Terms and Conditions

Bookings

Eden Villas is a booking agent for private villa accommodation in Sri Lanka. Bookings made by email and or telephone will remain firm provided we receive the amount due within 48 hours.

2. For villa bookings if your holiday starts within 28 days of the date you make the booking you are required to pay the total price of the holiday on returning the pre arrival booking form. We will provide you with the relevant details.

3. Prices quoted on this web site are those given to us by the owners and may be subject to change without prior notice. However once a deposit has been received and the booking confirmed prices will not change.

4. For all bookings if your holiday starts more than 28 days after the date you make the booking you are required to pay a deposit of 50% of the total rent due for the period booked at the time of confirming the booking.

5. Bookings will not normally be accepted for periods of less than 14 nights over Christmas and New Year, 5 nights during high season and 2 nights for the rest of the year but we suggest you check with us first as sometimes arrangements can be made.

6. For all bookings once we receive the deposit we will provide you with a booking voucher with the full villa details giving confirmed dates and full details of the booking.

7. Because of the personal nature of the accommodation with which you are being provided we will not accept a villa booking where the number in your party exceeds the number on the page of the chosen villa on this site nor will any booking deemed to have been accepted until the deposit has been received. The villa owner manager reserves the right to refuse entry to your party if either one of these situations arise and you will forfeit the payment.

Payment

8. All payments must be received in US Dollars. We will accept other currencies provided you have previously agreed an applicable rate of exchange with us at the time your payment is made.

9. Monies received must be for at least the rental amount quoted in the invoice. Payment can be via Credit Card or Bank transfer and all bank charges must be in addition to the rental sum and for you to bear.

10. For a villa booking a security deposit equal to one day's rent will be payable on your arrival by way of cash. The deposit will be used as security for any damages and or charges incurred by you during your stay. This amount less any chargeable items will be returned to you upon departure.

11. For all booking secured more than 28 days in advance a deposit is required and full payment must be received one month in advance. If it is not the villa owner manager reserves the right to assume you are no longer coming and will look to relet the villa. In all cases the cancellation policy will apply.

Cancellation

12.  For cancellations more than 60 days before the arrival date 80% of the deposit amount, minus a USD 150 administration fee, will be refunded.

13.  For cancellations and/or amendments 30 – 60 days before the arrival date, 50% of the deposit amount, minus USD 150 in administration fees, will be refunded.

14.  For cancellations 1 – 29 days before the arrival date and for no-shows a refund will only be made in the event that we or the owner can relet the villa for the same terms.

15.  During peak periods, 30 days will be added to all cancellation periods.

16.  Any amendments that reduce the total rental amount will be treated as a partial cancellation and may be subject to the cancellation fees stated above.

17.  Any amendments that involve the booking of another property altogether, will be treated as a cancellation of the original booking and the creation of a new one.

18.  In the unlikely event a villa booking is cancelled by the owner or by Eden Villas, Eden Villas will attempt to secure a booking in an alternative property of the same standard, at the same rates. If this is not possible, a full refund will be made. 

Holiday Letting
