Understanding Service Fees
Juxtravel charges a small 3% service fee on each booking. Here is what it covers and why it exists.
What Is the Service Fee?
The service fee is calculated as 3% of your room subtotal (before GST). It is shown as a separate line item in your checkout breakdown so you always know exactly what you are paying.
What It Covers
Your service fee supports:
- 24/7 customer support — reach us via WhatsApp, email, or phone if anything goes wrong before, during, or after your stay.
- Secure payment processing — Razorpay integration, fraud protection, and instant refund handling.
- Property verification — every property on Juxtravel is video-verified by our team to ensure accuracy.
- Platform development — continuous improvements to search, JuxAI, Trip Boards, and the booking experience.
- Booking protection — if a host cancels last-minute, we help you find an alternative or process a full refund.
How It Is Calculated
| Room Subtotal | Service Fee (3%) | |---------------|------------------| | Rs 5,000 | Rs 150 | | Rs 10,000 | Rs 300 | | Rs 25,000 | Rs 750 | | Rs 50,000 | Rs 1,500 |
Compared to Other Platforms
Major booking platforms charge between 10-20% in combined guest and host fees. Juxtravel's 3% guest fee + 5% host commission is among the lowest in the industry, meaning both guests and hosts get better value.
