Booking can be made at either “Non refundable” or “Standard” rate. In general, it comes to guaranteeing the stay either by prepaying the whole stay or by pre-authorising the amount for first night. For further information, please consult our BOOKING GUARANTEE, PAYMENT AND CANCELLATION POLICY.

Note that a CREDIT CARD is necessary to complete the process.

Children under the age of 6.99 can stay free of charge when sharing their parents’ room. Cribs/baby cots will be provided for children up to 2 years old.

You can choose between 2 rates:

• NON REFUNDABLE RATE – paid fully in advance with no option for cancellation;
• STANDARD RATE – full payment at check-in and free cancellation up to 24h before the arrival date.

NON REFUNDABLE RATE is where you have fully paid for the hotel in advance. Your credit card will be charged for the full amount on the day the reservation is received, and there is nothing more to pay other than incidents (minibar, room service, etc).

In case of cancellation, amendment or No show, this amount is non refundable (fully or partially).

* If the credit card is invalid or there are insufficient credit funds, the reservation will be considered as non-guaranteed and will be dismissed without prior notice.

STANDARD RATE is where you pay the whole amount upon check-in and only provide your credit card details to guarantee the booking. You can modify or cancel your booking free of charge up to 1 day prior to the date of arrival.

When you have opted for the standard rate, we will only block the amount for the first night of the stay 30 days before the accommodation date. This means that we will not charge in advance your credit card except in case of No show or late cancellation. Upon your arrival at the hotel this amount will be unblocked and you will be able to choose how to pay in full for your hotel stay: in cash or by card.

If you cancel your booking more than 24 hours before the check-in date, we will release the authorization on the same day.

Note that it usually takes up to a few working days to clear the pre-authorization in your bank account.

* If you modify the stay dates, the number of guests or the room type, there could be a difference from the initial price.

* In case of invalid credit card or insufficient funds, the reservation will not be considered as guaranteed and will be dismissed without prior notice.

We accept such bookings under certain conditions.

When the cardholder’s name is different from guest’s name presented in the reservation, for security reasons our bank requires permission from the cardholder to charge their credit card for the purposes of prepaying another person’s hotel stay.

The details that need to be filled in by the cardholder in the official authorisation form are as follows:

• credit card details – if we have already received your credit card number via secured connection, for example via our reservation form, you could write down the last 4 digits only.
• the amount to be charged;
• name of the guest that will stay at our hotel;
• full name and signature of the cardholder.

As an additional security measure it is also necessary to send us scans of both sides of the credit card and ID of the cardholder. All of these documents will be used only for the purposes of the reservation.
Please, let us know beforehand if the card owner will be one of the guests. In this case you would be required to show us the credit card in question and fill in the authorization form and verify the payment with your signature upon arrival at the hotel.

As soon as we receive the necessary papers, we will be able to charge/authorise the card and guarantee your reservation.

Otherwise, in case such permission is not provided within the 24-hour period after receiving the reservation, we would have to cancel your booking.

According to Bulgarian law we are required to issue an invoice within 5 days after a transaction. If no company details have been provided and the accommodation is outside this time window, the invoice will be issued to the cardholder’s name.
Reissuing the invoice in question could take some time. This can be easily avoided if you send us the company's details in advance.

DEBIT CARDS usually cannot be charged via distant purchase, thus cannot be used to guarantee the reservation.

For this reason the use of a valid CREDIT CARD is required to guarantee the booking. You will be requested to show the credit card in question upon arrival.

We use a secure connection and SSL protocol for our online reservation form which allows you to safely submit all personal information required. Should you, however, have any doubts, do not hesitate to contact us for alternatives.

The following cards currently accepted are: Visa, MasterCard, JSB, American Express, V-pay, Yes, Donna, Transcard.

DEBIT CARDS of any kind could not be charged via distant purchase but can be used for on site payments.

Different terms for cancellation and modification apply according to the rate guaranteeing your booking.

• When picking STANDARD RATE: If you want to cancel your booking you can write to us up to 24h. before the accommodation date and the cancellation will be free and we will unblock the preauthorized amount the same day. For late cancellations, modifications or no-show the preauthorized amount (the price for the first night of the stay) will not be refunded.
• With the NON REFUNDABLE RATE the amount we have charged for the full stay will not be refunded in case of modification or cancellation.

Unfortunately, we cannot confirm reservations without valid credit card. All non guaranteed reservations are cancelled without prior notice.

It is possible to use another person’s credit card or make a bank transfer in some cases.

Contact us for further information.
