What to do if you’ve been double charged

Last updated: July 5, 2025

If you believe you’ve been charged twice for a single booking, we’re here to help resolve the issue promptly. Please follow the steps below to begin the refund process for any duplicate payment.

1. Check your payment records and confirm with your bank

Review your bank statement or online payment history to confirm that two identical charges were made for the same booking. Since most duplicate charges result from your bank’s processing, please confirm with them first.

2. Gather the necessary information

Before contacting support, please prepare the following:

  • Your booking reference number

  • Transaction details for both charges, including:

    • Transaction date

    • Amount

    • Last four digits of the card used or other payment method

  • A copy or screenshot of your bank statement that shows:

    • Cardholder’s name

    • Bank’s logo

    • Last 4 digits of the card

    • Merchant name (ExploreSiargao or the listing name)

    • Transaction date, amount, and currency

Please make sure any documents you share with us are redacted to remove your full card number or any sensitive information.

3. Contact ExploreSiargao support
