Booking Process

Guests can offer to make a booking through the Website by following the processes for making an availability request set out on the Website and below.

Once your availability request has been made, the concerned Host will be notified and may accept or reject the availability request. Hosts are required to either confirm or reject your availability request at any time. If the availability request is subsequently accepted by the Host through our Website, you will receive an automated email confirming the Host's booking availability.

If you are still interested for that booking, you should click on the BOOK NOW button, and the concerned Host will be notified and may accept or reject the booking request. Hosts are required to either confirm or reject your availability request within 24 hours of that request, after which the booking request shall automatically expire. If the booking request is subsequently accepted by the Host through our Website, you will receive an automated email confirming the Host's booking confirmation, and the Host's relevant contact details, and your relevant contact details will also be forwarded to the Host. The payment process described below will also apply upon receipt of a booking confirmation.
If at any time prior to clicking on the appropriate confirmation button the Guest decides that does not wish to proceed with the booking, Guest should close the application window.

Once such contact details have been provided, all communication for example, concerning details and information about the booking including, without limitation, arrival times and handling of keys, should be direct between you and the Host through our Website as facilitated by our Service where required/applicable.

You will be able to access details of your booking confirmation through your account and email.

Upon receipt of the booking confirmation mail, Guests enter into a direct contract with the concerned Host. Hosts are not obliged to make any property available until a booking confirmation has been sent via the Website to Users and a Guest is not guaranteed a booking with a Host until payment has been made by the Guest subject to this Agreement. However, upon issuing a booking confirmation, Hosts shall be solely responsible for providing the accommodation referred to in the booking confirmation.

If a Guest clicks the BOOK NOW button, they will be responsible and liable to pay the relevant Host in full the rental rate due for such booking subject, in each case, to this Agreement and any other terms and conditions specific to the booking as agreed between a Guest and their Host. In order to secure collection of such payment, Guests will be asked during the booking process to provide payment card information and billing address. If your booking request is accepted by the Host for the dates set out in your request and you click the BOOK NOW button, the payment process described below will apply. If a booking request is refused, expires, or is cancelled, you should contact us at [email protected] in order to release any pre-authorisation of your payment card.

As a Guest, if you cancel your booking, the provisions and refund levels referred to below will apply. Please note that no refunds will be provided after the last deadline set out in the cancellation policy selected by the concerned Host. Furthermore, our Fees (as defined below) are non-refundable. Any money collected and received by Company from Guests for bookings made on the Website shall be held by Company subject to a conditional obligation to transfer or account for such money to Hosts less our Fees.

If you are a Host and a booking is requested for your Accommodation via the Website, you will be required to either confirm or reject the booking within 24 hours of when the booking is requested (as determined by Company in its sole discretion) or the booking request will be automatically cancelled.

Payment and Refund

When the rental transaction is concluded with a Host via our Website, the Guest accepts and agrees to pay an amount equal to the fees displayed in the Host's accommodation on our Website and confirmed in each booking confirmation as agreed with a Host. The fees displayed in a Host's accommodation on our Website include: (a) the rental rate and any additional charges as solely determined and set by the Host (and not us) in respect of the rental transaction, plus any applicable taxes and VAT ("Host Fee"); and (b) a service fee, chargeable and disclosed to Hosts by the Company based upon a percentage (typically 15%) of the Host Fee, in consideration of supplying our Services to Hosts to the extent that such supplies enable such Hosts to connect and conclude transactions with Guests and which shall be added by way of a mark - up on top of the Host Fee; (" Company’s Fees" or “Our Fees”). Our Fees are non-refundable and are exclusive of any applicable Taxes and VAT which may be charged in addition thereon, and shall be added to the Host Fee to calculate the total amount payable by the Guest for the stay.

The Company shall collect a payment from you (the Guest) equal to the Host Fee and our Fees through the Website immediately when the Host accepts your booking and a booking confirmation is sent to you by the Host. Hosts set the currency in which they require payment.

As referred to in the present Agreement, the Company shall initiate the payment, less our Fees, to the bank account of the Host in the currency set by the Host within two UK business days (meaning days that banks are open in UK) of the planned date of the Guest's check-in at the rental property, subject to any other arrangement as may be agreed between a Host and the Company.

As a Guest, you hereby authorise and agree that the Company shall debit (whether directly or indirectly via a third party payment processor, subject to that third party's terms and conditions) your payment card of the amount of the Host Fee plus our Fees upon confirmation of your booking by the Host. You also agree to pay any other charges agreed with the Host before the booking confirmation that weren't included in the payment when you arrive at the property or as otherwise agreed with the Host. You will receive a further notification email for receipt of the payment.

