Terms & Conditions

Booking & payment

• Minimum stay varies from 2 to 5 nights depending on villa and month.
• Check-ins on Sundays are not allowed.
• A 25% deposit is required to secure a booking. Bookings made less than 60 days before arrival require a 100% deposit.
• Full settlement of the remaining balance is due 60 days before the date of arrival.
• Cancellations are only accepted before the 60-day mark — cancelling after this point forfeits the deposit.
• VAT at 7% is included in our prices.
• Additional charges apply when paying by PayPal, as their fees are net.

Check-in & check-out

• Check-in time is strictly from 3:00pm. Early check-in is subject to availability.
• Check-out time is strictly by 9:30am. Late check-out is subject to availability and an additional fee.

Damage deposit

Damages to the property and its contents are the sole liability of the tenant. An inventory of items and furniture is available in each villa.

A damage deposit of €500 must be left with the owner on check-in, via Revolut or bank transfer prior to arrival. This is refunded within 5 days if no damage to the property is found.

The following fines are applied from the damage deposit where they occur:

• €500 — if guests smoke inside the villa.
• €150 — if pets swim in the pool, or sun cream/tanning oils are found in the pool.
• €75 — excessive dirt (including pet hair). Villas must be left as clean as possible, with no food leftovers on dishes or cutlery.

Any broken items, including glassware and plates, are charged from the damage deposit per the inventory booklet found in the villa. Extra cleaning, including a linen change, is charged separately at the rate shown on the booking form.

House rules

• No parties, discos, or loud music — villas are located next to other properties. Breaching this means the villa must be vacated immediately, with any payments forfeited.
• The maximum number of guests booked may not be exceeded unless approved by the owner in advance.
• Smoking is prohibited indoors and permitted only outside, in the pool and terrace areas.
• Sun cream and tanning oils must be removed before using the pool. Pets are not allowed in the pool.
• Garbage must be taken outside per the daily schedule found in the villa.
• Roof terraces are not accessible, for health and safety reasons.
• Drones are not permitted, to protect the privacy of guests in neighbouring villas.
• WiFi is free at every villa.
• Air conditioning (cooling & heating) at Villa Watersedge can be added for €20/night. At all other villas, A/C runs on a pay-per-use machine, with €10 given free per day.
• Villas are pet-friendly (maximum one pet per villa) — a €75 pet fee applies.

Eco-tax

An eco-tax of €1.50 per adult (18+) per night is collected separately, as required by Maltese law.
