At the time of booking or at check-in, we will take your credit/debit card details and you authorize the use of this card for any sums that become owing to us. We shall also have the right to require full payment in advance or a deposit at the time of booking in certain circumstances or if the booking includes the supply of certain items or services. No booking shall be treated as confirmed until the details and/or payment/deposit described in this paragraph have been provided. Payment of the deposit constitutes your acceptance and confirmation of the cancellation and use policies, restrictions, and additional information given in these terms and conditions. If a credit card is used for advance deposits or payments, you hereby agree to have the advance deposits and payments listed in rental confirmation charged to the credit card, and further agree that said amounts shall be subject to the deposit and cancellation policies.

All outstanding charges must be paid in full upon check-out. If the outstanding charges do not exceed the authorization taken on check-in, the authorization for the amount not utilized will be released, however, we cannot control how long it takes for your bank to affect such release. If staying for multiple nights, we may require you to make payment for any outstanding charges on a more frequent basis during your stay.
