General Conditions of Contract and Líbere House Rules

The following conditions regulate the reservation and the accommodation rules between the client (hereinafter “guest“) and Líbere.

1. Reservation

By making a reservation, the guest agrees to adhere to and accept every one of the conditions of this document, including our Privacy Policyand Legal Notice. The guest also agrees:

- to be of legal age and to have full capacity to make the reservation, stating that all the conditions of this document are understood.
- that the information provided at the time of the reservation is true and complete.

Reservations can be requested through the Líbere website, by contacting the staff through the contact details provided on the website, or through any other official platform where Líbere offers this possibility.
Once the reservation has been made, Líbere will send the guest an email within the following 24 hoursto confirm the booking. If there are mistakes in the reservation, the correction should be requested during the following day; otherwise, it will be considered correct for all purposes.
When making the reservation, the guest must provide the identification data and a credit or debit card number as a guarantee.

- When making the reservation with flexible rates, the amount corresponding to the first night will be blocked as a deposit to check the correct operation of the card, which will be unblocked after a few days. Líbere reserves the right to charge the total amount of the reservation in the cases foreseen in this document.
- In the case of non-refundable rates, the total amount of the stay will be charged to the credit card provided.

Visa, Mastercard, and American Express cards are accepted. If the name of the card is different from the guest’s name, and the reservation exceeds €500.00, Líbere will request a copy of the card and the ID of the cardholder. If Líbere has not received this documentation at the time of check-in, the guest will be asked to pay the total amount of the reservation with a personal credit or debit card, and the amount charged on the initial card will be returned to the cardholder.
For certain bookings, Líbere reserves the right to charge the guest an amount of €200.00 as an advanced deposit that will be returned within 30 days following check-out, and once the correct condition of the room or apartment has been verified.
Reservation requests will not be considered accepted until Líbere confirms admissionband provides a reservation reference. Afterwards, the relationship between the guest and Líbere will have been formalised.
Requests for changes of date, duration, or the number of guests, will be subject to availability. Nevertheless, Líbere will try, as far as possible, to carry them out. In such a case, the guest will have to pay a fee corresponding to the requested changes.
When booking multiple beds in a shared room, Líbere Hostels do not guarantee they will be in the same room. However, the company will make every effort to ensure they are.
In the event of unforeseen maintenance, repair, or adaptation tasks that occur before check-in and, as long as they make it objectively impossible to inhabit the room, Líbere will offer the inhabitant and they may choose between a refund of 100% of the amount paid or the relocation to an accommodation that Líbere has available, of similar or superior characteristics.

If these tasks occur during the stay, Líbere will offer the inhabitant:

a) Cases in which the incident does not objectively make the stay impossible: Líbere will carry out said tasks as soon as possible and will inform the inhabitant of the day and time on which said tasks will be carried out, and the inhabitant must leave the room or apartment free, for security reasons. If the inhabitant remains in the room or apartment or makes it impossible in any way to carry out said tasks, it will be understood that they renounce carrying them out and they will be carried out, at the discretion of Líbere, once their stay is over.
b) Cases in which the incident makes the stay objectively impossible: Relocation to another room or apartment, or another accommodation that Líbere has available, with similar or superior characteristics; and if the inhabitant does not accept the rehousing offered by Líbere, the amount of the nights that they have not been able to enjoy will be reimbursed.

Guests with special requirements associated with a disability must inform Líbere before making the reservation.
Prices and offers presented on the website include VAT(Value Added Tax) and are only valid for reservations made on the Líbere website or through the establishment’s staff. Prices are in Euros and may be subject to change without prior notice. However, after the confirmation of the reservation, the rate cannot be changed.
In some destinations, the competent authority requires the guest to pay a tourist tax, which will be collected by Líbere at the time of check-in.
Groups. All reservations of more than nine people will be considered a group. In these cases, the payment and cancellation conditions will be specific and established by our group attention team.

2. Identification

To check in, it is necessary to provide the passport, European ID card, or driving license of all guests over 14 years of age. All guests, without exception —including those under 18 years of age— must have their personal and family documentation in order, according to current legislation. The data of persons under 14 years of age will be provided by the person of legal age with whom they are accompanied. They will be responsible for obtaining visas, passports, vaccination certificates, etc., when required, for the trip. Minors, under 18 years of age, must carry written permission signed by their parents or guardians, as it may be requested by any authority. If any authority refuses to grant a visa or denies entry into the country, Líbere declines all responsibility and any expenses incurred shall be borne by the passenger, and the conditions and rules established for the case of no-show apply.

3. Check-in and check-out

The check-in and check-out procedure is online in all our Hostels, Aparthotels, and Hotels.

In Líbere Hostels, the check-in time starts at 15:00 and the check-out time is at 12:00. In Líbere Aparthotels, the check-in time is at 15:00, and check-out time is at 11:00. In both cases, other conditions may be expressly agreed between the guest and Líbere.

If the room or apartment is not vacated within the time indicated, Líbere reserves the right to charge the credit card provided an amount equivalent to the price of an additional night at the standard rate applicable, as compensation for each day of delay.

4. Cancellations and no-shows

At the time of booking, the guest can choose between Líbere rates with flexible cancellation or non-refundable rates.
If the guest does not show up at the accommodation without prior notice, the total amount of the contracted stay will be charged.
In case the guest, with a flexible cancellation policy, cancels outside the period established in the reservation, the card will be charged the cancellation fees, which will amount to the first night.
When the resident has been offered a non-refundable rate or special conditions on a non-cancellation of the reservation, the reservation may not be cancelled or modified. In this case, the resident will be obliged to pay the full amount of the reserved stay and Líbere will proceed with the fixed charge on such reservation.
All bookings are subject to availability. Líbere reserves the right to reject, cancel, or not accept a reservation for any of the following reasons:

a technical or pricing error occurred on the website when the reservation was made,
the space/s listed on the reservation are not available,

security systems indicate that the reservation is anomalous or may be fraudulent,
there are reasons indicating that the guest is a minor,