The payment shall be taken by a debit of the Host Fee plus our Fees from one of the acceptable payment methods listed on the Website (Viva, Paypal and Stripe) and such payment shall be taken in the currency set by the Host. Payments by cash or cheque are not accepted, and accordingly we cannot be held liable for any loss of cash or cheques. As a Guest, you agree to pay all fees and charges contained in the Host's booking confirmation as accessed through your account, irrespective of whether the Service was accessed by you or by a third party using your Account.

We serve as a limited authorized agent of the Host for the purpose of accepting payments from Guests on behalf of the Host and we are responsible for transmitting such payments to the Host.

Appointment of the Company as Payment Agent of Hosts

Each Host by registering in the Webiste appoints the Company as the Host's limited agent solely for the purpose of collecting payments made by Guests on behalf of the Host. Each Host agrees that payment made by a Guest to the Company shall be considered the same as a payment had been made directly to the Host and that the Host will make the accommodation available to Guest in the agreed upon manner as if the Host has received the accommodation Fees. Each Host agrees that the Company may, in accordance with the cancellation policy selected by the Host and reflected in the relevant accommodation (a) permit the Guest to cancel the booking and (b) refund to the Guest that portion of the Accommodation Fees specified in the applicable cancellation policy. In accepting appointment as a limited authorized agent of the Host, we assume no liability for any acts or omissions of the Host.

Our primary goal in collecting information is to provide you with an enhanced experience when using the Travelstaytion service. We use this information to closely monitor which features of the Travelstaytion service are used most, to allow you to view your booking history, view any promotions we may currently be running, rate accommodations and Guests, and to determine which features we need to focus on improving, including usage patterns and geographic locations to determine where we should offer or focus services, features and/or resources, for troubleshooting and in some cases marketing purposes. The Company uses your Internet Protocol (IP) address to help diagnose problems with our computer server, and to administer the Website. Your IP address is used to help identify you, and to gather broad demographic data. Your IP address contains no personal information about you. We may also use your personal information to create anonymous information records by excluding information that makes the information personally identifiable to you. We will send you strictly service-related announcements on rare occasions when it is necessary to do so. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance, we might send you an email. Generally, you may not opt-out of these communications, which are not promotional in nature. If you do not wish to receive them, you have the option to deactivate your account. On the other hand, you can always opt out of receiving certain communications from Travelstaytion such as our newsletter by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of each email or emailing us at [email protected]. Please note that even if you unsubscribe or opt-out, we may still send you booking related communications (e.g., mail related to your booking).

Date of Last Revision: 01 March, 2022

Once you (the Guest) have made a reservation through our Website and have received a confirmation e-mail, you may wish to review, adjust or cancel your reservation. In this case please revert to the confirmation email and follow the instructions therein. Kindly bear in mind that: a) our Fees are not refundable under no circumstances (except the case of a cancellation by a Host – please refer below for more information) and b) you may be charged for your cancellation depending on the Host's cancellation (and no-show) policy. We recommend that you read the cancellation (and no-show) policy of each Host carefully prior to making your reservation.

We offer Hosts six different cancellation (and no-show) policies: i) super flexible, ii) flexible, iii) moderate, iv) strict, v) super strict, vi) firm
or vii) extremely strict as these policies are explained below. Each Host is free to choose the cancellation (and no-show) policy that best fits its needs.

The cancellation (and no-show) policy of each Host is made available on our Website at the accommodation information pages, during the reservation procedure and in the confirmation email, you will receive.

By making a reservation at a Host, you accept and agree to the relevant cancellation (and no-show) policy of that Host, and to any additional (delivery) terms and conditions of that Host which may apply to your reservation or during your stay, including for services rendered and/or products offered by the Host (the delivery terms and conditions of a Host can be obtained by the relevant Host).

Cancellation (and no-show) policies aim in protecting both Guests and Hosts and stipulate the amount of money that may be refunded to Guest in case of cancellation or no-show. The refunded amount of money is determined by the time the Guest cancels his/her reservation and by the selected cancellation (and no-show) policy from the Host. The refundable amount of money includes additional Guests’ charges and cleaning fees. The company’s fees are not refundable and are not included in the refundable amount.

Cancellation (no-show) policies:

i) SUPER FLEXIBLE

The guest will be refunded the full amount of the booking fees if (s)he cancels the booking up to one week prior to his/her arrival day (check-in) to the Host’s accommodation.
