Terms & conditions for Birla Guest House Puri
Last updated
These terms cover the use of bookbirlaguesthousepuri.com and the basis on which a room at Birla Guest House Puri, Puri is held and confirmed. Using this website means you accept them.
The most important point comes first: no booking is made on this website. It has no reservation system and takes no payment.
This website does not take bookings
Every page here is information. Rooms are held and confirmed only in a direct conversation — a phone call or a WhatsApp message — with the property. Nothing shown on this site is an offer, a reservation or a guarantee that a room is free.
A room is yours when we have told you, in that conversation, that it is confirmed for your dates. Until then, please assume nothing is held. During festivals and at weekends the house fills quickly, and we would rather say so than let you travel on an assumption.
Rates and payment
Rates are not published on this site. They vary by room type, by season and by how busy Puri is, so they are quoted when you enquire, and the rate quoted for your dates is the rate that applies to your stay. Taxes and any charges are told to you at the same time.
No payment is taken through this website. Payment is settled directly with the property.
Check-in, check-out and identification
Check-in is from 12:00 noon and check-out is by 11:00 am. A valid photo ID is required for every adult guest at check-in; we cannot give a room to a guest who cannot produce one. An early arrival or a late departure may be possible, but only if the room allows it on the day — please ask rather than plan around it.
The number of guests in a room may not exceed the number confirmed for it. If a group arrives larger than the booking, we may not have the space to accommodate the difference.
While you are staying
This is a quiet guest house serving pilgrims, many of whom leave for darshan before dawn. We ask guests to keep noise down, particularly at night, and to treat the rooms and the common areas with care. Guests are responsible for damage or loss they cause.
Anything illegal is not permitted on the premises. We may decline or end a stay where a guest's conduct makes the house unsafe or unpleasant for other guests.
Changes and cancellation
Plans change, and travel to Puri runs along the coast road, which fills up on festival days. If you cannot come, or your dates move, tell us as early as you can — a room we know about is a room we can give to someone else.
Any deposit or cancellation terms that apply to your stay are told to you when the room is confirmed, and are the terms that govern that booking.
The information on this site
We have tried to make every page accurate, and we correct anything we find to be wrong. Even so, details change: distances are approximate, facilities can be out of service for maintenance, and what is available today may not be available next month. Nothing here is a warranty. If a particular room, facility or arrangement matters to your trip, please confirm it with us before you travel.
Some photographs on this site are not photographs of Birla Guest House Puri. The room photographs are licensed stock standing in until the property's own pictures are taken, and a note under the gallery says so. Ask us on WhatsApp and we will send photographs of the actual room before you decide.
Belongings, parking and liability
Please look after your own belongings. Valuables left in a room or in a common area are left at your own risk, and vehicles are parked at the owner's risk.
To the extent the law allows, Birla Guest House Puri is not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from the use of this website, or from circumstances outside our reasonable control — weather, road closures on festival days, power or water interruptions, or the temple's own arrangements for darshan.
Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
Links to other services
This site links out to Google Maps, and to WhatsApp when you tap a message button. Those services are run by other companies under their own terms and privacy policies. We link to them because they are useful, not because we control them or endorse everything they do.
Content on this site
The text, design and the property's own photographs belong to Birla Guest House Puri and may not be copied or republished commercially without permission. Several photographs of Puri come from Wikimedia Commons under Creative Commons licences, are credited in the footer, and remain governed by their own licences rather than by this notice.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of India, and disputes arising out of them are subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of Puri, Odisha.
Changes to these terms
These terms may be updated as the house changes what it offers. The version on this page is the one that applies, and the date at the top tells you when it last changed. The terms that govern a particular stay are the ones in force when that room was confirmed.
