1. Definitions

“Accommodation” is the place where you are staying.

“Services” means: Promotion and offer to the general public of the accommodation; management of the bookings for the accommodation; management of contacts with the Client; welcome and check-in to the accommodation, on the conditions below; care of the accommodation throughout a Client’s stay; payment collection on behalf of the Owner; a Client’s check-out, on the conditions below. Our service fee is included in the accommodation fees that we accept for the Owner, who pays us such according to a percentage of the applicable accommodation fees.

“Accommodation fees” means the amounts that are due and payable by a Client in exchange for the relevant stay in the accommodation, except as provided in 6.2 and 6.3. The Owner may at his or her discretion decide to include in these amounts a cleaning fee and/or the tourist accommodation tax that he or she has to collect and remit to the Roma Capitale authority.

N.B.: We may round up or down amounts that are payable from the Client to the nearest whole functional base unit in which the currency is denominated, i.e. to the nearest euro.

2. How the Services work

2.1 The Services are purchased as soon as we send the relevant booking confirmation to the Client from e-mail address [email protected] together with the voucher summary sheet.

2.2 Through the Site – i.e. www.fromhometorome.com – the Client may view the prospective availability of the accommodation with its relevant fees, then send out a booking request through the dedicated electronic form.

2.3 The booking request is either accepted or rejected by the Owner within the following 24-48 hours.

2.4 If the Owner accepts the booking request, we ask the Client for a wire transfer or PayPal (the processor’s additional charges are the responsibility of the Client) in order to make a down payment on the applicable accommodation fees. The booking confirmation is dependent on the down payment that the Client must remit within 48 hours of our giving notice of that requirement via [email protected]

2.5 If the Owner does not accept the booking request or the Client does not make the down payment within the period of time above, the relevant booking request will be automatically cancelled.

2.6 The Client must pay what remains due on the accommodation fees in accordance with the payment mode stated in the voucher summary sheet. After the balance is paid, the Client’s obligation to pay the Owner will be satisfied and we will owe the Owner the accommodation fees (less our service fee and applicable taxes).

3. Check-in

3.1 The Client is welcome to check in between 14:00 hours (2pm) and 22:30 hours (10:30pm). This includes arrivals any day of the week. The check-in may take place before or after these times upon appointment, depending on the actual availability of the accommodation. In any case, the Client ought to email the contact address stated in the voucher summary sheet about the time of arrival at least 24 hours prior. Information about possible changes should be sent to the same e-mail address as soon as the Client is aware of them, otherwise we cannot ensure the Client’s checking into the accommodation at the desired time.

3.2 In order to make sure the accommodation is actually available, we reserve the right to charge the Client an additional fee, which is equal to 50% of the prior overnight fee, when the check-in takes place before 14:00 hours (before 2pm, early check-in). After 22:30 hours (after 10:30pm, late check-in) the applicable additional fee is €50.

3.3 Upon check-in the Client must show his or her I.D. card, so as to give the Public Security Authority the notice required; including on the same notice the names and birth dates of other actual and possible occupants of the accommodation beside the Client is also required.

3.4 The Client must pay the accommodation fees in accordance with the voucher summary sheet, otherwise we reserve the right to postpone the check-in until the Client has paid accordingly.

3.5 The number of occupants must match the confirmed booking and the information on the voucher summary sheet. The Client must pay the applicable accommodation fees, which are calculated automatically through the Site, based on the actual number of people at check-in, if that number exceeds the one in the voucher summary sheet.

3.6 The Client must pay a security deposit on check-in in accordance with the amount stated in the voucher summary sheet, which the Client will be returned on check-out if none of the problems outlined in 5.3 and 5.4 occurs.
