Booking – A binding contract is formed when payment of the deposit or full balance has been received, and a booking confirmation has been issued.
Deposit – A 25% deposit of the total holiday must be paid within 3 days of placing the booking.
Balance – The remaining balance must be paid no later than 30 days prior to arrival. Failure to make payment by this date may result in cancellation of the booking.
Bookings made within 30 days of arrival must be paid in full,
Security Deposit – a security deposit of €150 is to be paid along with the balance of payment of your rental amount 30 days prior to arrival. This deposit is required in case it is needed to cover the cost of any damage or breakages to or at the property, or any dirt/mess requiring excessive cleaning (including the barbecue) and any damaged/broken/missing items. This also includes any other cost incurred by the property owner due to a guest’s stay. The property will be inspected after departure, and the guest will be notified of any damage, breakages or missing items found other than those that may have already been reported by the guest. The security deposit will normally be returned to the guest within 7 days after their departure. The property owner reserves the right to withhold the security deposit for longer than 7 days if there is a dispute over damage or is awaiting bills/proof of damages. If the cost of the damage is more than the security deposit the additional amount must be paid by you to the property owner.
