1. Confirmation of Booking:
Your booking is complete when we receive an online payment confirmation through our SSL (secure sockets layer) protocol. This platform ensures safe online transactions and protects your details against any interception.

2. Security Deposit:
This deposit helps ensure that the property manager is compensated for any damages — unintentional or accidental made to the property during your stay. Security deposit, if applicable and for most providers/host is due at check in and is returned within two weeks of your check out via the credit card on file.

3. Cancellation Policy:
We realise that due to unforeseen events a cancellation of your reservation may be required. To mitigate the loss of a booking, a cancellation fee will be levied to the authorised credit card. This fee depends on how early you inform us about the cancellation of your booking. Most property owners select a cancellation policy and the rental contract is governed by this policy. Please see the property details for the cancellation policy governing that property. Where a cancellation policy is not specified, the below schedule of charges will be applicable:
-3 days notice is required to cancel your booking prior to arrival.
-This is for all lengths of stay in order to avoid charges.
-For guest in house 14 days notice is required to shorten or extend their stay/booking.
-All cancellations or extension requests must be made in writing via email.

4. Travel Insurance:
We strongly advise all clients to purchase a travel insurance policy prior to the commencement of your trip. Often these policies are inexpensive and can save you unnecessary hassle from unforeseen circumstances. In the vacation rental business, a popular insurance policy is the AXA surprise insurance. If this is not available in your country, please take other holiday travel insurance.

Changing an apartment is possible only if an alternative apartment, of your choice, is available with the provider.
