Sometimes, local regulations mandate that Hosts charge a tax to their guests. While we recommend Hosts to include this tax in the reservation price, some may require it to be paid directly by guests.
Notifying Guests About Taxes
We request that Hosts provide clear information about any applicable taxes in their listing descriptions and in their communication with guests before booking. If you're a guest and want to stay informed, it's a good practice to inquire with your Host about taxes in advance.
Value Added Tax (VAT):
Hekaya is obligated to collect Value Added Tax (VAT). The Tax Authority certifies that Hekaya Holidays has been registered for Value Added Tax (VAT) from an effective date of 15/11/2022 and has been given VATIN OM1100306561.
Some people might suggest chatting with others outside of hekaya, like on facebook messenger or through text messages.
Hekaya gives you choices of 2 currencies (OMR and USD) to make the reservations.
This can happen for a number of different reasons, from an expired credit card to fraud prevention.
The amount of your refund depends on your reservation’s cancellation policy and when you cancel.
If you qualify for a refund, we'll process your refund right after you cancel your booking.
We will automatically handle the refund by using the payment method you originally used to make the reservation.
We're here to simplify this process for you, and it's as easy as heading over to your Trips.
Your initial step should be to message your host, informing them of your situation and inquiring about the possibility of a refund.
To help us maintaining the system and customer service, we are charging 10% on top of the host charge and other taxes.
You can get a refund for the service fee if you cancel before the free cancellation period for your reservation expires.
Coupon codes are unique, they have an expiry date, and they can only be used once. Make sure you apply the coupon before you book.
There are a number of reasons a coupon code might not work – for instance, it could have expired or already been used.
If your host cancels a reservation you used a coupon on, your coupon code will remain active and can be used toward another reservation.
Hekaya has implemented a specific policy regarding the usage of coupons on its platform, and these terms and conditions are applicable to all users.
