Occupancy, Extra Guests & Linen Care

05 Occupancy & Visitor Regulations

Only guests registered with valid Govt ID at check-in are allowed entry into the suites and homestay premises. Outside visitors and unregistered persons are not permitted inside rooms without prior written permission from management.

06 Extra Guest Charges (+₹500 / Person / Night)

The standard capacities published for our suites (e.g., 2 Persons for Studio, 4 Persons for 2BHK, 8 Persons for 4BHK) represent base tariffs.

Additional guests are welcome and will be charged at ₹500 per person per night, provided the suite's maximum allowable capacity is respected. (Dormitory beds are priced strictly per single bed).

07 Linen Care & Permanent Stain Penalties

Bed linens, towels, and duvets are professionally sanitized and inspected before check-in and upon check-out. Linens damaged by permanent non-washable stains (such as hair dye, makeup, haldi, mehendi, wine, ink, or burn marks) cannot be reused for future guests.

A replacement fee of ₹1,500 per damaged item will be charged to the guest to replace permanently ruined linens.

08 Room Keys & Self-Service Homestay Living

Guests receive physical room keys upon check-in. A ₹500 fee per key applies to cover lock replacement if keys are misplaced or lost.

Gauraiyaa operates as a self-service boutique private homestay offering complete freedom and privacy. Housekeeping is provided upon request during daytime hours.

Celebrations, Decor & Jacuzzi Usage

09 Room Decorations & ₹3,000 Security Deposit

  • Room decorations (birthdays, anniversaries, proposals) require prior management consent.
  • A refundable Security Deposit of ₹3,000 is mandatory before any decoration setup commences, refunded at check-out following a clean room inspection.
  • Strictly Prohibited: Double-sided tape, adhesive glue, cello tape, nails, push pins, stickers, wall hooks, party poppers, confetti, and wet flower petals on painted walls or ceilings.
  • Third-party decorators are independent service providers; Gauraiyaa is not liable for their service delivery.

10 Wedding & Marriage Event Bookings

Bookings intended for wedding groups, baraat stays, or large family gatherings require a mandatory refundable Security Deposit of ₹10,000 before check-in. All standard property rules (zero wall damage, quiet hours after 10 PM) strictly apply.

11 Jacuzzi Usage — Strict "Pure Water" Policy

Guests must take a clean freshwater shower before entering the Jacuzzi.

STRICT PROHIBITION: Do NOT put flower petals, rose leaves, bath bombs, essential oils, body wash, milk, wine, food, colors, or chemicals into the Jacuzzi.

Why? The Jacuzzi circulates water via high-pressure hydro-jets. Organic petals, bath oils, and soaps are sucked into the motor filter, causing instant jet clogging, pump burnout, and water contamination.

Jacuzzi Motor Protection: An unclogging and sanitization charge of ₹3,000 will be billed immediately to any guest who introduces petals, oils, bath bombs, or soaps into the Jacuzzi system.

Glassware is strictly prohibited around the tub. Children must be closely supervised by adult guardians at all times.
