But if you want to know something that is not mentioned on the website please contact our customer service.
Our staff will happily answer your questions.
When making your booking, enter the total number of people in your party.
Please include your children and infants as well, so if you come with 6 adults 1 child and 1 baby this counts as 8 people.
In many of our houses, however, exceptions are made for babies when mentioning the number of people the property is suited for, so you add 1 or maximum 2 babies to the number of people the house is suited for.
A house, whose profile indicates that it is suitable for 6 people, can thus sleep 6 adults and 2 babies.
You should, however, keep in mind that not all homes are equipped with a cot.
Upon booking, you can submit a request for a cot.
If this is not available, you can bring it yourself.
Please note that you must notify us if the number of people including babies exceeds the total number of persons allowed.
Groups with participants over the number of people the property is suited for are not allowed unless written permission is granted.
For some holiday homes, we distinguish between the number of adults and the number of children (K). This because we deem the beds or sleeping quarters unsuitable for an adult.
This could be in loft beds, bunk beds or sofa beds, but also small beds which are well suited for a child, but not for an adult.
We assess our houses for the maximum number of "acceptable" sleeping places because people want to go on vacation with the maximum number of persons.
If you see more people than bedrooms normally accommodate, you can find in our description the details regarding the sleeping arrangements.
It is always preferable to opt for a holiday home with a good ratio between the number of bedrooms and guests.
Should you opt for a house that accommodates more than 2 people per bedroom than it is good advice to read the description carefully.
Creating new sleeping places is not allowed unless our staff has given written consent when booking.
Our company offers you most online payment options; we work with Stripe and Paypal, payment provider which offers major payment cards: Visa and MasterCard.
You should be aware that additional charges might apply when using some of these payment options.
Of course, you can also make a bank transfer to the IBAN account number that you will find at the bottom of our invoice.
Once you have paid, we process the payment and you will receive a confirmation email.
You can also log into "Customers" with the combination of the email address and your password.
Here you will be able to check your payment and follow the status of your booking.
If the payment has not been processed, you will not receive an email and you will not be able to see it in "My bookings".
Processing of a payment shall not exceed 24 hours.
The speed of receiving the payments depends on the country where the payment was made from, and the chosen payment option.
This can vary from 24 hours up to 1 week. Payments by credit card or Paypal will take 2-3 working days.
For last minute bookings, we advise you to contact us before making the payment.
It is not possible to pay the holiday rental fees upon arrival. In some cases, the deposit has to be paid on arrival, and in most cases, cleaning and/or additional charges such as linen rent must be paid on arrival.
It may be that at the request of the homeowner's the deposit has to be paid to our organisation. In that case, we will invoice you the deposit, and we will refund you by means of a bank transfer if no problems arise.
The term for this is not later than 2 weeks after your departure.
In the travel documents that you will receive 2 weeks before arrival by email, you will find all the necessary information such as the address of your holiday home, directions and contact details of the person that will hand you the key.
If there are specific things that you should know you can find them in your travel voucher.
Your travel voucher contains the contact details of the house manager, and you can also find our emergency number there.
Our phones are always forwarded to a staff member, so we request you to call outside office hours in emergency situations only.
Our advice is to call the house manager approximately 48 hours before your arrival, to confirm your arrival time.
If the manager does not answer the phone immediately, you can try again at a later moment.
Up to 2 hours before your arrival, it is NOT necessary to call our emergency number; managers are notified in writing of your arrival, and it is rare that this goes wrong.
Managers often work with several houses and are also on the move, so you can usually reach them only a few hours before your arrival time.
Many also use a specific mobile number just for that.
If you have not yet spoken to the manager 2 hours prior to your arrival, please call our emergency number.
In some cases, you will find an address where you can pick up the key.
You probably have had a long journey and want nothing more than to enjoy the sun or a dip in the pool, which is very understandable.
However, you pay a security deposit for your holiday home and that gives obligations to both sides.
We ask you to check the holiday home properly on arrival with the manager of the property and to indicate if you see something that is not in order.
If possible, take a picture of this.
It is important that you and the manager are in agreement before she or he leaves.
In short, take some time for the intake and inspect the property before accepting the key.
Our organisation must adhere to the agreements made with the owner, so we can never make any promises regarding earlier arrival or later departure.
Your arrival and departure times are listed on your travel voucher.
Typically, the arrival time is 16:00 and the departure time is at 10:00 in the morning.
The intermediate time is then used for the cleaning of the house in order to be able to provide for the new tenants.
Sometimes people arrive earlier and ask if they can leave their luggage in order to run some errands, or ask if they can start using the garden or the pool.
Only the manager can grant these requests, but they are not obliged to do so.
You pay the extra costs such as final cleaning, tourist taxes and linen rental on arrival if so mentioned on our website.
This may include the security deposit if it was not paid to our organisation.
