Frequently given answers to frequently asked questions

The rental property is not owned by Sanders, but by the Home Owner. If, contrary to what Sanders intends, a booking cannot be made for reasons beyond Sanders' control, e.g. sale by court order or breach of contract by the Home Owner or similar causes, Sanders will have the right to cancel the reservation with the immediate return of the rent paid to the Guest. Alternatively, subject to availability, Sanders may offer the Guest, at its own discretion, an equivalent rental property in the same area and at the same price.

If the stay of the Guest in the holiday home is impossible or seriously hindered, SANDERS will refund the booking on certain cases:

Due to the death, illness or serious injury requiring hospitalization, bed rest by medical prescription or other conditions of a similar nature, of any of the persons indicated at the time of formalizing the Reservation or their spouses, children, parents, siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, and in-laws. Serious illness means a newly contracted illness (since the date of booking) or an unexpected aggravation of an existing or chronic illness.

The following conditions will apply:

a) That, within 24 hours after contracting the illness, the Guest has notified SANDERS in writing of this fact, and that the cancellation has been communicated to SANDERS no later than 12:00 noon on the day of arrival indicated in the booking confirmation.

b) That SANDERS has received documentation about the incident that justifies the cancellation, that is, a medical or death certificate, within 3 days (72 hours), counting from the notification. The fees for the issuance of any certificate, report or statement will be paid by the Guest.

c) The Guest will be covered by this guarantee from the date of reservation until the date of occupation of the holiday home. There is no coverage, therefore, once the lease period has begun, nor in the event of early departure for the reasons indicated above.

d) Cancellation protection cannot be requested in the event of force majeure or extraordinary events or circumstances.
