  • Upon confirmation of a booking Afristay will finalise all Service Fees, the applicable taxes and any further deductions to which it is entitled.

  • In the event of a Guest wishing to cancel a confirmed booking prior to arrival at or occupation of the Accommodation, the cancellation policy indicated by the Host in the listing will apply.

  • Guests hereby acknowledge that the applicable exchange rate used for currency conversion processing may not be identical to the applicable market rate in effect at the specific time such processing occurs given that:
  • whilst Afristay updates the applicable exchange rate on a regular basis, it does not update such rate on a real-time basis; and,
  • the applicable exchange rate may include an incremental cost or margin that is not included in the applicable market rate.
