Owners of Homelands Guest House are dedicated to the protection of our planet resources and would encourage our guests to help by:
Homelands Guest House is a small business, so cancellations can have a big impact on it, especially if potential guests have been turned away in favour of someone who has already booked and who then cancels.
Homelands Guest House however does appreciate that unforeseen circumstances can intervene, so the management tries to be as sympathetic and helpful as possible in such cases. In the event of a cancellation up to 2 days, prior to the scheduled date of arrival, no charge will be applied. If you cancel your reservation within 2 days of the scheduled date of arrival, a cancellation charge equivalent to the room (s) single night rate will be applied. Guests failing to arrive (without notification), may be responsible to a charge equivalent to the total reservation price.
Dear Guest, this is a private house, therefore Glenda and Daniele ask you to be kind and respectful. Thank you.
