Enjoy Barcelona Apartments have put together a Reservation Procedure which explains in details on how to find and book an apartment with us.

Once you made a reservation a provisional confirmation page will be shown. Normally, within 24 hours we will send you a definite, binding booking confirmation.

Please take notice that we can only confirm a reservation if all information provided during the reservation process is correct. Furthermore, we try to confirm reservations made over the weekend as fast as possible, but you might have to wait until Monday to receive an answer. The definite booking confirmation e-mail will include the information given in the provisional confirmation and moreover, it will provide you with the address of the apartment and will give you an explanation on how to get there. You will also find the name and telephone number of your key-holder who will welcome you at the apartment on the agreed time of arrival.

More information on what to do to arrange a time to meet your key-holder will be explained in the confirmation e-mail. Any other relevant information will also be provided in your definite confirmation e-mail. Please make sure to print this e-mail as it will also contain a copy of the contract you need to sign on arrival.

• You make a reservation request through our website.
• Apart from the reservation request information as displayed on screen, a provisional e-mail containing the data of your request will be sent.
• After having received the reservation down payment, the reservation will be confirmed by us through e-mailing you the Confirmed Booking.

The Confirmed Booking e-mail includes:

• Instructions on how to get to the apartment as well as the address

Details of the key-holder

Your contactperson during your stay in Barcelona is the key-holder that is stated in the Confirmed booking e-mail. This can be either the owner him/ herself, a representative of the owner, a collaborating party or an Enjoy Barcelona team member.

You get the keys on arrival at the apartment in Barcelona. After handing over the Outstanding Balance due and after inspecting the apartment with the key-holder, you will receive the corresponding set(s) of key of the apartment you rented. You will be asked to give back the key before 11 a.m. on the day of checking out of the apartment.

No, only your luggage and personal belongings will do. All of our apartments are furnished and equipped like stated on our website. Upon arrival in Barcelona, our apartments will be ready for you and thus you can expect fresh bed linen and sufficient towels on every arrival. Take into account that the apartments are provided with normal towels, so there are no beachtowels in the apartments.

On your arrival to Barcelona you should enter into a clean and tidy apartment, with fresh towels and bed linen. Might this not be the case than you should contact us immediately and we will try to do our utmost to provide you with an quick solution. The apartment will not be cleaned during your stay. If you send us a personal request for cleaning the apartment during your stay we will be glad to arrange this for you at a reasonable extra cost.

Please take note that for most apartments a onetime cleaning fee is required. This will be started clearly on the price information shown before you make your reservation.

The prices include local taxes for the amount of the reservation down payment (what you pay to Enjoy Barcelona). Of this, you will get an invoice from us. In case you require an invoice for the ful amount, the local taxes will be added to the overall invoice by the owner.

If an invoice is required for the total amount of a reservation, please contact us before making the booking. In those cases, the Spanish V.A.T. (16%) will be added to the total sum of the full amount of the booking.

When making use of our booking service you ensure yourself to have a professionally managed apartment, a well-established company intermediating your interests and best of all : since we have direct contact and work on commission basis with the owners YOU DON’T pay more for your booking!

NO ,booking an apartment with Enjoy Barcelona is absolutely for free and therefore NO EXTRA COSTS will thus be added to the final rentalprice we present to you in our online booking system.

Yes, we require a Reservation Down-payment of around 20-30% of the total rent price of your stay in one of the Enjoy Barcelona apartments. This fee is to be payed via a bank transfer or by credit card into our account.

On prove of payment (send us a fax with the copy of the transfer receipt) we will confirm your reservation by sending you the Booking Confirmation e-mail.

Upon arrival to your booked Enjoy Barcelona apartment, the Outstanding Balance due upon arrival (70-80%) has to be paid in cash and handed over to the key-holder at the time you meet each other at the apartment.

The refundable security deposit will be kept during your stay. At the day of your departure from Barcelona you will be checking the apartment with the contact person / key-holder. If the apartment is reasonable clean, tidy and no damage has been caused to the apartment, the deposit will be returned to you.

Please refer to our Terms & Conditions for further details on the refundable security deposit regulations.

In case you encounter your return flight to be delayed or have any other reason you want to stay longer in the apartment, when informing us before hand this should normally not be any problem. However if this is not possible due to e.g. cleaning that must be done or other guests arriving, we have to ask you to leave at 11 a.m. maximum. In order to be able to meet our check-in / check-out schedule we are forced to charge you if you significantly delay the check-out of the apartment.

Please refer to our Terms & Conditions for further details on the refundable security deposit regulations.

Depending on the time between your visit and the cancellation we expect you to pay a certain amount of the booking fee.

• One month (30 days) before arriving at the apartment 100% of the reservation down-payment.

• Two months (30-59 days) before arriving at the apartment 50% of the reservation down-payment.

• More than two months (60-or more day)s before arriving at the apartment 25% of the reservation down-payment.

We recommend clients to make a travel insurance which covers their travel.

Unfortunately sometimes overbooking of our apartments occurs. We will in such cases suggest you a similar apartment. In case that you do not agree with the proposed apartment, we will reinburse the full amount of your reservation down payment.

In case a problem occurs during your stay please contact your key-holder. This is either the owner himself, a representative of the owner, or an enjoy-barcelona.com team member. If in case of emergency you are unable to reach your contact person you can contact with the EU International Emergency telephone number: 112

In general, none of our apartments allow bringing pets. Might you want to bring a pet, please ask us always before hand as there are some owners that do allow it.

• Give your friends/family our Internet address, www.enjoy-barcelona.com and in just a few minutes they can connect to our website and see all our available apartment rentals without having to wait for a catalogue.

• You also have the possibility to send our offers to your friends/family by email, using our "Send to a friend" option.

• If one of your friends/family does not have internet access you can print off the pages of your preferred accommodation and give it to him/her. In contrast to printed catalogues, our site is constantly updated. We work on it every day to give you the most up to date information on availability and prices.
