Terms & Conditions of Trade

Reservations / Confirmations

All accommodation reservations must be confirmed at the time of booking by either providing a valid credit card guarantee, deposit or full pre-payment. By issuing the credit card details the booker is giving the Riviera Guesthouse permission to take payment from the card if a reservation is cancelled or if an account is left unpaid, according to the agreed terms of the booking.
Riviera Guesthouse does not hold provisional bookings.

Once a reservation has been confirmed, where possible Riviera Guesthouse will confirm the reservation back in writing via email, unless otherwise agreed by another suitable method (e.g. letter, SMS). If a ‘put up’ bed, ‘Z’ bed, cot or other similar facility is required then an additional charge will be levied per the current published tariff.

Bedroom Rates
All rates quoted at time of booking are subject to availability, seasons & time of year. The Riviera Guesthouse has the right to change and/or amend rates as we see fit. Rates will be subject to annual increase and local events.
Check In
Check in is from 2pm on the day of arrival and full payment for your stay will be required at check in. With regard to group bookings it is the responsibility of the booker to inform all of their guests of the check in and check-out time. Other check in times can be made by prior arrangement and have this confirmed by the Riviera Guesthouse back in writing via letter, SMS or email or other suitable method.
Check out
We ask that guests vacate their room by 10am on the day of departure; you may extend your departure time at a rate of £9 per whole hour until 6pm, subject to availability on the morning of departure. The management reserve the right to offer promotional rates on this charge from time to time.
Booking Extras
Booking extras can be added to your booking at any point from booking through to check-in. We can provide Flowers (price depends on preference and size), Helium Balloons at £6 and Chocolates at £5 etc. We can also provide other booking extras of your choice e.g. celebration banners, cards. We will always do our utmost to source the item you require. The cost of these items will be confirmed with you prior to your arrival.
Foreign Currency
Riviera Guesthouse does not accept or exchange any foreign currency.
Cash Back
Riviera Guesthouse does not offer a cash back facility with any credit or debit cards.
Cancellation by Guest

Unless otherwise stated in writing via letter, SMS or email or other suitable method at time of booking a default cancellation policy is in force; this being: bookings cancelled more than 1 week before 7pm on the day of check-in will incur a charge of £5, bookings cancelled less that 1 week before 7pm on the day of check-in will incur a charge of the first night’s stay, bookings cancelled less that 3 days before 7pm on the day of check-in will incur a charge of 100% of the booking total.

A no-show booking will be classed as a cancelled booking less than 3 days therefore will incur a charge of 100% of the booking total. The same applies for guests leaving early, 100% of the booking total must be settled prior to departure.

Therefore it is important that you ask/read at the time of booking the deposit/cancellation rules, which on most occasions will be communicated via a confirmation email or, if agreed at the time of booking, another suitable method.

Cancellation Insurance

We highly recommend a holiday cancellation insurance policy which covers cancellation through illness, accidents, bad weather etc.
Often you will find that you can reclaim the cancellation fee through your travel insurance, home insurance or Credit Card Company. 

We always recommend that you have travel insurance, even when travelling within the UK as it can cover you for accidents and injury and subsequent loss of earnings where other insurances you have often do not!

Cancellation by the Riviera Guesthouse
The Riviera Guesthouse shall have the right at any time (giving such notice as possible to the guest) to cancel the accommodation without recourse or liability to the guest for any loss, damage or changes caused by circumstances outside its control including, without limitation, an “Act of God”, war or the threat of war, riot, civil strike, industrial dispute, terrorist activity, natural or nuclear disasters, extreme weather conditions or other event or circumstances which were unusual and unforeseeable and the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all due care had been exercised.
Lost & Found

Rooms will be checked upon departure for any articles left behind and will be held by the Guesthouse for a period of time. 

Lost and found items will only be returned upon your request and postage and packaging must be prepaid at a set rate of £8.00.
If your item is of high value, we recommend Special Delivery which depending on the weight of your item, may exceed £8.00. This would need to be prepaid prior to postage.

Lost Keys

For future guest’s security, when a key is lost, the lock will need to be replaced. Therefore lost keys will be charged at £45. This is to cover the new lock (compatible with our mastery system), key and specialised ‘Riviera’ fob. This sum also covers the labour to fit the new mechanism. 

If this amount is not settled upon check out, you authorise us to charge the credit/debit card used at booking. Alternatively, an invoice for the amount will be issued and if this is not paid within 3 days of departure, the Guesthouse reserves the right to subsequently inform the relevant authorities who may act as they feel fit if it is suspected that a breach of legislation has occurred e.g. damage/theft of property, making off without payment.
