Treat terms as hut-specific
CAI platform material states that cancellation, modification, deposit, and refund conditions are set by the individual hut and shown in the booking context. The same source context does not prove terms for huts that use a different official process.Sources: [1][2]
- For every intended night, record the deposit amount, payment method, cancellation route, refund rule, and no-show consequence from the operator-controlled source.
- Ask the hut directly when terms are missing, unclear, or split between a platform and direct contact.
- Resolve money terms before buying inflexible travel or committing to adjacent nights.
Keep change control with the operator
- Use the cancellation or modification path the hut or platform tells you to use.
- Keep dated copies of operator replies, platform receipts, cancellation requests, and any refund outcome.
- If weather or safety changes the route, update the affected huts as early as practical and keep the written record with your route notes.
