Pricing 

We adopt dynamic pricing and the price of our rooms, products and services fluctuates based on demand and other factors. Before confirming a reservation or purchase, we will provide you with a total price for the requested number of rooms and nights, together with the charges for any additional products or services you may have added. Depending on the room rate selected, payment may be due at the time the reservation is made through website, or at a later date, for example, upon check-in at the relevant hotel. 

The prices appearing on the website are only valid for 24hrs. The prices cover only the specific items appearing in the box close to the rate. All prices are inclusive of VAT. If ever there is a change in taxes or in dues, you undertake to pay all additional taxes or dues which may be applicable between the time of the booking and the time the services are actually delivered/goods are actually sold.

Prices on the website do not include insurance. Sous le Badamier strongly recommends taking travel insurance.

The price you pay is the price quoted to you at the time you make your reservation or purchase, except that if Value Added Taxes or other government taxes or surcharges are included within the price and change between the date of your reservation or purchase and the date of your stay, we will adjust the rate that you pay unless you have already paid for the reservation, product or service in full before the change takes effect. 

Unless otherwise indicated, meals and other extras are not included in the room price but you may be able to add them to your reservation during the booking process or they may be available to you during your stay. Also, the prices quoted do not include passport or visa handling, travel insurance, airport and port taxes, gratuities or other similar charges unless otherwise stated. 

You may pay using any one of the currencies supported by our site. The applicable exchange rates of the supported currencies shall be determined at our sole discretion, or by our payment processing provider, as the case may be. We shall not be liable for any exchange rate losses incurred by you as a result of any credit card or other transactions effected through our website. 

Payment 

We require customers to provide their bank details as a guarantee of the reservation, except for special conditions or rates, using a credit card or debit card, indicating directly in the area provided for this purpose (secure entry by SSL encryption) the card number without spaces, its expiry date and the card security code, as prepayment via our chosen payment platform. Alternative payment methods (such as PayPal, bank transfers, direct debit) may also be permitted to prepay via our payment platform, subject to our discretion to accept such payments. 

If the customer wishes to reserve multiple rooms or package elements, but prepayment is only required for one of these rooms or elements, for example, the payment method used on our payment platform enables the room or element in question to be prepaid while the specified payment method acts as a guarantee for the other rooms and elements. 

In case Sous le Badamier has to have recourse to the services of an Attorney at Law to recover any sum due or pursuant to those terms and conditions or any other conditions governing Sous le Badamier’s legal relationship with you, you agree to pay the attorney’s commission amounting to 10% (+VAT) of such sum together with any disbursement and expenses.

You are solely responsible for the choice of services and their suitability, such that Sous le Badamier shall not be held responsible in this respect. The reservation or booking is deemed accepted by you at the end of the reservation and booking process. 

When you make a booking, your card is debited with the full amount of the booking at the time the booking is made.

In the event of a refund, the relevant amounts will be transferred back by Sous le Badamier to the credit card used to make the original booking. Any booking charges applied will not be eligible for reimbursement.

 

Any change requested after a reservation or booking has been confirmed must be addressed by email to the reservation department of the Hotel in respect of which the booking has been made.
