Para las reservas realizadas a través de plataformas de terceros, prevalecerán los términos y políticas de la plataforma correspondiente.

Los huéspedes reconocen que:

No seremos responsables de ninguna pérdida indirecta o consecuente que surja de eventos de crisis, incluyendo, entre otros:

• gastos de viaje
• Alojamiento alternativo
• Pérdida de disfrute o interrupción de los planes

Nuestra responsabilidad se limita estrictamente al valor total de la reserva abonada.

6. Buena fe y uso justo

Operamos con un enfoque justo y razonable en línea con la Ley de Derechos del Consumidor de 2015 y procurar tratar a todos los huéspedes por igual.

Se espera que los huéspedes actúen con sensatez y no soliciten reembolsos cuando la estancia pueda desarrollarse de forma legal y segura.
