Our Policies
Providing flexibility & peace of mind
Cancellation Policy
We understand that sometimes travel plans change, and we are committed to being as flexible as possible with our cancellation policy. Our standard policy allows for cancellations up to 15 days before your scheduled arrival date with a full refund of any deposit or pre-payment made. Any cancellation within the 14 day window will not be refunded, but we will allow booking date changes up to 7 days before checkin. The new booking dates must be within six months of the original booking.
We recognize that unforeseen circumstances such as flight cancellations may arise that are out of your control. In the event of a flight cancellation that impacts your ability to arrive at the hotel as scheduled, we will allow for a hotel credit to be issued to you in lieu of a refund, provided that you inform us of the cancellation within 48 hours of the cancellation. The hotel credit can be used towards a future stay at our hotel within 6 months of the date of issue. The booking can also be transferred to another person to use within 6 months of the date of issue.
To request a cancellation or to notify us of a flight cancellation, please contact our reservations team via phone or email as soon as possible. Please be prepared to provide documentation of your flight cancellation to help us process your request quickly. We also monitor flight status for flights going in and out of Skardu, so will get updates on the local flight status.
In the event of a flight cancellation on your check-out day, we will try our best to accommodate you at Khoj should you desire to stay additional nights, but this will be entirely dependent on availability.
