Cancellation Policy
• All cancellations must be confirmed in writing (by recorded delivery).
• No refunds will be made for non-arrivals.
• The booking will be cancelled on the day that the written notice of cancellation is received by us.
Bookings for properties such as our apartments are almost invariably made well in advance and for relatively lengthy stays in comparison with hotels or other travel accommodation. It is very difficult, therefore, to re-let an apartment after a booking has been cancelled particularly at short notice. However, we will make every reasonable effort to re-let your apartment if we receive a notice of cancellation from you and if we are able to re-let it for the whole of the period of your booking we will refund all money you have paid (including all booking fees but excluding, where applicable, any amendment charges, and credit card charges you have already incurred) after deducting any costs (such as marketing and/or administration costs) reasonably incurred by us in connection with the re-letting.
If it is not possible to re-let the apartment for the full period booked then a cancellation charge will be payable, based on the number of days before your arrival date that we receive written notification of your cancellation, as shown in the following table. This means that if you have paid the balance of your total cost and then have to, or wish to, cancel, you may receive a refund of part of such cost. However, if you have not paid your total cost by the time of your cancellation, you may be required to make a further payment by way of cancellation charge. For the purpose of this table, cost means the total cost of the booking, including any extra items already booked by you.
Number of days before arrival date that written notification of cancellation is received by us
Amount payable
* 14 days + £35 + VAT administration charge
* 14 - 0 days 100% of total fee due up to a maximum of 7 nights
* Plus £35 + VAT administration charge
In addition, any security deposit paid by you will be refunded in full, unless there are any outstanding charges due to us, in which case you agree that we are entitled to use the security deposit towards such outstanding charges.
Depending on the reasons for your cancellation, you may be able to reclaim cancellation charges from your insurance company if you have taken out travel insurance. We strongly recommend that clients purchase adequate travel insurance. Regrettably, for the reasons given above, we have to treat any curtailment of your stay as a cancellation.
If Shortstaymk Serviced Apartments cancels booking
In the unlikely event of your booking having to be changed or cancelled, we will contact you (by telephone where reasonably possible in the case of a significant change or cancellation) as soon as is reasonably practical, to explain what has happened and inform you of the cancellation or change.
If a significant change has to be made (and the change is not acceptable to you) or your booking has to be cancelled, we will, if possible and as soon as reasonably practical, offer you an alternative apartment of similar type and standard in a similar location for the same dates. In such circumstances, the advertised cost of the Shortstaymk Apartments will be payable. Obviously, if the alternative apartment is advertised at a lower price, you will receive a refund (if you have already paid the balance of your total cost) of the price difference.
If you do not wish to accept a significant change or any alternative apartment offered or we cannot offer you a suitable alternative apartment, you will receive a full refund of all monies paid to us.
You should inform us as soon as reasonably possible whether you wish to accept any change or alternative apartment offered, or alternatively whether you want a refund. In the unlikely event that you fail to tell us that you wish to accept any change or alternative apartment we are entitled to assume you wish to cancel your booking and receive a full refund of all monies paid to us. |
