to cancel the property booking without any refund.

We will not accept responsibility for cash sent through the post. Payment can be made by bank

transfer to our bank account only, or by debit/credit card (on the latter a 3% bank charge will

apply).

 

Confirmation

​

Please always check your booking summary confirmation and all other documents you receive

from us immediately. You must contact us straightaway if any information appears to be incorrect

as it may not be possible to make changes at a later stage.

On top of that, we might send various automated emails to the email address used whilst booking

your holiday. Those emails are related to bookings terms and conditions, directions to the

property, instructions on how to access the holiday property and finally information about the guest

list. Therefore, it is the customer’s responsibility to acknowledge and agree with the content

provided or request additional clarifications. Unless we hear from you otherwise, we understand

that you understood and agreed with the entire conditions and information provided.

We are responsible for providing the holiday home we have confirmed with you. If you cancel or

alter your booking at any stage later, you may have to pay a cancellation fee, or an amendment

charge respectively. Booking is confirmed when the deposit payment is reached our bank and

relevant confirmation is provided to you.

 

Cancellations

​

Cancellation by You

All cancellations must be submitted to us in writing, either by email at

bookings@cyprusinthesunholidays.com or by post and will be considered effective from the date

of receipt by us.

You may cancel your booking at any time; however, a cancellation fee will apply as follows:

​

 Between 8 to 10 weeks before arrival: 50% of accommodation cost.

​

 Less than 8 weeks before arrival: 100% of accommodation cost.

​

Although, any money paid, may be transferable to another booking date if such a request is

communicated to us more than 10 weeks away from the arrival date.

 

Cancellation by Property Owners

​

The property owner reserves the right to cancel any reservation. In this unlikely event, you will be

offered the option of renting another property (subject to availability) with the price difference

payable/refundable as appropriate or a full refund. We will not pay any compensation.

 

Property Check-in / Check-out Times

​

Arrival check-in time is 16:00hrs and you should vacate the property no later than 11:00hrs on the

day of departure.

Please note that an additional fee could be imposed for late check-outs dependent upon your

departure time. Upon making any reservations, please consider that your flight may arrive in the

early hours of the morning or late in the previous evening, in which case, if you require immediate

access to the property, you should add an extra night to your rental period. This may equally

apply to your departure, where your flight might leave late at night or early the next morning

whereby you need to add an extra night to your rental period.

Late check-outs are at the discretion of the property owner and the availability of the property and

cannot be confirmed in advance unless they are paid for.

 

Holiday Insurance

​

We strongly recommend you arrange for holiday insurance before your holidays.

In case of cancellations or accidents that may occur during your holidays, our role is to provide

witnesses and information to both guests’ and property owner’s insurance companies. It is

expressly clarified to the guests that the property owner’s representative/reseller will not take

any responsibility in such cases. Such an unfortunate event, if ever happens, will be sorted out

between the guests and the property owner.

 

Pool Heating

​

Please note that pool heating will only increase the temperature of the water, in most cases, by 3-

5 degrees maximum above the outside air temperature. If you would like the pool

temperature to be at its maximum, you need to notify us at least 72 hours before your arrival

date. Pool heating is charged extra at Euros (€) 50-100 per day depending on the property and

the pool size.

 

Electricity Fair Usage

​

For any bookings that are made with us for any of the properties featured on our website, the

amount of electricity usage per week which is included in the weekly rental price is as follows:

​

 3-Bedroom properties include 250 units per week, any additional units are charged at

Euros (€) 30 cents per kWh.

​

 For 4-bedroom properties with 300 units per week, any additional units are charged at

Euros (€) 30 cents per kWh.

​

 For each additional bedroom, the base free amount will increase by 50 units and the

charge for the extra units used will always be Euros (€) 30 cents per kWh unless specified

differently in the booking conditions of the property.

 

Before you arrive at the property, a meter reading will be taken for the electricity and a reading

upon your departure will be taken. Where applicable the extra charges will be deducted from the

security deposit.

 

Air-Conditioning

​

The use of air-conditioning is the responsibility of all members of the party. Please ensure that it

is only used when the property is occupied. All windows and doors are to be kept firmly closed

when the air-conditioning is in use and under no circumstances are the units to be left on

continuously while the property is unoccupied. Unreasonable use of air conditioning will result in

unfair use of electricity and in such an event it will be deducted from your security deposit.

 

Occupancy

​

The number of occupants shall not exceed the number stated in the property specifications. In

such an event, the property owner has the right to terminate the booking and request vacant

possession of the property within 2 hours without any refund.

It is not permitted to sub-let all or part of the property to any other person or persons. It is also not

permitted to allow other people to stay at the property or use the property’s facilities without prior

notice.

 

Changes to Property Specifications

​

We act solely as managers or resellers for property owners and, as such, cannot control or

prevent changes being made to properties. Although changes to properties are infrequent, we

reserve the right to change the description of any property or service at any time. We shall

endeavour to notify you of any changes before your arrival date if it is practical to do so. No claims

will be accepted for costs or additional expenses incurred because of any changes and no

compensation will be paid.

 

Building Works

​

We undertake to notify our clients as soon as we become aware of any construction activity which

may affect their enjoyment of a rental property. However, we cannot be held responsible for

construction work, carried out by third parties, in proximity to any of the properties listed on our

website. We are generally not notified in advance and are not involved in the planning of these

works. In most cases, we are in no position to prevent or demand the cessation of any construction

work.

 

Breakages, Damage and Cleanliness Deposit

​

All accommodation is available for letting on the understanding that the properties will be left

clean and tidy at the time of check-out and all personal litter must be removed from the property.

Customers are not permitted to move any furniture or equipment without our prior consent or the

property owner’s prior consent. In the event of such permission being granted, it is the customers’

responsibility to return the same to its original location before check-out. Under no circumstances

should any furniture or other items, made for use inside the property, be moved outside.

Before your arrival, a minimum-security deposit of Euros (€) 150 per property (some properties

require higher amounts – if this applies to your property you will be notified in advance) will need

 

to be blocked on your credit card or maybe taken in cash upon arrival. This amount is dependent

on the risk level of the party. The occupancy of a rental property is subject to conditions of Fair

Use. We accept fair wear and tear to the property, its furniture, equipment, fixtures and fittings.

However, damage above and beyond that, which may normally be considered fair wear and tear,

caused or carried out by the occupant(s) or by guests of the occupant(s), will be deemed to be

the responsibility of said occupant(s) and financial compensation will be sought. This

compensation is not limited to the amount of the security deposit. In the event of such

an occurrence, the incident must be reported to the property owner, immediately.

Furthermore, a consistent abuse of the property and/or its contents may result in summary eviction.

 

Behaviour and Common Sense

​

At all times during your holiday, you are expected to have consideration for your fellow group

members and other third parties. All visitors are kindly requested to conduct themselves reasonably and responsibly which does not cause offence or danger to others or risk

damage to property/property premises / premised belongings or any belongings of others.

Please use common sense about others by not creating excessive noise. To avoid injury, please

refrain from running on tiled flooring while your feet are wet. Do not sit on furniture or bedding

when you are wet or wearing sun lotion.

Please treat the property with respect so that others may enjoy the accommodation too.

dishwashers, fridges, freezers, swimming pools etc., although, we will endeavour to repair the

the problem as soon as possible. We and/or the property owners shall not be liable to pay any

compensation.

No responsibility is accepted by us and/or the property owners regarding the occupants; personal

safety or any accidents or injury sustained on the property grounds. Particularly, your attention is

requested regarding the supervision of children when using spas and swimming pools, as no

lifeguards are on duty.
