Booking confirmation

  • Booking confirmation didn’t arrive by email? What now?

    Booking confirmation didn’t arrive by email? What now? Don’t worry – we also use other channels (WhatsApp, Viber) to make communication as easy as possible!

    Possible reasons your confirmation may not have arrived:

    • Check your internet connection – there may have been a drop.
    • Look for messages on WhatsApp or Viber.
    • Check your “Promotions” or “Spam” folders in your inbox.

    If you still haven’t received the confirmation, get in touch:

    We’re here to make every step of your journey easier!

  • How soon will I get my booking confirmation by email?

    How soon will I get my booking confirmation by email? Your confirmation should land in your inbox right after you complete your booking on our site—typically within a few minutes. If you still don’t see it after 10–15 minutes, something may have gone wrong.

    Here are the most common reasons:

    • Payment didn’t go through. Check whether you received a payment-success notification.
    • Your card is expired or not enabled for online purchases. There’s usually a customer-service number on the back—give your bank a call.
    • Insufficient funds or spending limit. Maybe your account balance is too low, or your card limit isn’t high enough (this often happens on amounts over €1,500).
    • Paying from a checking account. Bank transfers can take 1–3 business days to clear. Don’t worry—we’ll let you know as soon as we see the payment!
    • International payment. If you’re paying from outside the EU, the bank may block the transaction. Contact us and we’ll handle the necessary checks.

    Feel free to reach out if anything stalls or if you have any questions—we’re here to help!

  • What if I haven't received my booking confirmation email?

    What if I haven’t received my booking confirmation email? If your booking confirmation email didn’t arrive, don’t worry – it happens! Here’s what you can do:

    • Check if your payment was successfully completed via your bank or mobile banking app.
    • Wait a few minutes – sometimes it takes a bit of time for our system to process the booking and send the confirmation.
    • Check your spam, promotions, or junk folder – the email may have ended up there. Gmail and Yahoo Mail often sort messages automatically.
    • If the payment went through and there’s still no confirmation, feel free to contact us.

    Still having trouble? We’re just a message away – feel free to reach out!

  • Will I have to pay any additional costs upon arrival?

    We understand how important it is for every traveler to know all possible additional costs in advance, ensuring a stress-free stay without unpleasant surprises. No hidden fees with us! The price you received during booking includes all charges, as clearly stated in the offer, including VAT. We strive for full transparency so you can confidently plan your holiday.


    Potential Additional Costs

    Extra costs may apply only if you request additional services or have special requests, such as:

    • Extra towels
    • Additional bedding
    • Airport transfers

    Examples of On-Site Costs

    • Insurance: If not arranged in advance, you can purchase it upon arrival at our office or online.
    • City tax
    • Damage deposit
    • Transportation fees
    • Extra bed (for an additional person)

    However, in most cases, these costs are already included in your total payment. If anything is not included, you will be informed promptly and clearly—either in the offer or on the invoice before arrival. This ensures no unpleasant surprises and full clarity from the start.

    If you have any further questions or would like to check in detail what your reservation includes, feel free to contact us. We are here to help and to make your trip as pleasant and easy as possible.

    We also emphasize that we charge no incidental fees upon arrival (e.g., check-in, cleaning, or local taxi fares) unless explicitly stated in your chosen service or accommodation description.

    Our goal is to provide all information transparently from the outset. Relax and enjoy your holiday, knowing no unexpected surprises await.

    For further questions or to verify what your reservation includes, contact us. We’re here to help and make your journey as pleasant and hassle-free as possible!

  • Is breakfast included in the price?

    Is breakfast included in the price? With us, breakfast is only included if clearly stated in the offer or description of your chosen accommodation. Each property has its own terms, so check your booking confirmation or our website.

    What types of breakfast are offered in Istria?

    If breakfast is included, you can expect a tasty and fresh breakfast every morning during your stay at no extra cost. Typically, this could be:

    • Mediterranean breakfast (regionally inspired)
    • Continental breakfast (for heartier options)
    • English breakfast
    • Other: Some properties offer buffet options (like Swedish table) or local specialties, depending on the accommodation type.

    What if breakfast isn’t included?

    If breakfast isn’t included, you can usually order it separately at the reception or restaurant for an additional charge. Note that some properties don’t offer breakfast at all – but we’re here with alternatives! Always check the offer details or contact us to avoid misunderstandings or unexpected costs.

    What about apartments/villas without breakfast?

    If breakfast is important for your holiday, we’ll help you find accommodation where it’s included! We can also recommend external venues outside your booked service.

    Quick guide:

    • Quick breakfast? We’ll direct you to shops/cafés with simple options (note: these won’t be full breakfasts like Mediterranean/Continental styles).
    • Breakfast with a view? We know terrace spots in Poreč/Vrsar with peaceful views.
    • Vegan/healthy breakfast? Excellent! These are increasingly popular in Istria.

    Our goal is your stress-free stay.
