By paying any amount towards the cost of your accommodation, you fully agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions in their entirety.
Terms of Payment
There is no legal contract between us until your deposit or a greater amount is received. The deposit requirement is 25% (unless agreed differently with a Manager) and the final balance of the cost of the accommodation must be paid 90 days prior to your scheduled arrival at the villa.
Cancellations
Should you decide to cancel your accommodation, and have paid a 25% deposit, 75% balance payment, or payment in full on booking, then the following refunds will apply :-
90 days or less – no refund of monies paid
91 days to 180 days – no refund of deposit – 75% refund of the total of any other monies paid
181 days or more – no refund of deposit – 100% refund of the total of any other monies paid
You will not be required to pay anything further towards the cost of the accommodation.
All cancellations by you will be deemed as taking effect from the day we receive notification. To cancel, a telephone call followed by an email is the most suitable method of cancelling a booking. Please note that if we do not respond to a cancellation sent via email within 24 hours (without a phone call), then you should assume that the communication has not reached us.
Under the rare circumstances that we have to cancel your booking, if we cannot mutually agree to an alternative villa, then all monies paid to us will be returned. We offer no compensation for losses incurred by you due to cancellation by us (ie. flight tickets, airport transfers, etc.). It is therefore also a condition that you arrange adequate travel insurance for you and all members of your party.
Complaints and Disputes
We will endeavour to resolve any complaints or disputes that may arise during your holiday. All issues must be raised whilst you are here in resort, and will not be escalated once you have left the island. We are not the owners of the properties, and may not have the authority to action certain requests by you (ie. be relocated to alternative accommodation, requests for compensation, replacement of items of furniture, etc.). We are not obliged to provide you with the owners contact details, but we will guarantee that all communications from you will be reported back to the owners.
Property Damage and Additional Cleaning
Any accidental damage to the property, and/or discovery of damage to fixtures and fittings must be reported on discovery (even if not caused by you) within 24 hours of the discovery or accident taking place. This includes damage caused by staining to linen and furnishings caused by sun creams. We totally understand accidents happen however honesty is always the best policy. You are obliged to contact our company representative to report any damage caused by you or a member of your party. Additional cleaning can be requested for an additional fee.
Insurance
It is a condition of booking that you provide your own comprehensive travel insurance. This must cover you and all members of your party for all costs arising from personal injury or death for the duration of your stay at the property.
Your insurance must also cover you in full in the event that we have to cancel your booking. This includes flights, airport transfers, car hire and the cost of alternative accommodation with another company if we are unable to offer accommodation to an equal or better standard than previously booked.
Personal Injury
We want you to stay safe on holiday and have the best time, however please note that we will not, under any circumstances, consider any claims for compensation arising from personal injuries that occur within the property or the grounds of the property.
Whilst the property may have measures installed to enhance your safety, this in no way implies that we accept any responsibility for your personal safety. If, at any time during your stay, you consider anything untoward may result in an injury to you, or members of your party, then you must immediately contact the Manager on the number provided to you and report this.
Changes
We will do our utmost to accommodate any changes you wish to make. However, if we cannot make the changes you have requested, resulting in the cancellation of your booking, then refunds of monies as outlined in the section “Cancellations” will apply.
Passport registration
The registration of passports to the Guardia Civil has been a legal requirement since 2017 (although many villa management companies still do not adhere to this). Passport details of all guests over the age of 16 must be presented so we can forward them to the authorities. This is a legal requirement. Passports must be presented within 24 hours of arrival in Lanzarote. You can visit us at our office in the town of Playa Blanca (Elite Villa Management, Calle Don Jaime Quesada El Maestro – opposite the Pharmacy).
Loss of Amenities
The ongoing provision of mains water, internet and electricity is provided by a third party, and totally beyond our control. We provide contact numbers for you, and also an emergency contact number for ‘out of office hours’ issues. In the event that loss of electricity or water for a prolonged period occurs in the property, requiring you and your party to be moved to alternative accommodation, we will endeavour to assist with finding something suitable. However, all the costs of the alternative accommodation must be borne by you and reclaimed on your holiday insurance cover.
Accommodation Description
We have described the property and its surroundings as accurately as we can – we believe in transparency. However, furnishings and fixtures can and may change from our descriptions and photographs.
Third Party Nuisance
We will not be held responsible for nuisance caused by third parties. This includes noise from local building works, dogs, loutish and disruptive behaviour from guests staying in other villas, loud music and traffic noise. Behaviour and noise issues are a matter for the authorities, who will take firm action on this behaviour.
