Occasionally, we may also obtain
and display customer reviews from
other third-party service
providers. Reviews may include a

All the reviews submitted by
customers are initially
auto-moderated. The reviews that
do not pass the auto-moderation
check due to various reasons, like
suspected fraud reviews,
irrelevant reviews, comments
containing profanity, etc. are
manually moderated.
While manually moderating reviews,
we make the best efforts to ensure
that the intent, meaning, or the
language of the review is not
changed. This means that neither
will the reviews get edited for
grammar, spellings, sentence
construction, use of
abbreviations, nor will it be
edited to make it more
comprehensible. We understand that
customers are not professional
writers, and any change in the
content makes the reviews look
fake and fabricated.
We make reasonable efforts to
detect fake reviews. We reserve
the right to delete and
investigate any review we have
reason to believe is fake. We may
also cease showing reviews of a
property if the management of the
property changes.
We make no representation or
warranty regarding the accuracy,
genuineness, or veracity of any
review. Anyone who relies on such
reviews does so at their own risk.

The airline tickets
available through the
Website are subject to the
terms & conditions of
the concerned airline,
including but not limited
to cancellation and refund
policies.
HolidaySeva merely acts as a
facilitator to enable the
User to book a flight
ticket. The contract of
service for utilization of
the flight is always
between the User and the
concerned airline.
Airlines retain the right
to reschedule flight
times, route, change or
cancel flights or
itineraries independent of
and without prior
intimation to HolidaySeva. As a
facilitator HolidaySeva has no
control or authority over
the logistics of the
airlines and therefore is
not liable for any loss,
direct or incidental, that
a User may incur due to
such change or
cancellation of a flight.
Different tickets on the
same airline may carry
different restrictions or
include different services
and price.
The baggage allowance on
given fare is as per the
terms decided by the
airline, and HolidaySeva has no
role to play in the same.
Some of the fares shown in
the booking flow are "hand
baggage fares" which do
not entitle the User for
free check in baggage and
therefore the User will be
required to pay separately
for check in baggage. The
prices for adding check-in
baggage to a booking may
vary from airline to
airline. The User is
advised to contact the
airlines for detailed
costs.
CODE SHARE
Some airlines enter into
"code share" agreements
with other Airlines. This
means that on certain
routes, the airline
carrier selling or
marketing the flight
ticker does not fly its
own aircraft to that
destination. Instead, it
contracts or partners with
another airline to fly to
that destination. The
partner airline is listed
as "operated by" in the
booking flow.
If your flight is a code
share, it will be
disclosed to you in the
booking process and prior
to payment.
HolidaySeva will disclose any such
code-share arrangements to
the User, only when the
ticketing airline
discloses it to HolidaySeva in the
first place.
PRICING
The total price displayed
on the Website on the
payment page usually
includes base fare,
applicable government
taxes and convenience fee.
Users are required to pay
the entire amount prior to
the confirmation of their
booking(s). In the event
the User does not pay the
entire amount, HolidaySeva
reserves its right to
cancel the booking. User
agrees to pay all
statutory taxes,
surcharges and fees, as
applicable on the date of
travel.
To
avail infant fares, the
age of the child must be
under 24 months throughout
the entire itinerary. This
includes both onward and
return journeys. If the
infant is 24 months or
above on the return
journey, User will be
required to make a
separate booking using a
child fare. Any infants or
children must be
accompanied by an adult as
per the terms of the
airlines.
TRAVEL DOCUMENTS
It shall be the sole
responsibility of the User
to ensure they are in
possession of valid travel
documents such as identity
proof, passport, visa
(including transit visa)
etc. to undertake the
travel. User agrees that
in case of inability to
travel for not carrying
valid travel documents,
HolidaySeva shall in no way be
held liable.
User understands that the
information (if any)
provided by HolidaySeva regarding
the travel documents is
only advisory in nature
and can't be considered
conclusive. The User shall
ensure checking the
requirements of travel
with the respective
airlines of the respective
jurisdictions the User may
transit through or choose
to visit.

process nor will be
obligated to provide
alternate bookings to the
User. The cancellation
penalty in such an event
shall be as per the
applicable airline rules.

to any existing booking
shall be subject to
certain charges levied by
the respective airline,
apart from the service fee
charged by HolidaySeva.
The User shall be
obligated to pay
applicable charges in the

