Terms of Use

Booking Terms & Conditions


Introduction

These are the terms and conditions that govern all bookings made on this website. All references to "We", "Us" or "Our" in these terms refer to the operator of this website, which is ultimately owned by Bookability.io


Bookings and Website Use Governed by These Terms

Your use of this website and any bookings you make via this website are subject to these terms of use (the 'Terms'). You agree to use this website in accordance with and subject to these Terms.

The Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Bookability.io.

If you do not accept these Terms, do not use this website and do not make a booking via the website.

We facilitate the processing and booking of accommodation and other travel services (the "travel services"). We do not provide, own or run any travel services ourselves and in particular we do not provide, own or run any accommodation.

You confirm that you are of sufficient age to lawfully use this website, enter into a contract and to create binding legal obligations for any liability you may incur as a result of the use of this website. You understand that you are financially responsible for all uses of this website by you and those using your log-in information.

When you make a booking on the website, you agree to enter into a contract for travel services and your contract for travel services (including accommodation) is with the travel services provider, not our website, which is acting as agent for the travel services provider. It is the travel services provider's responsibility to provide you with the travel services. We are not responsible for the fulfilment of any booking made through our website or for the quality of any accommodation or any other travel services that are booked.

You may be asked to review the travel services that you have received. We appreciate all feedback, but please note that we may share your review with the travel services provider in question so that they can act on your feedback and make any necessary improvements. The travel services providers will have your contact details and may contact you to ask further questions about your experiences in order to help them to make further improvements.


Making and Cancelling a Booking

On making a booking, you will be required to pay a non-refundable deposit (being a fixed percentage of the total value of your booking) which will always be non-refundable unless you select the Standard Flexible Booking option, in which case the deposit will be credited back to your account if you cancel your booking in certain circumstances (see below for more details). We collect this deposit for and on behalf of the relevant travel services provider.

You will also be required to pay a flat booking fee, which is our fee for making the booking and this is non-refundable in all circumstances.

You will be responsible to the travel services provider on arrival for payment of the balance of the cost of the booking made by you, together with any other payments for any additional services subsequently agreed with the travel services provider and, where applicable, payment of the travel services provider's service charges and taxes, pursuant to the terms and conditions of trade applied by such travel services provider.

You must use a credit card or debit card to guarantee a booking. By making a booking with your credit card or debit card, you agree to accept the relevant cancellation and no-show policy of the travel services provider as set out in its terms and conditions. In the event that you cancel your booking outside the permitted timeframe specified in this policy (or that you fail to arrive by your agreed check-in time), you authorise the travel services provider to charge to your credit card or debit card without further reference to you an amount not exceeding the charge for one night's stay (in the case of accommodation) or such other amount as may be set out in the travel service provider's terms and conditions.

Your non-arrival by the agreed check-in time may result in the cancellation of your entire booking. Any amendments to your booking must be notified to and agreed with the travel services provider directly (but no refund of all or any part of the deposit will be made). In making a booking, it shall be your responsibility to disclose to the travel services provider any requirements or special facilities that you or a member of your party may need as a result of any medical conditions.

When a booking is confirmed we will issue the booking confirmation on behalf of the travel services provider for each booking, but will not provide information about any charges for additional services or details of the service charge or taxes charged by the travel services provider. We strongly recommend you check and confirm with the travel services provider the precise terms and conditions upon which the travel services provider makes the reserved service available to you upon receipt of the booking confirmation. The reference numbers included on the booking confirmation should be quoted in all enquiries, cancellation or modification of the booking.

You may cancel your booking in accordance with the cancellation policy of the provider as disclosed on the booking confirmation and detailed property description page; this is normally at least 24 hours before your agreed check-in time and date. Please cancel via your account by logging in at https://app.bookability.io.

Deposits and booking fees are non refundable in the event of a cancellation unless you have selected the standard flexible booking option, in which case, the deposit will be credited back to your account.

If you choose the Standard Flexible Booking option when making your booking you will be charged a small fee and, in return, if you later decide to cancel your booking, your deposit will be credited back to your Bookability.io account in US Dollars (provided you have given the period of notice required by the travel services provider, for which please see its terms) and you will be able to re-use that credit amount for future bookings on our site for a period of 6 months on and from the cancellation date. Your booking fee is non-refundable.

If you choose to make a Non-Flexible Booking and you cancel your booking then, regardless of how much notice you give, Deposits and booking fees will be non-refundable. If you don't select the Flexible Booking option, your booking will be considered to be a Non-Flexible Booking. Non-flexible booking customers should note that, even though your deposit and booking fee will be non-refundable in any event, you must give the amount of notice stipulated by the travel services provider in its cancellation policy, in order to avoid being charged an additional payment for a "no show".

Where you select Standard Flexible Booking for your booking, the following provisions will apply:

  • Your deposit will only be credited back where:
    • you have given the amount of notice for your cancellation that is required by the travel services provider in its Terms and Conditions and, in any event, you have given no less than 24 hours' notice prior to the scheduled check-in date and time;
    • you have processed your cancellation online through your Bookability.io account (which you can access by clicking on the "My Account" log-in at the top of our website); and
    • you have cancelled your full booking (partial cancellations, such as cancellations of 1 night of a 2-night stay, are not protected by cancellation protection).
  • Your cancellation credit will be applied to the account which is linked in our records to the email address that was used to process the initial booking. Credit cannot be applied to an account that does not relate to the booking email address.
  • Cancellation credit must be used within the period which is 6 months on from the cancellation date, after which it is forfeited. Credit will not be applied to your account in respect of cancellations made by telephone or email.
  • In order to use your cancellation credit, simply go to our website and make a booking using the same email address. You credit will be automatically applied to your booking once you confirm the reservation.
  • Credit may only be used once. Where you cancel any subsequent bookings, you must have selected the Standard Flexible Booking option for those bookings in order for your deposit(s) to be protected and credited back to your account.
  • Cancellation credit only applies to deposits for accommodation bookings; it cannot be used in respect of other charges levied via our website – e.g. booking fees or other purchases.
  • In the event of a no-show without cancellation (or where insufficient notice is given of a cancellation in accordance with these and/or the travel services provider's terms and conditions) all deposits, including deposits paid through the Standard Flexible Booking option will be non-refundable and the travel services provider will have the right to charge your credit card on the basis set out in clause 2.2. (above).

If you selected neither the Standard Flexible Booking option nor the Non-Flexible Booking option, your booking will automatically be deemed a Non-Flexible Booking.

We will try to ensure that the travel services provider processes your bookings correctly.

The deposit and the booking fee that you pay will be payable in the currency that you select as your "settlement currency" when making your booking. Where the accommodation price was uploaded by the travel services provider in a different currency, the deposit amount that you will be charged in your settlement currency will be calculated by converting the deposit price into your settlement currency using the Bookability.io standard exchange rates.
