Irene B&B – The Nitty-Gritty

How many bodies in how many beds?

Your name and pedigree.

No pay, no stay!

Can’t make it – sorry, let’s make a plan.

Reservations are accepted on a ‘per person’ basis and not a unit basis. Rates are therefore subject to the number of people that occupy a unit. Irene B&B can accommodate a maximum of 8 guests. The names and relationship to the guest of the persons sharing the unit must be provided when the reservation is made.
Reservations are not confirmed until the name, surname, number of persons sharing each unit, cellphone numbers, payment method and expected time of arrival of each guest is provided.
Accommodation is payable in advance, or on arrival if agreed in writing.
A deposit of 50% is required to confirm all bookings.
A cancellation fee of 50% is payable should a confirmed booking be cancelled with less than 14 days notice. The maximum refund value under any circumstances is 80% of the charge. Refunds will only be made after payment has been finally cleared by the bank. This process can take in excess of 30 days.
The full cost of the accommodation is payable should a guest fail to arrive or cancel or end the reservation with less than 24 hours notice.
Discounted rates will be revised should the duration of stay be decreased or interrupted or payment terms not be adhered to.
Cash or Internet transfers are valid payment methods.
Rates are subject to change without notice

Before 2pm your room will not be ready; after 8pm we’re in bed already to be up at 6:30am and at your service until 10am

Don’t let a stranger eat your porridge

Only guests who have booked are allowed on the premises. Guests are to inform us of any visitors (deliveries, pick-ups, family members, etc) before they arrive.
No visitors may use the facilities, sleep or shower (day or night) unless with prior arrangement and payment.

You need space to park

We accept no responsibility for any loss or damage to vehicles or goods left in vehicles.

Watch your stuff

Although Irene B&B takes reasonable steps to ensure the safety and security of guests and their possessions guests retain final responsibility for their own safety and security. Keep your room locked at all times.
The B&B does not provide storage facilities for personal belongings and vehicles.

Let’s spoil you a little bit…

Linen and towels are changed every fourth day if a guest is staying for longer than five days. If a guest should require clean linen or towels in between changes he/she may ask the household staff or leave a note in the room for it to be replaced.

Don’t!

Guests are to be considerate regarding neighbours and other guests, especially when arriving or leaving.
Please check your noise levels when you’re using the TV and cellphone and the outdoor area.
