For bookings made within 14 days of arrival, full payment, by cleared funds, is required at the time of booking. In the event of a cancellation within this period no refund will be given. If booking by telephone, once
RHJ Stays Ltd has confirmed acceptance of your payment details; or if booking via our website or email and the requested apartment is available, once you receive
confirmation by email of your booking, your booking is then booked. Should payment not reach RHJ Stays Ltd within the required time stated, RHJ Stays Ltd reserves the right to cancel any booking made and any money paid will be forfeited. Failure to pay in accordance with the agreed terms of payment may result in the suspension of Accommodation. RHJ Stays Ltd reserves the right to charge interest on overdue accounts.

4. Accommodation

You are only granted a licence to occupy the Accommodation for the duration of your booking and this agreement gives you no other rights either express or implied to the Accommodation.

5. Occupancy

The number of people permitted to occupy each apartment is limited to the number of beds. In some properties, extra sleeping accommodation can be arranged.

6. Duty of Care/Responsibility

It is the responsibility of the Guest to ensure they are respectful to other people staying within the building/area in which they are staying. Guests must also ensure noise levels are restricted. All properties are fitted with noise monitoring equipment, which does not record sound but measures the decibels within the property. Guests must not tamper with or cover or remove this equipment. Reports of excess noise from other people staying within the building/area in which they are staying, to RHJ Stays Ltd, will mean automatic immediate termination of the stay. In addition, Guests have a responsibility and duty of care to ensure damage is not deliberately inflicted on the property or its contents. Smoking is prohibited and any evidence of this in the apartment will incur penalties. Such damages will be charged to the Guest via invoice payable within 7 working days. Guests are not permitted to use the property for any illegal or unsavoury activity such as selling or taking drugs or sex work.

7. Arrivals and Departures

Guests can check in to their apartment from 4 pm on the day of arrival. On arrival, you will be asked to check the Accommodation and accept your stay. Check-out is at 10 am on the day of departure.

Key collection details will be provided prior to the check-in date and will not be released until this contract has been signed and identification of the lead guest submitted.

Early Departures – in the event that a guest needs to check out prior to the agreed departure date, RHJ Stays Ltd will class the departure as the end of the stay and arrange for the property to be cleaned.
