Once we receive an authorised Travel Plan from you, we work for you with the monasteries, using a booking confirmation process that is thorough and quality assured.
Monastery and convent guest houses are not operating 'straight through processing', hotel style on-line booking systems - they each have their own unique 'house policies' and processes which we understand and manage. Monastery Stays follow an assured and thorough process in working for you and it takes time and the use of trained linguists.
We aim for processing for you, within the business day of submission, but please note that with Sunday as a non-commercial day for many convents and monasteries, completing your Travel Plan may take up to 72hrs. We will keep you informed after this time if we are still awaiting detail. If you have any questions during this time you should use the Contact Us facility on the website.
You provide a Travel Plan Authorisation to allow Monastery Stays to work efficiently with your Preference order Travel Plan.
If your first Preference is not available, we move to the next and so on until we either source a booking or exhaust all Preferences provided for a Stay.
We process all Stays on your Travel Plan before completing it to you, so you can build a Travel Plan with one Stay or several.
You either get a booking at a guest house from the Preferences authorised on your Travel Plan or you get that authorisation released and can try again.
No Booking = No Charge : when you are ready to book, this is a simple to use system, with no risk to you.
If there is any change in Price, or room configuration, we will contact you for your instruction and re-authorisation if required. You will be provided with clear instruction about this at the time. This is detailed in the Customer Terms and Conditions of booking - Click here to read
Upon confirmation you are charged the Pay Now amount specific to the confirmed Preference. The Travel Plan Authorisation is released.