VISA SERVICES
ROLE OF HolidaySeva AND
LIMITATION OF
LIABILITY
HolidaySeva solely acts as a
facilitator for visa
processing and is not
responsible for grant or
rejection of User(s) visa
in any manner whatsoever.
Issuance of visa is a sole
decision of concerned
Embassy.
Services
offered by HolidaySeva should not
be considered or construed
as Visa advisory or
consultancy in any manner
as it acts on the
instruction of the User..
User understands that he
is solely liable to
understand the requirement
of Visa to undertake his
travel booked for the
desired destination
country/Countries and then
instruct HolidaySeva accordingly
to initiate the Visa
application process.
HolidaySeva
role is limited to
informing the User about
the documentary
requirements for applying
for a visa of a specific
country or jurisdiction,
collecting those documents
as provided by the User,
and submitting those
documents to the
respective embassy or high
commission. Such
requirements for making a
visa application
(including, but not
limited to, documentation,
fees and time frames) are
provided by HolidaySeva on the
basis of the information
provided by the respective
embassy or
high-commission. HolidaySeva
cannot and will not advise
on the merit,
completeness, or the
suitability of the
documents, or the
likelihood of approval or
rejection of the visa
being applied for.
HolidaySeva
may also inform the
average time taken for the
processing of a visa
application by the
respective embassy or high
commission. However it is
User's responsibility to
approach HolidaySeva for
application of Visa in a
time bound manner so as to
secure Visa prior to the
date of departure.
Each
country has varying
requirements for passport
and visa. For instance,
certain nations require a
minimum number of blank
pages in succession or
certain minimum balance
period of validity of the
passport. These
requirements are
established by those
respective countries and
are subject to change
without notice. While HolidaySeva
will make best efforts to
ensure that its User(s)
are given, correct and
updated information, there
may be instances where the
requisite information is
not made available to HolidaySeva,
as a result of which HolidaySeva
may not be able to provide
the same to its customers.
In such cases, HolidaySeva will
not be held responsible
for any inaccuracy in such
information.
The
approval or rejection of
visa is at the sole
discretion of the
respective embassy or the
high commission to which
the visa application is
submitted. HolidaySeva has no role
in either assessing or
processing the visa
application. Such approval
or rejection depends on a
lot of factors, such as
the information provided
by User, current or
previous nationality,
place of application of
visa, residence, gender,
age, profession, recent
travel and religion.
On
the User's behalf, the
concerned consulate,
embassy or high
commission, may call the
User for a face to face
interview, at its sole
discretion. HolidaySeva shall have
no role to play in this
process. HolidaySeva will however
inform the User about the
date, time and any other
requirements as
communicated by the
concerned Embassy or High
Commission for the
interview.
HolidaySeva
may also appoint third
party vendors for the visa
application process for
different countries. Such
third-party vendors will
be responsible for
applying for the visa of
customers for the
respective countries they
have been appointed
for.
For visa
applications where
submission of passports is
required, HolidaySeva shall take
all necessary steps to
ensure that the passport
is safely delivered to the
User. However, HolidaySeva shall
not be held liable if the
passport is lost in
transit or misplaced by
the logistics service
provider.
The
countries for which the
visa application services
are being offered is
mentioned in the visa
section of the desktop
site and the mobile app.
The list of countries is
subject to change at the
discretion of HolidaySeva.
HolidaySeva
shall not be held liable
for the acts and omissions
of any consulate, embassy,
authorities in delaying or
not issuing the visa for
any reason whatsoever. HolidaySeva
also cannot be held liable
for any incidental
cost/expenses in
connection thereto
incurred by the User. In
certain instances, even
when a visa is issued, the
User may be denied entry
as it is the local
immigration authorities
which have a final say on
entry decision.
In
addition to Visa certain
countries may require
additional conditions to
be fulfilled. For example
an "OK TO BOARD" approval
may be required for
User(s) travelling to
Dubai. User understands
that it is the complete
discretion of the
concerned Airline/
department to grant or
reject "ok to board" and
HolidaySeva has no role to play in
this regard. HolidaySeva merely
acts as a facilitator
between the User and the
concerned department/
Airlines for application
of OK TO BOARD. User(s)
are required to provide
valid communication
details (mobile number/
email id) at the time of
applying for the Visa / OK
TO BOARD services, as
these will be the only
point of contact for
timely update on the
status of User Visa / OK
TO BOARD application by
HolidaySeva.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE

(unless otherwise stated
in the brochure) in all
parts of the world for
services rendered (e.g.
porters, coach drivers,
guides etc.). This is
however solely at the
discretion of the User.
Tipping
in Europe is something
that is expected of anyone
providing you a service,
for example, local guides,
waiters, tour manager,
porter etc. However, it is
mandatory to tip the coach
driver a nominal amount of
2 Euros for Europe and UK
and 2 Dollars for USA per
person per day for the
duration of the tour.

User carries money partly
in local currency (i.e. in
the currency of the
country where he/she is
traveling), partly in
traveler's cheques or

safe way to carry money as
they are easily cashable
for a small service fee
charged by the bank and
can be replaced if they
are stolen or lost,
provided you have the
traveler's cheque numbers
and the counterfoil.
Alternatively,
the User can carry a
travel currency card,
which is by far the safest
way to carry foreign
currency and provides 24*7
access to cash at relevant
ATMs.
