All accommodation requests are made through the Good Night and God Bless website.

As such, GNGB handles no money or transactions other than to accept payment of a small administration fee for the upkeep of the website. Good Night and God Bless does not confirm bookings. The property with guest rooms booked by the customer will make and confirm all bookings.

All booking requests are handled directly by the residences that receive instant notification of the booking request from GNGB. The residence will confirm availability with the traveler making the booking.

As a consequence, GNGB cannot accept responsibility for payments or refunds and cannot accept cancellations because both are handled by the residence. travelers are advised to contact the property holding the booking, direct.

Any increase in the number of guest rooms or nights can be made on the booking request facility on the Good Night and God Bless website. Any reduction in the number of rooms or nights must be handled directly with the property concerned.
