The fees can vary significantly depending on the type of card used for the transaction. Although this cost is an unavoidable aspect of providing a secure, reliable, and flexible payment system, we understand that it can be a point of concern for our guests. We value transparency in all our dealings and are more than willing to discuss the details of this policy with any tenant who wishes to learn more about it.

Regarding the internet service at the rental property, despite our best efforts, we are reliant on the Internet service provider and cannot guarantee a consistent connection. Therefore, we regret to inform you that any requests for refunds related to internet connectivity will not be entertained.
