Scope of Service

The Good Index provides an online platform to aid decision making on the right retreat for you. The content on the website is correct to the best of The Good Index’s knowledge at the time of publishing, however the Retreat’s own website should be checked prior to booking to ensure information is correct. Whilst all efforts are made to ensure that information remains correct, we cannot be held responsible for any errors or omissions. All opinions expressed on The Good Index via reviews or blog posts are those of the The Good Index team or external reviewers and do not reflect the views of the Retreat itself.

 

Bookings

The Good Index is not a booking platform and all responsibility for bookings sits with the Operator of the accommodation and/or services that you choose. All Bookings are subject to the Operators’ terms and conditions, which should be read in conjunction with these Terms. Our role is limited to provision of information to allow the customer to compare retreats.

5% Exclusive Discount

All retreats listed on The Good Index have confirmed they are happy to offer an exclusive 5% discount to our community. This offer is available for anyone confirming their first booking with that retreat (a retreat that you have never attended before). This is so that our community have the opportunity to experience new retreats and transition to slow travel and put health as a priority.

 

Customer Obligations

You understand that the advice provided by The Good Index is general in nature and that any clarifications, special requests or requirements that are important for your Booking should be confirmed directly with the Operator. You are solely responsible for deciding whether a destination, accommodation or associated service is suitable for your needs.

 

Pricing & Fees

Average Rates Per Night provided in all search results and at the top of each accommodation listing are exclusive of any fees and provided as a guideline only. Rates for your travel dates may be higher or lower than those quoted. These rates are provided in the currency of the Operator. Rates are exclusive of fees, but inclusive of GST and all other taxes unless specified otherwise.
