General Terms and Conditions for Providing Accommodation Services (private accommodation, hotels, lighthouses, villas, agrotourism) - INTRODUCTION
adriatica.net provides accommodation services in accordance with the General Terms and Conditions, and with the period and details of the confirmed reservation. Adriatica.net is not liable for circumstances caused by conditions beyond its control, including wars, riots, strikes, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, sanitary disruptions, restrictions by local authorities, death or illness of service provider and the like.)
- BOOKING AND PAYMENT
Inquiries and booking of accommodation can be done electronically, by mail or in person at the adriatic.net office as well as at adriatica.net partner agencies. When booking, the customer confirms that he is familiar with the General Terms and Conditions, and that he accepts them in their entirety. Thus, everything stated in the General Terms and Conditions becomes legally binding both for the customer and adriatica.net. When booking, the customer is required to give all the information necessary in the booking procedure. When booking, the customer is required to pay an advance, depending on the payment method, while the balance must be paid at least 15 days prior to the arrival date or directly to the host upon arrival, depending on the payment method, that the guest was informed about while confirming the reservation. Note when paying by credit card - your credit card will be charged to the amount stated in SIT/EUR.
- SOJOURN TAX
According to the Croatian Law on the Sojourn Tax, customers are required to pay the Sojourn Tax when paying for their accommodation. The Sojourn Tax in the Republic of Croatia varies from 2,00 to 7,00 KN per person per day for adults. Customers from the age of 12 to 18 have a 50% discount, while children under the age of 12 are exempt from paying. The final amount of the Sojourn Tax is determined by the destination in the Republic of Croatia and travel period, and is charged according to the General Terms and Conditions when balance payment is made. The amount of Sojourn Tax to be paid will be stated on your reservation calculation. If a country (for example, Austria) has a law defining that Sojourn Tax must be paid on the spot, the amount of Sojourn Tax will not be stated on the calculation and the guest is required to pay the amount upon arrival.
- PRICE OF ACCOMMODATION
The price of accommodation includes the basic service as described in the booked accommodation unit. Special services are those not included in the price of accommodation (in accommodation unit description indicated by "services upon agreement" or "additional services" available if arranged in advance); therefore the customer pays for them separately. These services must be requested at the time of booking. The price of accommodation is given in EUR. adriatica.net reserves the right to make changes to the stated prices (in the event that the host changes prices or there are changes in exchange rates). For customers who have paid an advance for their reservation, adriatica.net guarantees the price of accommodation, stated in the calculation according to which the advance was paid. If the changes occur prior to the payment of the advance, adriatica.net is required to inform the customer. If more customers than are stated on the voucher arrive at the accommodation unit, the host has the right to deny the extra customers accommodation or to accommodate all of the customers at extra charge directly made to the host.
- CATEGORIZATION AND SERVICE DESCRIPTION
Accommodation units offered by adriatica.net are described in accordance to the official categorization of the authorized institution, and based on onsite assessment prior to being put in adriatica.net's online offer. Standards for accommodation, food, services, etc. differ from place to place, country to country, and cannot be compared. Information obtained at the point of sale does not oblige adriatica.net in any way more than any information available on the Internet pages www.adriatica.net in the adriatica.net catalog or other printed material. Notes for presented information
- adriatica.net's RIGHT TO CHANGES AND CANCELLATION

Should the substitute accommodation be available only in an accommodation unit of higher category and should the price of the substitute accommodation be higher by 15% or more than the initially booked accommodation, adriatica.net reserves the right to charge the price difference upon consulting the customer. In cases where substitute accommodation for paid accommodation is not available, adriatica.net reserves the right to cancel the reservation upon prior customer notification (at least 7 days before arrival) and guarantees the refund of the complete paid amount.
