Policies
Our way to show how much WE care about you
Cancellation Policy
We, Ursula Hosting, are a small operation, boutique travel service. Any cancellation would greatly affect the organization. Nevertheless, we understand complications occur and our guests may need to cancel. Having this in mind, we have the following as our cancellation policy to protect both, our guests and ourselves.
SPECIAL TRIPS POLICY (Havana 2025)
​
The following policy is in place in order to cover fees by providers, and transaction and administrative fees.
​​
-
If you cancel before January 27th, 2025, you will receive a full refund, minus a cancellation fee of 10% of the total cost.
-
If you cancel between January 28th and February 27th, 2025, you will receive a 50% refund of the total cost.
-
If you cancel after February 27th, 2025, no refund can be provided.
​
​
Note: We understand unexpected things happen and believe our guests will not cancel without a valid reason (extenuating circumstances). If a valid reason is presented, we would work to rebook the abandoned spot. If the spot is rebooked, we would grant a full refund, minus the administration fee. With that said, we HIGHLY encourage you purchase travel insurance to protect your trip in the event of cancelation. Please inquire with us directly as we would be glad you set this up.

Exceptions:
​
-
Additional refund could be granted, with exception of the cancellation fee, if room(s) is reserved after cancellation by another guest for the same period of time.
-
Additional refund could be granted, with exception of the cancellation fee, if cancellation is due extenuating circumstances. Valid extenuating circumstances include:

Government-mandated obligations issued after the time of booking
Claims can only be considered after a reservation has been canceled. If you feel that your reason for cancellation falls under one of these extenuating circumstances, submit claim for consideration with valid supporting documentation no later than 14 days from the original check-in date Ursula Hosting reserves the right to grant any refund based on the claim and submitted documentation.
