Terms & Conditions

a) We require that you present a valid photo identification upon check in, this can be a passport, national identity card or photo driving license. Student cards are not accepted as valid ID.

b) Check-out. Departing guests must remove all their belongings from their room and other areas of the property and check out by 11am local time. After this time guests may make use of the luggage storage facilities but all possessions must be removed from the room/dorm and the room key card handed back to reception. Late check-outs will incur a charge of the equivalent amount of the previous night paid for accommodation by the guest.

c) Upon check-in each guest will receive a room key card for access to their room. These key cards are activated for the period of stay only and must be handed back to reception on check out. Failure to return the key card will result in a charge of £5.00 per card (or the equivalent in the local currency of the hostel or hotel). If the hotel operates a key & lock system, a charge of £50.00 (or the equivalent in the local currency of the hostel or hotel) will apply if a ‘normal key’ has been lost.

d) Safestay hostels & hotels is providing accommodation for tourist and back-packers, to allow individual visitors and groups to explore new destinations, cities and meet fellow explorers.

Safestay operates a 10-night maximum stay policy. Bookings will not be accepted for more than 10 continuous nights, regardless if the 10-nights are booked with a single or multiple reservations. The check-out date will be changed without notification to reflect this policy, if a booking is made for more than 10 nights. Stays longer than 10 nights will be at the discretion of Management and must be agreed by e-mail before making a reservation. Verbal confirmations from any Safestay team member will not be made or consequently accepted.

Following a check-out, a return to the same Safestay hostel or a Safestay hostel in the same city or town is not permitted for a minimum of 10-days.

The Management has the right to refuse a check in should a guest make a reservation contrary to this rule. Equally, the Management reserves the right to make exceptions to this rule subject to business levels.

e) Reservations booked in advance do not constitute a legally binding contract until the hostel confirms the reservation with the customer and provides the customer with a booking reference.

f) Subletting or selling a booking to another guest is not permitted unless agreed by the management prior making a reservation and arrival.

a) Age restriction. Customers under the age of 18 are only permitted to stay in private rooms or shared rooms that are booked for the sole use of one family or a group of persons booked together and must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, teacher or tour-group leader over the age of 18. Any person between the age below 18 years must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, teacher or tour-group leader (over 18) staying in the same room or dormitory.

b) Although we will allocate a bed or room according to the booked category, your reservation does not entitle you to a specific bed, room or location of the bed/room. At Safestay we take great care to allocate beds in a way we think will be best for each booking. There may be occasions when it is not possible to allocate all guests from a booking in the same room. Splitting a booking into different rooms/dorms will not create a reason for a refund or reduction of the price booked. Please contact the relevant hostel reception by email (in writing) with the booking reference and we will be able to inform you if this is the case.

c) Request for specific rooms, dorms, beds, bottom or upper bunk or any other specifics are taken into account. Whilst we try our best, the hostel cannot guarantee any such room or bed allocation. Allocation of beds within the booked category of rooms is at the hostel’s discretion. Not fulfilling such a request does not create a basis for a price reduction or refund.

b) Non-refundable bookings will be charged in full at booking stage or within 48hrs thereafter, but always prior to arrival. By booking a non-refundable rate, you agree to waive the right for a refund or alteration of your booking for any reason. For the avoidance of doubt; no refund will be given and no alteration of your booking will be granted for cancellations for whatever reason. This includes but is not restricted to: no-show due to travel delays, no-show or cancellations due to medical reasons or emergencies or any other reasons which may prevent you from staying or you may regard as preventing you from using the booked accommodation and/or other services. We strongly suggest taking out a travel insurance for such circumstances.
