reservation and will not be altered after confirmation of the booking has been received.

Property Rental Terms & Conditions

All properties are well equipped and include bed linen and bath towels. All properties are privately owned, decorated and furnished to owners’ individual taste. 

Maximum occupancy is 2 persons per bedroom. One infant in a cot is permitted per bedroom. HHV reserves the right to decline access to the property for tenants that exceed the maximum occupancy of the property, with additional financial penalties of up to 2 times the daily rate of the period booked.

No parties or events are allowed at any property, nor is it permitted for any outside visitors to enter the property, other than guests stated on reservation WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A WRITTEN APPROVAL FROM HHV. Should this occur, HHV reserves the right to decline the access to outside visitors and apply a penalty of €2000,00 or above, depending on the property category.

Every effort will be made to meet any special requests of the guest. Special requests are treated as an indication of preference and cannot be guaranteed. Any special requests must be stated at the time of the booking.

Housekeeping

All properties are cleaned and inspected prior to arrival.

In the accommodation rate it is included one mid-stay clean per seven-night stay where towels and linen are changed.

A departure clean is included and based on the understanding that the property will be left tidy at the time of check-out and with all personal waste removed from the property by the guests.

In the event that this policy is not followed, additional charges may apply ranging from €50 to €350 based on the type of property and the level of cleaning needed.

Our housekeeping team is at hand to provide extra cleaning services at an extra charge during the guest’s stay, if necessary.

Swimming Pool Terms

Properties with private swimming pools are for the private use of the occupants of the property and only. Communal pools are only for the use of the occupants of the properties. Health and safety regulations are applicable at all outdoor facilities including swimming pools. Please read all poolside signage featuring standard Rules & Regulations on use of pool facilities.

Energy Consumption Rules & Regulations

A Kw/h reading will be made upon your arrival and departure and details will be available within your property. 

The maximum limit of consumption per week is as follows: 

1-bedroom properties: 300Kw/h, 2-bedroom properties: 400Kw/h, 3-bedroom properties: 500Kw/h, 4-bedroom properties: 600Kw/h, 5-bedroom properties: 700Kw/h. 

Each unit used above this limit will be charged at €0.35 cents. In the event of excess usage, the guest consents to his/her card being charged for the appropriate amount. With considerate usage, it is rare to exceed the electricity allowance, however the limitations are in place to ensure that our guests are conscious of their usage and consider the environmental impact of excessive electricity consumption.

Property Damages

All properties are privately owned and for security reasons the approved credit card number given on check-in will be charged in case of any damages. The allocated property is inspected prior to arrival, if any items checked are not in order the guest should report this to Guest Services (Reception) within 24 hours of arrival. Customers are not permitted to move or remove any furniture or equipment without prior written consent from HHV. Under no circumstances must any furniture for use inside the property be moved outside. The property will be re-inspected for any damage on the departure day of the guest.

HHV reserves the right to ask for a refundable amount against damages ranging from €400 to €1000 based on the type of property, upon check-in. The guest agrees that the credit card given upon check-in will be charged in case of any damages incurred. If not then this amount will be released 5 working days after the departure of the guest, providing no damages were reported by the inspection team.

It is the guest’s responsibility to ensure that he/she and the members of his/her party do not behave in a way that may cause offense or danger to other on-Resort guests or owners, or which risks damage to the property. If bad behavior is reported, HHV has the right to terminate any arrangements made, without any compensation and without reimbursement of any expenses that may incur as a result. Furthermore, the guest will be liable to reimburse HHV for any damage or disruption caused.

Child Responsibility

Children are naturally curious, especially when on holiday where there are lots of areas and things to be explored. Please ensure that children are not left unsupervised at any time during your holiday and take extra care with balconies and swimming pools etc. Parents are responsible for the actions of their children at all times. Please take extra care with children if your pool is described as an ‘infinity pool’, as this pool will have an open drop from the pool edge. If you require any child safety equipment (e.g. pool fencing, stair gates etc.) please consult our team prior to your arrival as everything is subject to our availability. 

Disability Access

HHV does not provide properties which are specifically designed for disabled access or use. Properties may be suggested for such use; however, no alterations can be made to the properties and HHV cannot be held liable for any injuries, inconvenience or damage as a result.

Travel Insurance

Please ensure you have covered your party with travel insurance as neither HHV nor the property owners will be held responsible in any way for injury and death that may result while renting or using any of the properties offered by HHV.

Natural Disaster Responsibility

HHV is a Rental company. Even though we use all resources at our disposal to ensure information provided and the quality and facilities of the properties, we cannot accept any liability whatsoever for any problems that occur while guests occupy the villa of their choice. We accept responsibility to provide the accommodation as described on our website but shall not be liable in circumstances where we are prevented from providing the accommodation because of events outside our control, such as flood, fire, adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, war, threat of war, civil disturbance or acts of any local or national government.

Unattended / Lost / Damaged Items

Please ensure all personal possessions are packed when departing your accommodation. Whilst we will endeavor to assist when items are left, unfortunately we are unable to guarantee the return of any items which have been left unattended and will not be liable for any items lost or damaged in transit. Postage, packaging and handling fees may be applied for the return of lost property. Please avoid leaving valuables or cash prominently displayed within your property and always ensure that all windows and doors are locked prior to leaving the property.

Pest Control

Mosquitoes, ants and other insects are endemic in warmer climates, particularly in countryside areas. Preventative pest control is carried out throughout the Resort at frequent intervals. Should any incident occur, we recommend that you contact our team.

Construction / Building Disruption

It is the case that some resort areas are still being developed and therefore there is a possibility of building work or construction work. Work may begin on a neighboring property over which we have no control, nor are we given prior notice. No compensation of any nature will be due to the guests, and HHV will not be liable.

Water / Electricity Shortages

Though it is a rare occurrence, properties can be affected by water or electricity shortages and supplies can be cut off without notice for varying periods of time. In addition, you may find that the electricity may trip if too many appliances are used at the same time. These resources are provided by the municipality and Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC) and so these infrequent situations are out of the Management's Control. Whereas we will make every attempt to ensure that these infrequent issues do not cause inconvenience and discomfort to our guests. HHV bears no liability for such instances and therefore no compensation either monetary or otherwise will be offered, however if deemed necessary, alternative accommodation will be provided. Although all properties offer Wi-Fi connection, we cannot be held responsible for any temporary failure of this facility.

Property Photographs are for Indicative Purposes

Photographs are intended to give an overall impression of individual properties. The Management does not accept any responsibility for items of furniture etc, which appear in photographs that may have been changed or removed, nor for any changes to aspects which may have changed since photographs were taken.

Property Rental Discounts / Offers

From time-to-time various non combinable discounts will be offered on properties in our portfolio. The cost payable by you is the advertised price of the property while making the reservation.

Personal Data Protection

HHV takes the privacy of your Personal Data seriously. We collect and process your Personal Data as described in the reverse Privacy Notice and with your consent, if necessary, for the purpose of informing you about news, events, activities, new services and products offered by us or advertising campaigns and/or promotional activities, in accordance with the applicable data protection laws.
