Reservations and Deposits
- All payments must be made in Euros.
- To secure your reservation we require a reservation deposit
equal to 30% of your total rental cost.
- Payment for the 30% reservation deposit MUST
be made via credit/debit card. Please rest assured that
all credit/debit card information will be processed via
a secure server.
- Important Note: Your reservation will
only be FULLY EFFECTIVE once we receive
your 30% reservation deposit. Once this is received we will
confirm your reservation.
- CARD CHARGES: All credit/debit card transactions will incur a 4% card processing fee, irrespective of transaction amount.
Payments
- Once Budapest Lets has confirmed the availability of
your preferred apartment(s), you will be required to pay a reservation
deposit of 30 percent of the total price of the stay by
means of a credit/debit card as indicated above.
- The balance is due in full and in cash upon arrival. All payments must be in Euros. Remember to bring Euros with you as cash point machines in Hungary do not dispense Euros.
- All charges and costs are itemised for your approval prior to submitting your booking. If you believe any of the calculations or charges are incorrect, or have any concerns or questions, please contact the bookings manager by email at Budapest Lets Bookings or by telephone on +44 191 499 8251 (UK office).
Cancellation
- If you cancel your reservation for any
reason including force majeure, you will lose your 30%
reservation deposit. In addition any fully paid reservation
will incur a variable cancellation charge which will differ
depending upon the number of days remaining before the beginning
of the rental period.
- If you have paid the full rental amount and you cancel
you will lose the following amounts of the 70% balance payment:
- More than 90 days before: you will forfeit 20% of the balance payment.
- 60-89 days before: you will forfeit 30% of the balance payment.
- 30-59 days before: you will forfeit 50% of the balance payment.
- Less than 30 days before: you will forfeit 100% of
the balance payment.
- Refunds will be made back to the credit/debit card (via the PayPal account) you
used to make your payment from.
- In the event that you changes the dates, it will
be considered a new stay and it shall be subject to the
cancellation conditions.
- It is strongly recommended that you purchase trip
cancellation insurance. Any cancellation, including force
majeure, will be subject to our clear and simple cancellation
policy stated herein.
- If for any reason Budapest Lets should be unable to provide you with the property you have booked, we reserve the right to transfer you and your guests to a property of similar or better characteristics. If this property is unacceptable to you then both contractual parties are authorised to cancel the contract. In this case Budapest Lets will refund you all monies paid (except the part corresponding to the days that any apartment was used, if this were the case) and Budapest Lets will be liable for no further claims by you.
Arrival and Departure
- The day of your arrival, the apartment will be available
from 15:00 pm.
- To allow the servicing of the apartment between guests
departing and arriving you will be required to vacate the
apartment no later than 11.00 am on the day of your departure.
- These times are set to prevent guests arriving prior to the previous guests departing, and to allow sufficient time for our apartments to be serviced and readied in preparation for the next guest's arrival. However, some flexibility in the arrival/departure times may be accommodated, but this is solely at the discretion of our agent in Budapest and will be dependent on the departures of previous guests or arrivals of subsequent guests. Any such flexibility must be discussed with our agent at least 48 hours before you arrive or preferrably at the time of your booking being confirmed. Any such arrangement will be granted on the understanding that it may need to be revoked at very short notice, however our agent will endeavour to inform you of any such changes at least 48 hours in advance.
Airport or Train Station Transportation Service
- If you are travelling by plane, train or boat we can offer you our optional
transportation service to collect you and take you direct to your
apartment, and if required take you back again at the end of your stay.
- This additional service is provided by our trusted drivers who are
professional, polite, friendly and courteous.
- As this is an additional service provided by the drivers, payment for
this service is required to be made in cash direct to the driver at the end
of your journey.
- The price (see below) is one-way only, per car, and for a maximum of 4
passengers (not including the driver).
- To arrange this service please contact our manager in Budapest giving as
much notice as possible of the number of guests to be transported, arrival time
of flight, train or boat, and which terminal or station you need to be collected
from or returned to. This information can be given in the online booking form when
making your booking, or through the website enquiry form, or via the contact
information contained in your booking confirmation.
- PRICING: The current* price of this service is 5000 HUF, or 20 EUR, payable in cash direct to the driver during your journey. *this price is correct at the last revision date of this page (above), and may be subject to change without notice.
Cleaning and Servicing
