Based on paid advance, the guest receives the booking confirmation – voucher.
Based on the reservation confirmation, it is considered that the guest is fully familiar with the general conditions of providing the accommodation service, and that they fully understand and accept it.

4. SERVICE PRICE
a) Basic services
The price includes the basic service that results from the description of the reserved service. Service prices are expressed in euros, and the agency reserves the right to change the published prices (in case of change in the price by the owner of accommodation or change in the exchange rate, i.e. larger currency differences that are possible until the end of 2022). For guests who have paid an advance for a specific reservation, the agency guarantees the price of the service resulting from the confirmed reservation, regardless of any subsequent changes in the price of services for the reservation in question.
If it happens that on the day of arrival, i.e. on the day of service provision, more persons arrive than indicated in the reservation confirmation or on the travel documents (VOUCHER), the agency has the right to refuse accommodation to unannounced guests or, if feasible, to accommodate unannounced guests for a surcharge on the spot according to the valid service price list
b) Special – other services
Special services are not included in the price of accommodation, but can be obtained by inquiry during the reservation or directly at the destination, if they are included in the description of the requested accommodation under "Additional costs".

5. TOURIST TAX
Pursuant to the valid law on tourist tax of the Republic of Croatia, a guest/citizen who uses the service of an overnight stay in an accommodation facility where catering or tourist activities are carried out in a tourist destination outside of their residence is obliged to pay a tourist tax. The amount of the tourist tax for a specific reservation depends on the destination in the Republic of Croatia and the period of stay, and it is charged according to these general conditions and simultaneously with the payment of the final amount for accommodation.
6. CATEGORIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
The offered accommodation units (apartments, country houses or other facilities) are described according to the official categorization by the competent institution, and based on an insight into the actual condition of accommodation at the time of publication, both by the agency and by our partners.

Reservation change, if possible without additional costs, will be made free of charge. In the event that it is not possible to change the reservation, and if the guest cancels the confirmed reservation because of this, the advance payment is not reimbursed, but used to cover the costs of canceling the reservation. If the guest does not show up at the destination by 12:00 the next day (after the first night) without notifying the Agency about the delay or cancels the rented services after the start of use, the guest has no right to claim the amount paid.

In that case, the agency will charge only the actual costs caused by the change of Passenger (if any and depending on the cancellation conditions of the specific accommodation). The new user of the reservation assumes all obligations from these general conditions.

Different cancellation rules apply to each individual accommodation on our pages, and the same will be highlighted under the section "CANCELLATION RULES", which may be different from those listed above, and the same will automatically take priority over the "General conditions for providing accommodation services".
