REQUEST A RESERVATION

Simaba Group offers its apartments through a custom-made booking tool called "Request a Reservation".

When you fill in a reservation request, you do not consider that a reservation has been made. Simaba Group must accept the request and manage the booking of the requested apartment. Once accepted, the customer will receive a confirmation of the reservation.
The confirmation will always be made in writing via email.

CANCELLATION POLICY

The cancellation policies for each reservation are established and accepted at the time of booking confirmation via booking request and/or email, as these may vary depending on the supplier, booking period and associated rate. Once the reservation is confirmed, the cancellation policies cannot be changed.

PAYMENT POLICY

Refundable deposit. To cover any possible damage to the apartment, the client must pay a deposit on arrival, which is usually 600 euros, although in some apartments it can be as much as 1000 euros.

This amount will be refunded at the end of your stay, provided all the conditions for it are met. The refund will be made by bank transfer regardless of whether exceptionally it has been made in cash.

The deposit will be retained, in whole or in part, if damage to the apartment is found to have been caused by the client during his or her stay.
At the moment of the confirmation of a reservation, the payment of the first monthly fee or the total of the reservation must be made, in case of a stay of less than 30 nights, plus a deposit (if applicable). The end customer will not receive the check-in details until Simaba Group receives at least the proof of payment of the reservation.
In case of last minute reservations with same-day check-in, Simaba Group may make this policy more flexible in order to offer the customer more comfort and security.

Monthly, the payment must be paid in full for stays of more than 30 nights, provided that it does not have a payment policy that differs from the same under contractual agreement. Simaba Group will send the invoice for the services offered and the customer must correspond with the proof of payment of the invoice.

The payment of the reservation must be made by bank transfer or by debit, credit or virtual card.

Outstanding balance. The outstanding amount will be paid together with the deposit, in cash or by credit card, upon arrival at the apartment.
The amount of the reservation includes the VAT (10%), the weekly cleaning, the final cleaning of the stay, as well as the water, energy and telecommunication supplies. However, it does not include: the additional services that the client may contract.
