Yes, exchange rates may affect both payments and refunds if the booking currency is different from your card or bank’s local currency.
On our website, prices may sometimes be shown in your local currency for reference. However, the actual booking agreement and payment are processed in the property’s billing currency. The amount charged is therefore calculated using the exchange rate applicable on the date of payment.
If your card or bank uses a different currency from the booking or hotel currency, your bank may also apply:
its own exchange rate, and/or
currency conversion fees.
In the event of a cancellation, refunds are processed in the property’s billing currency using the exchange rate applicable on the date the refund is issued. Because exchange rates can fluctuate between the payment date and the refund date, the refunded amount may differ from the amount originally paid.
Please note that exchange rates and any related bank fees are determined by your bank or card issuer and are outside of Halalbooking’s control. Prices shown in local currencies on the website are indicative only.
