At a glance: TotaVilla cancellation essentials

• Free cancellation window: You can cancel your reservation in writing up to 60 days before arrival at no cost, unless the stay falls within two months after the booking. Cancellations within 60 days of arrival, and bookings made within 60 days of arrival, follow the published cancellation terms (annuleringsvoorwaarden).
• If TotaVilla cancels: You’ll be notified immediately and offered an equivalent or better property. If you decline—or no suitable alternative is available—TotaVilla refunds all rent already paid. No additional compensation is owed.
• Transfer (overbooking) option: You may switch your reservation to another property up to two months before your original arrival for a €29 transfer fee. Within two months, a transfer is treated as a cancellation and the cancellation terms apply.
• Change requests: If your change requires a new rental agreement, an administrative fee of €15 applies. All confirmed changes are provided in writing.
• Payment timeline: Pay a 30% or 50% deposit (property-dependent) within 8 days of booking. Settle the remaining 70% or 50% no later than 8 weeks before arrival. Bookings within 8 weeks of arrival require full payment immediately.
• Missed payments: If payment is not made on time, TotaVilla may cancel the reservation. Amounts already paid are not refunded; the cancellation terms apply.

Your rights if TotaVilla must cancel

When unforeseen circumstances force a provider to cancel, you need a clear, fair outcome. Here’s how TotaVilla cancellations work—step by step:

What TotaVilla will do

1. Notify you immediately by phone (and in writing if needed).
2. Offer an equivalent or better property as a replacement.
3. If you decline or no suitable alternative is available, refund all rent already paid.

What you’re entitled to

• A comparable or superior alternative when available.
• A full refund of rent paid if you don’t accept the alternative or none is available.
• Clear confirmation that no additional compensation is due beyond the refund of rent.

Practical tips

• If offered an alternative, check capacity, location, facilities, and dates to confirm it meets your needs.
• Decide promptly so you can secure your preferred option (alternative or refund) without delay.

Your options if you need to cancel or change

Life happens. Here’s how to handle TotaVilla cancellations and adjustments with minimal stress.

Free cancellation window explained

• Free cancellation: Cancel in writing up to 60 days before arrival at no cost.
• Important exception: If your stay is within two months after the booking, the free cancellation window does not apply; the standard cancellation terms apply instead.
• Inside 60 days or last‑minute bookings: Cancellations within 60 days of arrival, and reservations made within 60 days of arrival, follow the annuleringsvoorwaarden outlined in the rental terms.

Tip: You can always view the complete rental terms in the Huurvoorwaarden section and as an attachment to your booking confirmation.

Transfers (overbooking) and edits

• Transfer to another property (overbook): Allowed up to two months before your original arrival for a €29 fee.
• Inside two months: A transfer request is handled as a cancellation, and the cancellation terms apply.
• Changes that require a new contract: €15 administrative fee. TotaVilla confirms changes in writing so you have a clear record.

Payment timing and how it intersects with cancellations

• Deposit: 30% or 50% of the rent (depending on the property) is due within 8 days of booking.
• Balance: The remaining 70% or 50% is due no later than 8 weeks before arrival.
• Late bookings: If you book within 8 weeks of arrival, pay the full amount immediately.
• If payment is late: TotaVilla may cancel your reservation. Previously paid amounts are not refunded, and the cancellation terms remain in force.
