General Terms and Conditions for Reservation or Cancelation

1. Making a Reservation

After having checked availability of the apartment or studio that you wish to book, you will need to send us 50% of the reservation’s price by the method of your choice (See Below in the payment methods section).

Reservations will only be firm after Kakatar received the payment of the reservation fee. Please do check with us that your payment has been accepted before making any travel plans.

You can send us your proof of payment or reservation request by email: contact@kakatar.com or by fax: +44 207 681 2326.

2. Information requested

Along with your reservation’s deposit, it is essential that you supply us with the following information for all of the guests: Last Name, First Name, Nationality, Date of Birth and the dates of your stay.

If you need us to pick you up at the airport, we will also need your flight information (extra cost).

3. Additional guests

Any additional guests will only be admitted after consulting and being authorized by the manager. If too many people are staying in a studio or an apartment, the manager reserves the right to refuse extra guests or to charge a supplement.

4. Cancelation Policy

• Cancelation more than 30 days before arrival: If you wish to cancel more than 30 days before your arrival date, you will be refunded in full, less a 10% for administration fees.
• Cancelation less than 30 days before arrival: If you ask for a refund less than 30 days before your arrival date, you will lose 50% of the total reservation, unless arranged otherwise with the manager. If you cancel, make sure that the manager has received and acknowledged your cancelation request.
• In case of no-show: The hotel requires 100% of the total booking amount.
• Excursions and other services: Any cancelled excursions will incur an 80% charge, unless we are able to make better cancelation arrangements (This will depend on vehicle rental conditions, partner hotels, drivers and tour-guides).

Cancellation must be confirmed by one of our consultants. If you do not receive a confirmation email of the cancelation within 24 hours after submission, it means we have not received your request and you must resubmit or contact us for verification.
