HOTEL BOOKING CONDITIONS

1. Booking Conditions

med hotels and their agent www.accommodation.gr act as booking agents on behalf of all the hotels, apartments and villas featured on this website and your contract will be made with these accommodation providers. Please read the booking terms and conditions carefully. They apply to all bookings made with med hotels and their agent www.accommodation.gr and to all members of your party.

When you book your hotel accommodation we require you to pay the total booking value, when you book.

2. Your Contract with accommodation featured on this website

When you book accommodation, we send you an e-mail confirmation of your booking and it is at the time that we send this confirmation that a binding contract comes into existence. The date of the contract is the date that appears on the confirmation. The contract is subject to these booking conditions. All booking conditions will apply including cancellation charges. Once the contract is made, the accommodation provider is responsible to you to provide you with what you have booked and you are responsible to pay for it, in each case subject to these booking conditions, and any other terms and conditions specific to the relevant accommodation. Please note: It is important to check carefully the details of your booking, when you receive it. If you want to cancel or change your booking later, you may have to pay amendment or cancellation costs (described below), which may be as much as the whole accommodation cost in some cases (please see below). In parties of two or more people, the person who makes the booking, accepts responsibility for making all payments to us for all members of the party. We will send all vouchers and other information to that person who will in turn be responsible for ensuring that the other members of the party are kept fully informed. Should you wish to make an amendment or cancel your booking, we must receive confirmation by e-mail. We will only accept confirmation from the person that makes the original booking. If you are aged under 18 (on date of departure) and your parents or guardians are not travelling with you, they must write to us with their written consent.

3. Your Holiday Insurance

We strongly recommend you take out adequate holiday insurance. It is your responsibility to check you have adequate insurance cover: The insurance should cover, amongst other things, the cost of cancellation by you, all medical costs and the cost of assistance including return to the UK in the event of an accident or illness.

4. Payments

Payments of the price of your hotel accommodation is due at the moment of the hotel booking. We will automatically take payment from your credit card using secure connection and privacy protection measures. By agreeing to these hotel booking conditions, you consent to this procedure. You must pay the full price of the accommodation when you book. Payment may be made by any major credit or debit card.

We use sophisticated technology to secure your credit card details (please note the SSL secure payment and data trasmision key on the lower right part of your internet browser that will apear before the third stage of the booking process - the stage where you enter your credit card details .

Please note: Your booking may be cancelled, if you fail to make payment on time and you would then be liable to pay the accommodation provider cancellation charges set out below.

Payment for incidental extras (e.g. mini bars, telephone charges, etc.) has to be made directly to the accommodation provider, when you check out.

5. Special Requests

If you have any special requests that do not form part of the standard accommodation services as described in this website (for example dietary requirements, cots or room location) please let us know in writing at the time of booking. We will pass on all such requests to the relevant accommodation provider, but unfortunately cannot guarantee that they will be met. Further if the accommodation provider is unable to meet such requests, neither we nor they can have any liability to you in this respect.

6. If you wish to make changes to your accommodation booking

If you want to change any details of your booking, after we have sent your confirmation, we will do our best to help. However; the accommodation provider has no obligation to make any change, although it will permit you or any member of your party who is prevented from travelling to transfer the booking to someone else, provided you give us reasonable notice of the transfer (see conditions below). You must confirm any change by e-mail. If the accommodation provider is able to make the change, there will be an administration charge as shown on the scale below plus potential charges from the accommodation provider, subject to their terms and conditions:

20 Euro per booking alteration.

If you change the number of people booked, the accommodation price will be re-calculated for the new party size. If for example your party is reduced in number, this may mean that accommodation is under-occupied and each of the remainder of your party may have to pay more. If you wish to make any change to your booking while on holiday (e.g. upgrading accommodation or extending your stay), all requests are subject to availability and any extra cost must be paid immediately.

7. If you cancel your Hotel Booking

a. The accommodation provider starts to incur costs for your booking from the time it is confirmed. The closer it is to the time of your planned holiday, the less likely they are to re- sell it. Therefore, if you cancel your booking, a charge has to made and the later the cancellation, the more that charge will be. If you wish to cancel a confirmed booking, this must be done by e-mail by the person in whose name the booking is invoiced (lead name). Cancellation charges will be calculated as set out in the table below and will be notified to you by invoice within two weeks of cancellation. (Please remember these charges also apply, if you have failed to make payment on time and we cancel your booking).

When the cancellation e-mail is received by us before check-in date:
more than 21 days: 35 euros
8 - 21 days: 70 euros
1 - 7 days: 100% payable

(Name Changes - Free of Charge. It is therefor always advisable to pass your booking to a friend or family person, by contacting us and changing the name of the person on the booking, rather than canceling a booking)

If one or more members of your party cancel, this may mean that accommodation is under-occupied and the price of the remaining members of your party may be increased to reflect this. If the accommodation provider makes a change to your booking, we will inform you as soon as possible before your departure, but will have no other liability towards you. No refunds can be given for stays that are ended earlier than planned.

b. med hotels and their agents www.accommodation.gr, etc. will do everything in its power to avoid having to make any changes to any bookings. If in the unlikely event that we are informed by the accommodation owner that they are unable to provide the accommodation which you have booked, we will try to provide you with similar accommodation of equal standard. If we are unable to do this or you prefer not to accept our alternative, you may cancel free of charge.

8. our responsibility to you for your Booking

Because we are acting only as a booking agent we have no liability for any of the accommodation arrangements and in particular no liability for any illness, personal injury, death or loss of any kind, unless caused by our negligence. Any claim for damages for injury, illness or death arising from your stay in the accommodation, must be brought against the owner of the accommodation and will be under the jurisdiction of the law of the country in which the accommodation is based.

9. Complaints Procedure

If you have a complaint while you are staying at the accommodation in question, you must inform the accommodation management immediately, in order to give them the chance to resolve the problem. You may lose any right to compensation, if you fail to do so. If the issue is not resolved to your satisfaction, you should contact our representative in the resort. We have representatives in most of our resorts and, where we do not, you may call us in the UK on +44 (0) 870 442 4201. We will act as an intermediary to try and rectify the problem. In the event that we are unable to do so, and you wish to take matters further, you must do so directly with the accommodation provider concerned.
