The deposit is the owner’s guarantee that no damage will be done to the accommodation during
your stay. At check-in you will have to pay the deposit (if one is required) plus the rent to the
contact person. At check-out, the contact person will check the condition of the apartment and
refund you your deposit providing all is in order. You in turn, must give back the keys. The amount
of the deposit depends on the accommodation. The respective amount that you should pay as a
deposit can be found below the price quoted for your travel dates, in the full description of the
accommodation. If the deposit is 0,00€, this means that the owner does not require you to pay any
deposit for the accommodation in question.

reservation form has been filled in properly. Please note: we cannot confirm your reservation unless
we receive all the information asked for on the reservation form and until we have received the

reservations for the same accommodation and for the same dates, we can only confirm the first
reservation submitted, abiding by our first-come, first-serve basis. Of course you will not be
charged anything if your accommodation is not confirmed and we will also try to give you
alternative options for your travel dates. Please note: We update our listings every time we
confirm a reservation.
