OFFER CONTENT AND GENERAL TERMS

Sperone Heritage Hotel, herein after referred to as the Hotel, promotes and sells hotel services based on published information, descriptions, terms, and the applicable price list, in accordance with confirmed reservations/signed contracts, on its own behalf and for its own account. As the service purchaser for the end-user, an agency or tour operator may appear, and the provisions of the general terms also apply to them as intermediaries. By sending a reservation inquiry, you confirm that you agree with the Hotel’s General Terms and it becomes a legal obligation. During the provision of services, the hotel applies the rules stipulated by the house rules, and hotel and hospitality customs, in accordance with the current positive legal regulations of the Republic of Croatia.

ACCOMMODATION RESERVATIONS AND PAYMENT METHODS

After submitting an initial inquiry for accommodation, you are considered a prospective user of accommodation services. All records are kept under the name of the first named person (if an individual, then the first and last name; if a legal entity, then the company name), and the same is considered the Reservation Holder.

The Reservation Holder (if an individual) must be over 18 years old and authorized by other named individuals to make the reservation on behalf of all persons listed in the inquiry. By completing and submitting the reservation request, the Reservation Holder confirms that he/she is authorized to make the reservation on behalf of all that others agree to it and that they are also bound by the reservation terms. During the reservation, the Reservation Holder is required to provide all the information requested by the reservation process.

An inquiry for accommodation is considered an open inquiry forwarded to the hotel by any means of written communication (website, letter, email, etc.).

Based on the open inquiry, the hotel will make a pre-reservation and will provide the Reservation Holder with the cost of the reserved service and the terms of the transaction in writing. The Reservation Holder is responsible for fulfilling all the terms of the transaction stated in the pre-reservation, primarily concerning the payment of a deposit to settle the costs of the reserved services.

A reservation for the corresponding period is valid (comes into effect) only after written confirmation from the hotel and receipt of the deposit specified in the specific offer, along with the hotel’s reservation confirmation. Confirmation of reservations prepared in this manner is considered provisional until the deposit is due unless otherwise indicated in the offer. If a copy of the deposit payment is not provided to the hotel within the specified time frame, the offer is automatically considered expired.

The Reservation Holder is responsible for all payments (deposit and the remaining balance). The remaining balance (the difference between the deposited amount and the total cost of reserved services) must be settled at check in.

Payment at the hotel reception can be made in a single instalment with credit cards (Mastercard, Visa), debit cards (Maestro), and cash (EUR).

By fulfilling the conditions stated in the pre-reservation, you accept the General Terms of the hotel, and this constitutes a formal legal conclusion of the contract.

In a formal legal sense, the responsibility always lies with the Reservation Holder, and they cannot transfer their responsibility to the persons for whom the reservation was made.

Reservations are not accepted from individuals under the age of 18.

In such cases, we reserve the right to reject reservation requests without providing any reasons. The hotel reserves the right to refuse, cancel, or modify reservations if there is an abuse of the reservation system or if an error has been made by the user.

Notes related to the reservation process:

  • Please note that Sperone Heritage Hotel is adult-only hotel.
  • If you wish to change or cancel a made reservation, modifications can be made in accordance with the Cancellation Terms.
  • The hotel reserves the right to refuse, cancel, or modify a reservation if there is an abuse of the reservation system or if the reservation is made due to an obvious user error.