In few cases the owner wants us to invoice the additional expenses, this is then clearly indicated on your invoice.
On your voucher is mentioned how the security deposit is processed or refunded.
If you have paid the security deposit to us, then you will get this refunded from us as well, provided that the owner has not requested compensation.
You will receive an email asking for your IBAN number within 1 week of your departure, or you can enter the IBAN in your customer account on your website.
If everything is approved, your security deposit will be refunded within maximum 14 days of your departure.
We would like to remind you that the security deposit is a matter between you and the landlord, so we recommend that you always make a joint inspection with the manager.
If something is broken please make a picture.
Even if we manage the deposit on behalf of the owner we are contractually bound to pay them out at their first request.
Some holiday homes charge the tourist taxes separately.
If this is known to us, you will find the information on our website.
However, it may be that the rates have changed between the time of booking and your arrival. We cannot accept any liability for this.
You, as the tenant, are legally liable for damage caused.
You are also required to report damage directly to the manager or owner.
If possible, take photographs of the damage, and ask whether it is possible to receive a costing on the spot.
If your pet is travelling with you, you must be in possession of a pet passport; for many countries, different conditions apply.
We advise you to contact your veterinarian for more details.
Some countries request a tick treatment and blood tests.
In Europe however, in most cases an animal passport with the usual vaccinations is sufficient. Remember when taking your pet to bring a line as well, not all holiday homes are suited to let your pet run loose.
If not mentioned on the website, it is advisable to ask if the garden is closed; we can never accept responsibility if there are cracks in the fence so that your animal can get on the road. Pets are NEVER allowed to swim in the pool.
On our site, you will find at every holiday home information regarding the possibilities to rent bed linen and towels, or information whether this is included in the rental fees.
Please note that beach towels are not included in a linen rental package.
On your voucher, you will find the information we have passed regarding your linen preference to the manager, please contact us if this is incorrect or needs to be changed.
If there is a linen rental it must always be paid on arrival, unless something different is specifically mentioned on your invoice.
Check our website to see if towels are included in the linen rental.
If this is the case, it is normally a large and a small towel, and optionally a washcloth, per person.
If you do not consider this to be enough, then it is advisable to bring your own extra towels. Please read the information on linen in the property description of the house you have booked, or are interested in booking, carefully.
For the terms of cleaning, refer to the property information on our website.
These are also written on your travel voucher. If there are cleaning charges they are payable on arrival.
If it is mentioned " leave clean at departure" " you can take care of the cleaning yourself, and this means that the floor is swept clean, the dishes are washed and placed in the cupboards. Please note, however, that when the house is left unclean, the homeowner has the right to charge additional cleaning fees.
Therefore you should ask for your departure if the cleaning is satisfactory.
If upon your request there was an in-between cleaning you will have to settle the costs for this there as well.
If we do not receive your payment on time, we do indeed have the right to cancel your booking. We have strict agreements with the owners that we have to live up to.
Correct payment by all parties is very important.
Should you exceed the payment term, please contact our customer service so that we are at least informed of the delay.
Possibly we can work out a suitable solution.
If we have to cancel the booking this does not mean that you are relieved of your payment obligations.
This can be read in our terms and conditions.
So it is always advisable to find the best solution together.
There may be circumstances due to which, unfortunately, you are forced to cancel a booking.
In that case, the first thing to do is to inform us of your cancellation in writing.
Clearly state your name, reservation number and your phone number.
If you have taken out cancellation insurance and the reason for the cancellation meets your cancellation policy terms there is the possibility to claim the damage.
Your cancellation does not relieve you of your obligation to pay, more information about this can be found in our terms and conditions.
If cancelled up to the 42th calendar day (exclusive) before arrival: the deposit.
Cancellation from the 42th calendar day (inclusive) until the 28th day (exclusive) before the arrival: 60% of the rent.
Cancellation from the 28th calendar day (inclusive) until the arrival: 90 % of the rent.
Cancellation on the day of arrival or later: the full rent.
Can you imagine that you need to cancel, and you have no insurance?
We always advise you to close cancellation insurance; you are after all never sure of the situation within your family, relatives and circumstances that may force you to cancel your vacation.
If you have chosen to close a cancellation insurance during your booking through our company, you will find the clear terms and conditions on our website under Information ➝ travel insurance. Already booked and confirmed bookings are not eligible for cancellation insurance, this can only be done when you enter the booking.
For renting a holiday home the right of withdrawal is precluded because the supply of which commenced, with the explicit consent of the consumer, before the withdrawal period had lapsed.
Despite the fact that the houses are very carefully assessed and inspected, it is possible that you find a situation where you are not satisfied.
If you have a remark, even if this is not a complaint, we would like to know about it and greatly appreciate your response.
Depending on the situation and your needs, our team will take the necessary action.
