TERMS AND CONDITIONS


Hotel el Pantano Reservation policy:
The below Reservation Policy is valid only for all reservations made through our Online Reservation channel manager Freetobook directly on our website (http://www.hotelelpantano.com) or through our Facebook reservation option which is linked to Freetobook as well (https://www.facebook.com/hotelpantano).

As our hotel is included on some external Hotel Booking websites as well, this reservation policy might be different on these websites. In this case we strongly advice to review the Reservation Policy on these external websites.

I: RESERVATION POLICY

1) Valid credit card details are required when making the booking to make your reservation valid

When we receive your reservation we will verify the credit card details with a test transaction of C$ 1,00 (one cordoba, about 0.03 USD) charged to your credit card.

If the test shows that the card is not valid we will contact you to provide new, valid, credit card details within the next 24 hours. If a client fails repeatedly to submit valid credit card details, we will CANCEL the reservation.
The client will be informed about this with an email to the registered email adress. A copy of this email will serve as proof that we cancelled the reservation.

If the test transaction is succesful, we will reverse/cancel the C$1,00 charge on your credit card and CONFIRM your reservation.

2) No advance payment is required if your arrival date is more than 7 days after your booking date

We will not charge your credit card until 7 days before your arrival date when the free cancellation period has ended.

3) Your credit card will be charged with a 50% advance payment 7 days before your arrival date

At that day we will charge your credit card with 50% of the total reservation amount.

If for any reason your credit card details we have on file are not valid anymore (maybe you lost your card?) we will contact you to submit new valid credit card details within the next 24 hours. If a client fails repeatedly to submit valid credit card details, we will CANCEL the reservation. The client will be informed about this with an email to the registered email adress. A copy of this email will serve as proof that we cancelled the reservation.

4) Free cancellation can be made 8 days or more before the arrival date

If you cancel your reservation 8 days or more before your arrival date, no charge will be applied to your credit card and we will cancel your reservation without any cost. The client will be informed about this with an email to the registered email adress. A copy of this email will serve as proof that we cancelled the reservation.

5) Cancelations within 7 days before the arrival date will be charged 50% of the total reservation value

If you cancel your reservation seven days or less before your arrival date, no refund will be made of the 50% charged to your credit card as advance payment. The client will be informed about this with an email to the registered email adress. A copy of this email will serve as proof that we cancelled the reservation.

6) In case of “No Show” we charge the full reservation amount (100%)

In the case of NO SHOW, we will charge the remaining 50% of your reservation as well to  your credit card. The client will be informed about this with an email to the registered email adress. A copy of this email will serve as proof that we cancelled the reservation.
