Cancellations
It is your responsibility to read and understand our cancellation policy before making a reservation. Naturally, no one books with the intention of cancelling or postponing their trip, but unexpected things do happen, so please consider purchasing travel cancellation insurance.
Cancellations Policy: Guest Cancellations
If you need to cancel any retreat with TRUE Escapes, cancellation fees will apply. Any notice of cancellation must be provided in writing.

Cancellations less than 30 days before the Start Date of your Escape are non-refundable and will result in a forfeit of any and all sums paid.
Due to our need to commit to accommodation and other arrangements in advance, exceptions to our policy cannot be made for any reason.
Late Arrivals/Early Departures:
We do not offer credit for arriving late to our Escape or departing early.
Cancellations Policy: Cancellations made by Us
If for any reason TRUE Escapes has to cancel or change the Start Date of any Escape, for any reason whatsoever, you’re entitled to transfer the sums paid to another TRUE Escapes trip (either scheduled or at some future time within the next five (5) years) to be used as credit.
Alternatively, you may request a refund of payments made by You to Us, which will be accommodated for insofar as is possible, taking into consideration any non-retrievable costs to which we committed in anticipation of your Escape.
For trip cancellations or postponements made in connection with COVID-19, special terms apply and You will have three (3) options.
OPTION 1: SWAP TO A DIFFERENT TRIP
We are offering complete flexibility on dates and destinations so that you can move to an Escape later in the year. Any payments made will be credited in full towards a room of your choice on another trip in the same year.
OPTION 2: DEFER TO ANOTHER YEAR
We are offering complete flexibility on swapping and postponing your trip. We'll transfer any and all payments you've made to a room of your choice on a trip of your choice over the next three (3) years.
OPTION 3: REQUEST A REFUND
If neither of the above options suit you, you can request a refund and we'd be happy to oblige.
