On the marketplace, you can view prices for the retreats and host rentals in different currencies. These conversions are estimates. At the time of payment, the price of the retreat and or host rental will be converted in real-time to the currency specified by the organizer. This may differ from the amount displayed earlier. The price displayed after this real-time conversion will be the final amount due for the reservation. The marketplace may require payment in the user's national currency and may charge a conversion fee for this.

The payment terms for bookings are set by the hosts, and the currencies and payment methods available may vary. Activ Retreats is not responsible for these payment terms or any rights derived from currencies.
