How bookings work
A valid debit or credit card is needed to guarantee the booking.
Payment is taken from the card provided at time of reservation 7 days before arrival.
If you cancel a booking (less than 7 days before arrival) then you'll be charged the full amount.
If you don't show up or if you leave early (after arrival date) you'll be charged the full amount.
If you book through a third party you'll be subject to their conditions and higher prices as I need to pay at least 15% commission to them.
