These sites let you make a refundable booking for your trip to India, so there's less risk of losing the cost of your stay or deposit. Some sites only offer free cancellation on select India hotels or at a slightly higher rate, so it's best to check the terms on your booking before confirming your stay.
Most sites, like Wotif or Expedia, will clearly state whether each India hotel is non-refundable.
Using one of our coupon codes at these sites will save you money on your India stay. Some may ask you to pay for your stay upfront rather than on arrival in order to apply the code to your India booking, but the same cancellation policy does apply so if you are able to cancel, you'll be able to get refunded.
