↛ 2.8 Concierge Advise and Suppliers Recommendation

Essentially, you rely on your own judgment when using third-party services, and we are not liable for any issues that may arise.
3. Reservation Conditions
Please note that additional terms and conditions may apply to your reservation, in addition to these general conditions. Carefully review any additional terms and conditions, as they will govern your booking. You agree to comply with all rules and policies imposed by the Property you choose, including but not limited to timely payment and adherence to property guidelines.
↛ 3.1 Payment Terms
• If you make a booking request, the deposit payment must be made within 5 working days of availability confirmation. If funds are not received within 5 working days the reservation shall be deemed to have been cancelled and we, or the Property’s Owner or Owner’s Representative, reserves the right to allocate the Property to another client.
• If you book the travel service more than 65 (sixty five) days in advance of the arrival date, a 50% (fifty percent) of the total booking price should be paid to confirm the reservation.
• If you book the travel service less than 65 (sixty five) days before the arrival date, the total booking price is due, as a deposit, to confirm the reservation.
Payment of the balance of the total booking price must be made at least 65 (sixty five) days in advance of the arrival date. Failure to make payment in full within 50 (fifty) days of the first day of reservation will result in the cancellation of your reservation and the forfeiture of the Deposit.
We make no guarantee that a booking may be reserved by partial payment or deposit and any option to reserve will only be offered to you at the time of booking payment and in accordance with the terms above.
Please note that our payment terms supersede any specific payment conditions that may apply to some of our properties, except for properties for which the payment terms are stricter.
All rates are quoted in US Dollars (USD). The currency converter available on the Website is for informational purposes only.
Your confirmed booking price is guaranteed, regardless of future price changes on the Website. Please note that we cannot offer refunds for any exchange rate fluctuations that may benefit you.
↛ 3.2 Additional Costs
The quoted price typically includes all costs and surcharges (e.g.: taxes, utilities, staff salaries, or management fees). However, there might be exceptions outlined in the Property’s description, the booking confirmation, or reservation voucher. If there’s a discrepancy between these documents, the most recent information prevails.
↛ 3.3 Payment Methods
Local currency payments are accepted in USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, and SGD. Additional currencies may be available at the time of the booking.
Payments in foreign currencies are subject to currency exchange rate fluctuations and may incur bank and other fees.
Additional payment methods are available such as VISA, Mastercard, Union Pay, American Express, Google Pay and Apple Pay. A 3.5% processing fee applies for these payment methods.
Your bank or your credit/debit card provider may charge fees for international transactions. Additionally, they might convert the payment to your local currency, resulting in a different amount on your bank statement compared to our invoice.
In addition, the currency exchange rate and foreign transaction fee is determined solely by your bank on the day that they process the transaction. If you have any questions about these fees or the exchange rate applied to your booking, please contact your bank.
To avoid processing fees, payment can be made by bank transfer to our Singapore business account. Please note that you will need to instruct your bank to cover both the outgoing and incoming transfer fees.
4. Cancellation Policy
There may be specific cancellation policies that override these general terms. Please review any additional cancellation policies carefully.
All cancellation requests must be submitted in writing (email accepted) and will be processed according to the Property’s local time. Please note that cancellation fees apply and are determined by the date and time we receive your written notification and the length of your stay. Failure to adhere to these cancellation terms may result in financial penalties.
• 20% of the total rental amount will be forfeited if the cancellation is made more than 65 days before the start of the rental period.
• 50% of the total rental amount will be forfeited if the cancellation is made between 30 and 64 days before the start of the rental period.
• 100% of the total rental amount will be forfeited if the cancellation is made between 1 and 29 days before the start of the rental period.
• For no-show: all payments are forfeited.
• Any change of a confirmed booking is considered as a cancellation.
• Christmas and New Year Period: cancellations made after the deposit or final payment are non-refundable.
5. Cancellation or Dates Modification by the Property Owner
While unlikely, circumstances beyond our control may necessitate changes to your confirmed booking. We will inform you promptly if this occurs. If we cannot provide the booked Property, the Property’s Owner or Owner’s Representative reserves the right to cancel your reservation. We will attempt to offer an alternative property, but this cannot be guaranteed. If an alternative is unavailable or unacceptable to you, the Property’s Owner or Owner’s Representative will refund all payments except bank transfer charges. The Property’s Owner or Owner’s Representative is not liable for any additional costs or claims arising from this situation.
6. Security Deposit
You may be required to provide a security deposit, either in cash or by credit card upon or before check-in or by signing the Property’s liability waiver. This deposit is separate from your rental payment and is at the discretion of the Property’s Owner or Owner’s Representative. Failure to provide a security deposit may result in denial of access to the Property.
You are financially responsible for any damage, loss or breakage caused to the Property during your stay. Normal wear and tear is excluded, but the Property’s Owner or Owner’s Representative, at his sole discretion, will determine what constitutes acceptable use. If damages exceed the security deposit, you agree to pay the remaining amount.
Guests are responsible for any extra cleaning fees resulting from damage or negligence caused by anyone in the group. These charges will be deducted from the security deposit.
Guests are responsible for any damage to the property’s artwork or antiques. These items often have significant value. Costs for repair or replacement will be deducted from the security deposit. If damages exceed the deposit, guests will be held financially liable.
Certain activities, events or services may require additional fees, deposits, or signed waivers. Failure to comply with these requirements could result in cancellation of your booking, denial of service, forfeiture of payments, and potential additional charges.
7. Travel and Health Insurance
Although most travel, including travel to international destinations, is completed without incident, travel to certain destinations may involve greater risk than others. We urge travelers to review travel prohibitions, warnings, announcements and advisories issued by the government of the traveler’s origin and/or citizenship.
By offering Property rentals to particular international destinations, the Website does not represent or warrant that travel to such destinations is advisable or without risk, and is not liable for damages or losses that may result from travel to such destinations.
All guests must take out comprehensive liability and travel insurance covering for personal effects, personal accident, medical and emergency travel expenses, cancellation and curtailment.
All guests must ensure that you have the necessary and correct passport, visa and vaccination requirements to cover all the countries into which travel is planned.
8. Complaints
We, and the Property’s Owner or Owner’s Representative, are not responsible for interruptions in essential services such as water, electricity, internet, or pool filtration. While we, or the Property’s Owner or Owner’s Representative, will address issues promptly, service disruptions may occur due to the nature of the location. To expedite resolution, please report problems directly to local Property staff. Formal complaints must be submitted in writing within 24 hours.
