Can I refund the deposit for booking?

The deposit can be refunded, but the conditions for refunding the deposit need to be met. According to the provisions of China's Civil Code, if the party paying the deposit fails to perform the debt or the performance of the debt does not conform to the agreement, resulting in the failure to achieve the purpose of the contract, it has no right to request the return of the deposit. If the party receiving the deposit fails to perform the debt or the performance of the debt does not conform to the agreement, so that the purpose of the contract cannot be achieved, the deposit shall be returned twice. Therefore, if the party who paid the deposit fails to perform the contractual obligations unilaterally, resulting in the failure to achieve the purpose of the contract, it has no right to demand the return of the deposit.
