About Payments
Can I pay with a credit card?
Yes, we accept all credit card (Visa, Mastercard, JCBDinners, American Express) – We process all payments via Paypal or your preferred booking agent or booking website.
What if I have to Cancel My Booking?
You
can cancel without paying a cancellation fee one month before your reservation.
A 50% charge will be incurred if cancelled is less than 1 month before your
booking date.
Why do you charge a Cancellation Fee?
We wish we did not have to charge for cancellations at all, but the reality is that a Rosetta Homestead, once the home is assigned to a booking, we will often turn down other businesses to fulfil your booking. We also then assign the cleaning and maintenance staff and resources which must be paid even if the booking is cancelled. So if a booking is cancelled we need to cover our cost.
With that principle of fairness, we have tried to be generous in our cancellation policy, and bookings cancelled before 1 month prior to the booking will incur no cost.
Why do you take a full upfront payment?
Much like ticket sales and airline seats, the house and the services must be scheduled in advance. It can generally be said that customers understand the economics behind ticket sales and airplane seating. By purchasing, they’re limiting the ability of other customers; or in other words, they are actively preventing someone else from flying or attending the show. This is the same as for Rosetta Homestead – there is only one House and to guarantee that it and the services are available for you on the dates that you have booked. However, the cost of insteadcustomer’s no-show or cancellation for hotels can be spread over many rooms and nights, whereas we would have to cover this cost to our customer, and this leads to higher prices for your stay. In the accommodation, the industry can be between 20% to 50% depending on their location and demographics, and this is not a cost we wish to calculate and pass onto our guest. So we would rather charge less per night and take full payment at the time of booking. We do offer refunds if canceled two months before date of arrival or 50% refund after that date as this allows us to still paid our Gardner and maintenance man and cleanser for the booking.
Top 5 reasons why 100% payment is better for consumers
1. More thorough decision – When everything is invoiced upfront the beginning, leading to less uncertainty of availability. This leads to a better end result that fits within the customer’s goals.
2. Convenience – One payment is easier than handling multiple payments. It’s just easier to keep up with and account for, and requires less on the customer’s part.
3. Optimizing resources – Paying upfront is the equivalent to “Going Green” in the business world. Companies can optimize their workforce and dedicated a larger percentage of their resources to projects instead of double billing & accounting.
4. Better Service – 99.9% of businesses are honest, very concerned with their reputation, and aim to win long-term customer support. When businesses mess up, will likely refund without hesitation and move into retention mode. A customer’s money today is valuable, but that customer over a lifetime is worth many times more. When a customer only pays a percentage of the total bill, the business has less incentive to treat them like royalty. And, under some theories, the business didn’t mess up “as bad” simply because the customer only paid a percentage of the total bill.
5. Full payment means: We firmly believe you’ll be satisfied – Hoping this explains why we take 100% at the time of booking
