Subject to your agreement with your payment company and third-party payment processor, a currency conversion fee may be applied to your transaction. The eventual payout amount may be different than the amount chosen when the user confirmed the booking. Such price differences and conversion fees are not controlled by or known to Cozystay. By choosing to book via Cozystay platform or otherwise using Cozystay's services, you acknowledge and agree that Cozystay is not responsible or liable for any such price differences.
