Special services are not included in the price of accommodation, and the guest pays them separately (pet fee, damage compensation deposit when there is no insurance policy, final cleaning fee). The guest should announce additional services during the reservation process, otherwise the Agency does not take responsibility for the lack of these services. The Agency reserves the right to change the published prices (in the event of a change in accommodation prices by the property owner or a change in the exchange rate). If the change occurs before the advance payment and/or confirmation of the reservation by the guest, the agency notifies the guest of the price change.
For guests who have paid an advance for a particular reservation, the agency guarantees the price of accommodation stated in the calculation on the basis of which they paid the amount of the advance.
If after the advance payment there is a change in the exchange rate of the agreed currency or an increase in fees for certain services that affect the price of travel, which the agency could not know when making the offer, the agency has the right to increase the price no later than 30 days prior to the check-in date. In this case, the guest has the right to cancel the reservation if the price increase is more than 10% of the price from the reservation confirmation with the right to a refund of the amount paid so far (less bank charges), but without the right to any other fees or compensation.
The exchange rate at which the price was formed is stated in the reservation confirmation.1
