Terms and Conditions

1. When booking with us, or through any agent or Online Travel Agent (OTA’s), you are agreeing to be bound by our Terms and Conditions.
2. We live 3 kilometers from the accommodation. We are here to help you enjoy your holiday as much as possible.  Please let us know immediately if you are unhappy with anything during your stay, so we can try and rectify as early as possible.  No refunds will be given for any matter not brought to our attention during your stay.
3. Reservation and cancellation rules – When booking directly, our standard policy requires a 30% deposit of the total amount. €25 is non-refundable and covers administrative costs and costs of remarketing. The remaining balance must be paid 14 days before arrival. If the reservation is canceled more than 30 days before arrival, we will refund you 30% less €25. If the reservation is canceled less than 30 days before arrival, no refund will be issued. For last-minute bookings (up to 14 days before arrival), full payment is required at the time of booking and is non-refundable. The reservation is confirmed upon receipt of a confirmation email and voucher.
   Gift Vouchers – Gift vouchers are considered as a partial advance payment and are taken into account as an amount or value in the final reservation calculation. When making a reservation, it is necessary to send the Gift Voucher to the accommodation provider at the address: Martin Šeberle, Velika Dolina 22, 8261 Jesenice na Dolenjskem, Slovenia. Upon receipt of the Gift Voucher, the provider confirms the reservation.
4. Trip Cancellation Insurance – Important Notice: Please note that if you or any member of your travel group are unable or unwilling to travel for any reason, whether due to illness or other circumstances, you will not be eligible for a refund. We strongly encourage all our guests to purchase travel cancellation insurance immediately after booking. Trip cancellation insurance can typically be arranged directly with your insurance provider. This insurance provides coverage in case you need to cancel your trip due to specific reasons and offers you additional protection in case of unexpected situations.
5. For OTA’s bookings, please refer to the cancellation policy, payment and time of arrival on your reservation confirmation.
6. In the event of a no show or booking reduction (after arrival date) the full cost of the booking is charged. If you have booked on a non refundable rate, no refunds will be given.  We advise all guests to take out travel insurance immediately after booking.
7. We understand that accidents can happen.  Please let us know of any breakages, loss of keys or damage as soon as it occurs.  You are liable for the cost of any damage and loss of keys (€25 per set). By letting us know of any damage or loss as soon as it occurs, we can try to minimise this cost with you. Guests are responsible for property in the building during their stay. The damage caused will be confirmed by the owner and must be paid by the guests at the discretion of the owner. Report any defect immediately to the owner at +38641416920.
