ROCKSTAYS LISTING CHARGE AND SERVICE CHARGE FOR HOSTS

Rockstays does not charge any commission or fee for listing or successful reservations. However, payment gateway charges applied by the payment gateway providing bank will apply before release of your payments. These charges are very similar to the deduction that your establishment faces due to method of payment selected by guests. The current rate of deduction will vary between 0.75% to 3% + Applicable Taxes depending on payment method chosen by guests. To clarify, the maximum impact for you will be 3% + Applicable Taxes for payment made by American Express.

Rockstays reiterates that these will be no commission or fee applicable to your transaction and hence there is no cost to the seller.  

BILLING POLICY

During booking, 100% of the booking amount will need to be paid. Travellers will need to pay the booking amounts to 'Rockstays Banking' which is a nodal account for payment collection facilitation. Such payments will be made immediately irrespective of the travel date. Such payments will be kept by Rockstays Banking and credited to Host’s account after completion of the stay period.

The billing will be processed by Rockstays Payments and the same shall be reflected in your banking statements.

Guests may be allowed to check-out late by Hosts subject to availability without entering into a commercial transaction without the permission of Rockstays. Any fees negotiated between Hosts and Guests as a consequence of a late checkout will incur additional fees including Rockstays Service Fees, taxes and other associated levies. Hosts understand and agree that any such agreement to allow a Guest to checkout late will not inconvenience new Guests who have booked the accommodation.

The refund due will be as per the Cancellation Polity mentioned previously. Rockstays Fees will not be refunded on cancellation and the new booking will be treated as a separate booking divorced from the previous booking while computing new fees and taxes without allowing for or provisioning for any setoffs.
