Race-to-Book Reservation

We will reserve your dates when we have received a 50+% deposit from you.  Sadly
it occasionally happens that several Guests ask to book conflicting dates.  This is a horrid
situation for us but we try to be as fair to everyone as we possibly can be.  So if
more than one Guest asks to reserve the same dates we will try to see if some
flexibility will give everyone the holiday that they want, but if that is not possible
then we have to award the reservation on the basis of the first deposit we received.

If you have recently enquired about a date, but your deposit has not yet been
received, we will endeavour to notify you if another Guest enquires about a
conflicting date.

Our objective is to be as fair and transparent as practical. 
(We also have to maintain confidentiality for all our Guests and potential Guests. 
We will therefore only be able to provide you with outline information concerning
another Guest who wishes to book the same dates as yourself.)

Once a 50+% payment has been received from you, then your dates are reserved. 
Every eMail and letter we send to you will always include your name and the
arrival date and the departure date of your holiday in the "Subject".  Despite
taking the utmost care misunderstandings can occur, so if you spot any
discrepancy or have any concerns at all, please tell us immediately.

If you initially send only a 50% deposit then please send the balance 8 weeks
before your holiday arrival date.  But please also consider sending 100% from the
outset - it is a lot less work for everyone if you do!

100% payment is required 8 weeks before the start of your holiday.  However if there is
good reason for a delay, for example you are making a late booking, then we will be us
understanding and flexible as we can be.  Nevertheless, if 100% payment is not provided
8 weeks before the start of your holiday, and you have not communicated with us a satisfactory
intent to make 100% payment, we may have to treat your requested booking as "not reserved".

All Guests will be asked to sign an Arrival Acceptance Form and police registration click here

Deposit Refund

The purpose of the deposit is to protect IdyllicPrague from losses incurred as a
result of late cancellation of reserved dates.  So we will always refund a deposit
if we can - our intention is only to withhold the actual losses incurred.

Payment

As this is a public open access website, some details have been ##suppressed##
below.  We will provide you with the missing details when you contact us.

We currently offer a choice of 4 methods of payment

We currently take payment

1) Personal cheque made out to "* * *******" and posted to "IdyllicPrague" 33 Daws Lane
London NW7 4SD. Our experience has been that only a simple cheque is needed and cheques
can be from any country in any currency - all the different cheques we have received so far have
all worked OK! Note that the cheque needs to be payable to "* * *******" not "IdyllicPrague" please.
This is because "******* s.r.o." which trades as "IdyllicPrague.com" is a Czech company not a UK company.

2) Bank Transfer to "* * *******" CitiBank GBP 30-00-45 ******** Citibank PO BOX 49930 London SE5 7XT

3) Bank Transfer to "* * *******" CitiBank GBP 30-00-45 ******** IBAN GB 92 CITI ****** *********
Swift CITIGB2L Citibank International Plc Global Consumer Banking PO BOX 49930 London SE5 7XT United Kingdom

4) Bank Transfer to "******* s.r.o." CitiBank CZK **********/2600 IBAN:CZ33 2600 0000 **** **** ****

Payment should be on the basis "sender pays all costs".  Please make certain that
you have paid in full well in advance of your holiday - post, and banks often malfunction
and it is horrid for all of us if we are anxiously waiting for a payment to arrive just before
the start of a holiday, uncertain if the holiday will be able to proceed. 

Payment is on the basis of payment that arrives, not payment that is sent. 
Sadly the international banking system is quite greedy - when transmitting money
internationally banks often deduct a "sending fee", an "intermediary fee" and then
give a poor exchange rate.  Obviously we will pay any banking costs charged by our
own bank, but we do ask that the full payment amount for your holiday arrives in
our bank account.  We have bank accounts in GBP, USD and CZK.  Click here for more details.
