6. Booking Price and Payment Method

The prices of services offered by ALBENA are in Bulgarian leva and comprise VAT. The tourist tax due shall be collected later by the hotel manager together with the price of the booked services and said manager shall forward the tourist tax proceeds to the municipality of Balchik. The price of the selected service is indicated at the time of booking and in certain cases may be converted for information purposes from Bulgarian leva into Euros at the exchange rate of the Bulgarian Central Bank as of the day of booking. The amount is to be paid in leva no later than the time limit stipulated in the reservation and the payment is deemed to have been made when the amount is in ALBENA’s bank account. The failure to pay within the specified time limit shall be treated by ALBENA as cancelation on the part of the GUEST in which case Section 8.1 of these General Terms and Conditions shall apply and at ALBENA’s discretion the booking may be deleted or unilaterally cancelled by us. Services not paid within the time limit do not give rise to obligations on the part of ALBENA. The accommodation for children aged between 0 and 1.99 years is free of charge, and these are not described as independent guests. The information related to them should be entered by the client in the “Comments” field when making the booking. Children aged between 2 and 11.99 years (age at the time of the stay at the hotel) are entitled to special discounts. To use these discounts, it is necessary to indicate at the time of booking the number of children and the system will automatically calculate the price of booking. Children up to 11.99 years of age (age at the time of the stay at the hotel) are charged the special price, whereas children who have turned 12 years (age at the time of the stay at the hotel) are charged adult prices. In the event of incorrect information, when checking in the GUEST pays the difference up to the full value of the booking on the basis of reception desk rates at the time of checking in, without discounts.

The payment of bookings and other services takes place once or in instalments as per the specific offer you are considering. The method of payment is indicated in the offer itself as well as in the email confirming the booking. The price includes the services as stated in the booking form for the specific period of stay, selected rooms, and number of guests. The meal plan is indicated for each specific booking. In cases where the price includes food, this is stated explicitly in the booking order.

The payment can be made using one of the following methods:

With a credit or debit card;

By bank transfer:

REFERENCE: BOOKING № ______

TO THE BENEFIT OF: “ALBENA” AD

All fees and charges for bank transfers and currency conversion are at the expense of the payer. ALBENA shall not consider a payment as a fully paid booking if the amount that arrives in the company’s bank account is smaller than the booking price stated in the booking confirmation.

In case of any payment not using the bank transfer method, the transaction is processed by payment institutions and ALBENA does not receive any data regarding your credit or debit cards. When paying with a bank card, the GUEST must enter into the payment form the complete data about the bank card used to make the payment – card number, expiry date, CVC / CVV security code, personal secret password for 3D identification. By providing the needed data, the GUEST or the third party identifies themselves, confirms the payment amount and orders the card account to be debited with the payment amount and to be transferred to ALBENA’s account. The client may not dispute a payment confirmed by entering a specific identification password (CVC / CVV security code, personal secret password for 3D identification or another identification password / code) or a payment confirmed by entering a 6-digit code to access the mobile application.

In the event of payments via PayPal or similar payment systems or payment via a bank or by card, ALBENA is not liable for any expenses concerning fees, commissions or other additional charges borne by the Client because of the transaction, as well as in the event of currency exchange, as applied by the bank that has issued the client’s card in the cases in which the currency is different from Bulgarian leva (BGN).

Card payments on the website are treated as international payments by the banks in Bulgaria. According to their rules for work with cards and card payments for such types of transactions, some banks charge additional fees. The expenses associated with such payments are borne solely by the Client. Therefore, ALBENA recommends to its clients to check with their bank regarding eventual additional fees that the client could be charged with when paying online or regarding fees for a bank transfer for services offered on the site.

ALBENA, after receiving the payment, issues an invoice for the service to the person indicated by the Client / Guest. With several payment instalments, a separate invoice is issued for each payment.

The features or the prices of services may change at any time. Due to technical reasons, it is possible that they contain errors for which ALBENA apologizes in advance to its consumers and clients that ALBENA is not liable in the event of errors.

7. Promotions – Rebates, Discounts and Package Prices

ALBENA reserves the right to announce promotional prices. The promotional offers are valid only for newly booking guests, under the respective conditions, and may not be a reason for a demand on the part of the GUEST to reduce the price or a justification for claims. In the cases when ALBENA’s site features special offers (lower prices) for a specific hotel and period, the amounts prepaid are non-refundable. Before you book, please carefully check the terms of the offer.

8. Prepaying the booking

In order to guarantee a specific booking, the GUEST or the client should pay in advance a certain part of the total booking amount or the entire amount. The absence of a prepayment does not give rise to an obligation on the part of ALBENA whereas it does not exempt the GUEST from paying the amount due and adhering to these terms and conditions. ALBENA reserves the right to demand payment, legal interest as well as penalty payments whenever applicable.

Unless otherwise stated at the time of booking, the guest should pay in advance a deposit equal to 20% (twenty per cent) of the total amount of the booking within a 30-day period from the confirmation of the booking. The remainder of the sum due shall be paid no later than on the day of arrival and by all means before the GUEST checks in on site at the ALBENA holiday village.

With last-minute bookings for proximate arrivals (fewer than 30 days between the booking date and the arrival date), the amount due on the booking shall be paid no later than on the day before the arrival and by all means before the guest checks in, whereas in this case, in the absence of prepayment, ALBENA does not guarantee confirmed bookings that have not been prepaid. Failure to pay leads to the automatic cancelation of the booking. Prepayment equal to 100% (hundred percent) may be required for promotional offers as well as for last-minute bookings with this being explicitly pointed out at the time of and after making the booking.

If the GUEST did not pay or did not adhere to payment deadlines, ALBENA has the right without the consent of the client, to cancel unilaterally the booking as well as to assume that the client cancelled the booking.

In this case, ALBENA is not accountable to the GUEST and / or the client and shall not owe indemnities or penalties.
