Most three-star hotels and resorts are very helpful and cooperative with us. However, luxury four-star and five-star hotels follow their strict cancellation policies, which are available on each hotel’s website. Neljore Journeys understands the policies and challenges of all three-star, four-star, and five-star hotels and, therefore, fully cooperates with hotels to maintain their individual policies.
