1. If a client cancels his reservation at any time, a 20% cancellation fee of the total amount will be applied. This amount is NON refundable.

Any cancellation, including force majeure, must go by our clear and simple cancellation policy. If for any reason beyond our own control, including force majeure, Visit Barcelona S.L. should be unable to provide the client with the property he has booked, we do reserve the right to transfer him, upon agreement, to a similar property.

If the price of the substituted property is less, the difference will be reimbursed to the client, but if the price of the substituted property is higher, the difference will not be charged to the Client.

The company will always aim to assist our guest as much as we can, should a guest wish to change the date of the booking, or the number of people we will try to make this possible, as well as any last minute problems with plane delays etc. Our interest is to send all guests very happy back to their homes, so to return the following year with all their friends and family. In short we have a clear and strict cancellation policy, but will help where ever we can to make your very pleasant!

If, however, no agreement can be reached, both contractual parties are authorized to cancel the contract. Visit Barcelona S.L. will refund to the Client all monies paid.

In case of legal proceedings both parties agree to Spain, Barcelona.to page top

We do require a deposit to hold your reservation and the amount will depend on the length of your booking, the number of people and the time for which you wish to book, you can also choose to pre pay your entire booking with Visa or MasterCard, or you can wire a part or the total booking amount to our bank. For short reservations of 4 days or less we will frequently ask for a full pre-payment using your Visa or MasterCard and also during great events or festivals this may be required. (Easter, Christmas, Merce Festival etc…) As deposit we do require a signed Visa Card slip that will be destroyed if the apartment is returned in good conditions. We have a 50€ cleaning fee for all bookings. As we, Visit Barcelona S.L., are managing this apartment we must charge a service tax of 16 % by Spanish law, on the part of the deposit only. So for a deposit of 100 Euros we would charge an extra 16 Euro tax, which would make it a total of 116 Euros. The balance of the reservation is due before or on arrival. We recommend that you pay the balance due prior to arrival using our online payment system or calling our offices to authorize a credit card charge. A failure to pay before or on arrival may lead to you being unable to take possession of your apartment.

Payment options are Visa and Mastercard for last minute bookings and money wires and transfers for reservation payments, the rest of the rent is due on arrival day.to page top
