All type of accommodations presented at HolidaysHalkidiki.com may be reserved upon condition of their availability, either immediately online if the possibility is given or with the help of HolidaysHalkidiki.com, in both cases acting as an intermediary between the visitor and the accommodation provider online & offline correspondingly.
Thus, there exist two ways of booking any accommodation presented at HolidaysHalkidiki.com:
Choosing an accommodation unit, you like from all the range, previously filling in the request form with some necessary details like the dates you require, number of persons, room type to narrow the search.
Subsequently, you will be either
- redirected to the own page of concrete accommodation provider for making online reservation on spot by paying the required reservation amount,
or
- asked to send the availability request firstly and wait while we check and confirm it for you in case the property doesn’t provide online booking services.
The confirmation of availability together with the instructions for the next steps will follow from us via email.
At the moment a booking through telephone or via social networks are not possible for safety reasons, as it’s necessary to have a written trace of any agreements from both sides in case of unforeseen circumstances. Otherwise, you can always contact us directly at
Paying procedures
To ensure your reservation you are called to pay either the whole amount for your stay or to make a deposit of 20-30% of the amount to the accommodation owner, while the rest is to be paid at your arrival to the accommodation.
The most preferable way of payment is through ordinary bank remittance (in case the property does not provide on-line booking).
The commission cost is paid by the sender.
The deadline for deposit payment is two (2) business days from the day of availability confirmation from us. Due to the big volume of requests, we cannot keep any reservations without being paid for more than 48 hours.
A deposit or a full prepayment is the only way to reserve an accommodation. The payments act like a guarantee for both sides. A client gets a guaranteed accommodation, and the accommodation provider in his turn gets a cover of wasted opportunities in case of client’s non-show.
Cancellation policy varies from accommodation to accommodation, still in most cases the deposits are returned completely to client in case he/she makes the cancellation 25 or more days before the supposed arrival date. In case the cancellation takes place less than 25 days before the agreed arrival date, no refund is applicable. For more details, it’s strongly advised to scrutinize the cancellation policy section of each separate accommodation while making the reservation.
No hidden costs are involved, as a visitor is paying the official prices as obtained directly from the owner of every accommodation. HalkidkiHolidays.com charges only the cooperating accommodations for advertising and promotion services.
