Youth Hostels Association Reviews

The website "Yha.org.uk" offers various services and each has its own payment method. For instance, if a booking is made, the payment must be received within a certain time frame, otherwise, the booking will be cancelled. If the payment details change after the deposit has been taken but before the next payment, an attempt will be made to process the refund to the original payment method.

For memberships, if the payment is made via direct debit, the payment for the membership will be deducted from the bank account on the date specified when confirming the membership. The membership is calculated from the commencement date of the contract and ends 12 calendar months thereafter.

In the case of raffles, entry into the raffle requires the purchase of a ticket. The purchase will require the provision of certain information such as name, address, confirmation of being over 16 years of age, and the number of tickets wished to be purchased in the raffle.

Please note that the specific payment methods may vary depending on the service being availed. It is recommended to check the specific service page or contact the YHA help centre for more detailed information.

The YHA (Youth Hostels Association) has a booking terms and conditions policy that governs all bookings with the company. It is recommended to cover bookings through appropriate travel insurance. All refunds are calculated based on the time of cancellation and the time span between the cancellation notification sent to the company and the time of the arrival at the Hostel. If a booking is cancelled, the company will try to offer another room, either at the same Hostel or an alternative Hostel. If this offer is refused, the Order will be cancelled and a refund of any sums paid in advance for that Order will be provided.

As for the shipping policy, no specific information was found. The YHA primarily provides accommodation services, so a traditional shipping policy may not apply. However, when making a booking, it includes accommodation, meals, and any additional product or service purchased from them.

Please note that these policies may change, and it is always a good idea to check the latest information on the official YHA website. If there are any further questions, please feel free to ask.

"Yha.org.uk" is a website operated by the Youth Hostels Association (YHA), a charity that believes in the power of travel and adventure. The YHA operates a network of hostels throughout England and Wales, providing inclusive adventures in extraordinary buildings in amazing places. The organization aims to enrich the lives of all, especially young people, and improve physical health, mental wellbeing, and life skills through the experiences they create.

The YHA offers a variety of products and services. One of the main services is providing quality affordable accommodation across England and Wales. This allows individuals to meet new people and discover stunning heritage and wildlife without compromising on comfort or budget.

The YHA also offers a range of special offers to ensure customers don't miss out on the best ways to save while travelling. These include hot deals, limited-time deals, and exclusive special offers for YHA members. There are also special offers on beds in a shared room, private rooms, camping & cabins, and exclusive hire properties. For example, customers can save 10% when they book their next YHA stay more than 90 days in advance, and they can save up to 15% off on accommodation and pre-booked meals by booking their stay through yha.org.uk.

In addition to accommodation, the YHA also sells books, souvenirs, and other products. These products can only be delivered to United Kingdom addresses. If a customer is not satisfied with a product, it can be returned to the YHA in its original condition and packaging within 14 days of the date the item was received for a full refund.

However, the YHA is much more than just accommodation. It is a leading social enterprise and a 90-year-old movement. By staying with the YHA, becoming a member, donating to, or volunteering with the YHA, customers not only feel the benefit, but they also help the YHA continue to reach those who’d miss out without them. The vision of the YHA is that everyone has access to the benefits of adventure, for the first time and a lifetime. Their mission is to enrich the lives of all, especially young people, by providing brilliant hostel stays and experiences that improve physical health, mental wellbeing, and life skills. Their charitable object is to help all, especially young people of limited means, to a greater knowledge, love, and care of the countryside, and appreciation of the cultural values of towns and cities, particularly by providing youth hostels or other accommodation for them on their travels and thus to promote their health, recreation, and education.

YHA reserves the right to decline an order for any booking or product at its sole discretion. If YHA cannot accept your order, it will inform you of this and will not charge you for the booking or product ordered.

For family and individual bookings, you can cancel your booking by completing the booking cancellation request form available at yha.org.uk/cancel-booking or by calling the contact center or the hostel directly if you are due to arrive within the next 48 hours.
