Group bookings - key facts and discounts The following policy is the Group Terms and Conditions of booking, that must be read in conjunction with Customer Terms & Conditions that are accepted for all bookings submitted to Monastery Stays
As we are dealing with a different market sector, which doesn't pay agency commissions, discount or understand wholesale pricing etc we have an alternative charging mechanism for group bookings.
Group Bookings - Key Facts
Do we organise group bookings? Yes we do.
What is a group? Ten (10) or more persons staying together in a monastery or convent guest house, when they book as one Travel Plan.
Is any discount or rebate available? Yes a 10% discount or rebate is available for group bookings upon confirmation of a Travel Plan.
How is the 10% calculated? The discount or rebate is calculated on the Total Cost for the confirmed Travel Plan.
Who is entitled to a 10% discount or rebate? Independent group reservation/bookings arranged through www.monasterystays.com booking service.
Separate commercial arrangements exist for Travel Agents registered with Monastery Stays and are not able to be combined with this offer to independent groups.
Travel Agents registered with Monastery Stays who are organising groups should contact us to discuss their requirements further.
Payment of group discount - how does it occur? Once the Travel Plan is confirmed we will make a rebate equal to 10% of the Total Cost, by way of a return payment to you against the completed Pay Now transaction.
Will the terms and conditions be the same for groups as they are for individual booking? Yes - with the possibility that due to the number of people the monastery or convent guest house may ask for additional deposits and progress payments. You should read the Customer Terms & Conditions and the rest of these Frequently Asked Questions as they pertain to booking.
Is the coach driver, tour leader etc provided with free accommodation? Generally not unless the group exceeds 20 persons, when sometimes one place is provided free, but even that cannot be guaranteed. Don’t use this in your calculations but accept it as a bonus if we can organise it for you.
Are evening meals available? No not all monasteries and convent guest houses provide evening or lunch. If you wish to receive this service please mention it when submitting your Travel Plan - this will be quoted separately and paid for by you directly to the monastery in due course.
Is breakfast included in the Price? Breakfast inclusions are noted on the website for each monastery within the 'Making a booking' section where you will see the Room Prices.
