FAQ

Lenght of stays

A minimum of duration of 7-night stays are organised during the summer and winter seasons. Shorter stays are organised only as last minute stays (ordered two weeks prior to the stay).
Shorter stays are available in the off-season periods. Some facilities offer weekend stays. The facilities providing such stays have a special price and number of paid nights specified as minimum in their description.
We have special prices for New Year stays. At that time of year, it is necessary to fulfil the capacity of the respective accommodation facility for 7 nights as a minimum (cottages, flats and family boarding houses). We will inform you about New Year prices for individual accommodation facilities in our office. The 50-100% increase of price is to be expected in comparison to winter-season prices.

Stay with a dog

Please inform us in advance if you plan to take your dog with you. Some accommodation facilities take a charge for a dog, and others will accommodate them free of charge.

Maps and information of attractions in the surrounding areas of accommodations

Beside information about accommodation Limba tries to provide maps of the location and information about nearby attractions as well. Unfortunately it is not always possible to keep this information up-to-date. Therefore we warn our clients to consider this information as temporary, and in case of serious interest to double-check it with Limba. Dated or inaccurate information cannot be the subject of a complaint.
up

Reservations

You can reserve accommodations through the internet reservation form or by phone. Contact us, while specifying
  • the exact date of your stay,
  • the exact number of persons,
  • a list of preferred accommodation facilities in order of your preference.

Confirmation of reservation - advance payment

Advance payment is paid after the confirmation of your reservation. The amount of the advance payment is different for each accommodation - you can find the information about the amount of the advance payment at the bottom part of the price list for the given accommodation facility.
Advance payment should be paid within two working days. Be aware that the payment sent by ordinary mail or bank transfer will not arrive in two-days time, even if made in time. To avoid cancellation of your reservation, please send your payment voucher to us by fax - it is the only way that we can assure that your payment was sent and reservation is relevant (if fax is not available via home, work or a friend, post offices have fax service). Put your name or order number within the fax message to help us to identify your payment.
Once the payment voucher is received, we will issue and send your Travel Voucher containing all information necessary for your stay.
If the advance payment does not cover the total price for the stay, the remaining sum will be paid at the start of stay to the landlord.

Cancellation of a stay

In exceptional cases, Limba® can cancel a paid stay (e.g. illness or another serious reason). Thanks to the system of cancellation fees specified in detail in your Travel Voucher, we can pay you back a portion of the advance payment. The return of an advance payment depends on the date of cancellation:
  • More than 60 days prior to the start of stay: cancellation fee is 25% from the total price.
  • More than 30 days prior to the start of stay, but maximum of 60 days: cancellation fee is 40% from the total price.
  • More than 10 days prior to the start of stay, but maximum of 60 days: cancellation fee is 50% from the total price.
  • 10 days or less prior to the start of stay: cancellation fee is 65% from the total price.
If interested, we can provide insurance in the case of cancellation of your stay due to health reasons. (Warning! Taking out insurance is possible only at the time of making the advance payment, therefore please inquire in advance!)
Cancellation of stay must be agreed by our manager! Please call us as well as sending a written cancellation (by e-mail) - state your name, address, number of your Travel Voucher, starting date of your stay, date of cancellation made by phone and name of manager who has accepted your cancellation in your cancellation request. Then, we will issue a cancellation confirmation and send it to you together with the advance payment you are entitled for.

Change in number of people to be accommodated

Your Travel Voucher is issued for an exact number of persons. The number of persons stated in the Travel Voucher cannot be exceeded without mutual agreement, even if some cottages, flats and family boarding houses have flexible capacity. However, it is not possible to exceed the overall capacity of an accommodation facility. If the overall capacity or capacity stated in the Travel Voucher is exceeded without our approval or approval of the owner, the landlord is entitled to refuse accommodation. It is not permitted to exceed the number of accommodated persons during your stay without prior approval of respective entities.
up

Start of a stay

The stay check-in begins after 2:00PM, check-out ends at 10:00AM. Call your landlord several days before and agree on your check-in hour (does not apply to bungalows, boarding houses and hotels!). If you stay in a cottage, agree on a meeting place as well with your landlord to avoid possible misunderstandings.
up

Problems during the stay

If any problem appears at the check-in or during your stay, please contact us immediately - the majority of such problems can be resolved by discussion with the owner, therefore Limba® operates a 24-hour line. If the owner did not provide services corresponding to our information, you are entitled to claim reimbursement. To start a complaint procedure, call us immediately after the detection of any problems.
up

Damages

The customer is obliged to hand over the accommodation facility free of any damages. The landlord (in particular owners of huts, cottages, or family boarding houses) has right to require a deposit for the case of damage that will be returned to you at the end of your stay if equipment remains undamaged. You will be informed about the amount of deposit before start of your stay.
up

Satisfaction of our customers

The satisfaction of our customers is our commitment, and therefore we employ a strict quality control system in our work. We contact our customers both by e-mail and telephone after their stay for feedback. We are happy to receive any opinions and comments, as they are the greatest resource of information necessary for improvement of our services.
up

Claims procedure

  • In the case that the range and quality of the provided services does not correspond with the information indicated on the website www.limba.com, the customer maintains the right to eliminate any wrongly provided services. The customer is obliged to file his/her claim immediately by calling the 24-hour line of Limba travel agency (the phone number is indicated in the Travel Voucher).
  • If the travel agency does not provide proper correction of the reclaimed services on time, the customer can file his/her claim upon their return (in writing) 3 months after the end of the stay (at the latest), or if the services have not been used at all, from the day the stay was supposed to end according to the contract.
  • The travel agency is exempt from responsibility of damage caused by the breach of its duty at providing services or breaching of the contract, if the damage was not caused by the travel agency or its contract partners, and the damage was caused by the customer or a third party not connected with providing services, or with an event which could not have been avoided despite adequate preparation, or as a consequence of unusual and unforeseen circumstances.
  • When solving a complaint, the customer is obliged to fully collaborate with the travel agency in order to solve any problem(s) effectively and to avoid any damages.
