Our Booking Terms

We do not have facilities for children or infants and cannot accept a booking for them.

The balance of the accommodation fee is due 4 weeks before the start of your holiday, to be paid directly into our bank account or by other means as agreed by email.

We do not refund deposits or payments (except the Security Deposit) if you cancel your booking unless we can replace your booking with another guest. Please ensure that you have travel insurance to cover all types of holiday cancellation.

Whilst we are very easy going people and we cannot imagine any situation where it may be necessary, we reserve the right to request any client or guest to leave the accommodation.

In the event of failure of any service, we will do our best to make repairs or provide an alternative but please remember that as this is rural Spain, some problems may take a little longer to resolve than elsewhere

Security Deposit

This must be paid before your arrival.

We have never retained the deposit since we started letting Al-Queria in 2009 and we do not charge for fair wear and tear or minor breakages.

However. in the event of major damage, missing items and the like, we will deduct the replacement or repair cost.

We present Al-Queria cottage to you in a clean and tidy condition and after you leave, we include within your holiday cost, a standard clean ready for the next guests.

However, in the event that excessive or special cleaning is needed after you leave, we will deduct the costs and extra time that we incur, from the deposit.

We ask you to let us know about any breakage or damage as it occurs so that we can deal with the problem and ensure your continued use of the full facilities that we offer.

We will refund the deposit to your bank account as soon as we have completed the final clean and preparation and will ask for your bank details to facilitate this, when you are here.

Things you should know

Al-Queria is a "no children zone" and is for an adult couple to enjoy the peace and quiet....

The house is surrounded by rural land so farmers occasionally use tractors and machinery to tend their crops, keep chickens and other animals. All just part of the rural charm.....

You may arrive at any time but we usually need until 4:00pm to get everything ready for you. On the day of departure, please aim to leave by 10:00am.

We have some friendly, obedient (and quiet !) pets

Our pool is not overlooked by the house and is for your exclusive use.

Accommodation

After 7 days we will clean Al-Queria and change the bedding, linen, etc.. We change bathroom towels mid-week. We will do additional cleaning at your request for a small charge.

All of the windows are fitted with netting to minimise mosquitoes, midges and other flying beasts.

Al-Queria cottage is strictly no smoking inside but you are welcome to smoke outside on the terraces or in the garden.

Our water is from municipal mains supply via filters and storage tanks to maintain availability. The electric supply is by public mains with a battery back-up system and is usually reliable.

Al-Queria cottage has floors at various levels and stairs which are steeper than usual. Outside, the patios are at various levels and the pool is accessed via steps.

Our accommodation is not suitable for wheelchair users.

Please let us know if you feel that any disability may affect your enjoyment or safety here as we would be delighted to advise you.

Health & emergencies

There is a first aid box (botequin) in the bathroom.

Pharmacies in Spain provide a high level of medical advice as well as supplying a wide range of drugs and treatments but you should bring any continuing or prescription medication with you.

There is a medical centre in Algarinejo, 15 minutes drive from Al-Queria.Serious emergencies are dealt with by referral to the relevant hospital in Granada city which is an hour away.

Al-Queria is some distance from immediate emergency treatment. We recommend that you arrange comprehensive travel insurance to provide cover for medical expenses, loss of possessions and for cancellation of your plans. This should include an international emergency telephone number with multi-lingual operators to ensure that you get any help immediately.

In the event of an emergency, we will try to assist you as much as we can but our Spanish language is somewhat limited so even we may struggle to get immediate action from the emergency services.

Remember to bring a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) for each member of your party
