in tax or regulation.

5. Occupancy, Guest Details and Identification

Guests must provide accurate occupancy and guest information. Maximum occupancy limits and additional-guest rules apply to each apartment and must be followed.

Valid government-issued identification may be required for adult guests and any additional documentation reasonably required under our published house rules, booking terms or applicable law may also be requested.

6. Check-In, Check-Out and House Rules

Standard check-in is from 12:00 PM onwards and standard check-out is before 11:00 AM unless another arrangement is expressly confirmed. Early check-in or late check-out is subject to availability and may carry additional conditions or charges.

Guests must follow the house rules published on the Mahas Homestays website and any property-specific instructions provided before or during the stay. These rules form part of the stay conditions.

7. Cancellations, Changes and Refunds

Cancellation, modification, no-show and refund terms depend on the booking channel, rate plan and conditions accepted for the reservation. For bookings made through an online travel agency, the relevant platform's booking and cancellation rules may also apply.

Guests should rely on the cancellation or refund terms shown in their confirmation rather than general website content.

8. Third-Party Services and Links

The website may link to Google Maps, WhatsApp, online travel agencies, transport providers or other independent services. Those services are operated by third parties and are subject to their own terms, availability and privacy practices.

Where Mahas Homestays helps connect a guest with an independent local service provider, the provider remains responsible for the service it delivers unless Mahas Homestays expressly states otherwise in writing.

9. Guest Responsibility

• Provide accurate booking and guest information.
• Use the apartment, furnishings, common areas and facilities responsibly.
• Follow occupancy, safety, conduct and house-rule requirements.
• Report material problems promptly so the team has a reasonable opportunity to assist during the stay.
• Be responsible for loss or damage caused by the guest or members of the guest's group to the extent permitted by applicable law.

10. Availability and Service Interruptions

Mahas Homestays will make reasonable efforts to provide the booked accommodation and advertised facilities. Temporary interruptions may occur because of maintenance, utility failure, network issues, weather, government action, safety concerns or other circumstances outside reasonable control.

Where a significant issue affects a confirmed stay, we will handle it in accordance with the booking terms, applicable law and the circumstances of the case.

11. Intellectual Property

Website text, branding, layout, photographs and other original Mahas Homestays content may not be copied, republished or commercially reused without permission, except where use is permitted by law or the material belongs to a third party and is governed by that party's rights.

12. Applicable Law and Updates

These website terms are intended to operate under applicable Indian law. Nothing in these terms limits any consumer right or other right that cannot lawfully be excluded.

We may update these Terms & Conditions as the website, properties, booking process or legal requirements change. The latest version will be published on this page with an updated date.
