By making a booking, whether directly through our website, by phone, or through a third-party platform, you ("Guest", "you", or "your") acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms.

These Terms apply to all guests, including the primary booking holder and all persons staying at or visiting the accommodation during the rental period.

ELS MAJORDOMS ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITY

Property management services

Els Majordoms acts as a professional property manager and intermediary on behalf of the property owner. The rental agreement is between the guest and the property owner, not between the guest and Els Majordoms.

Our responsibilities

Els Majordoms manages:

Guest communication and support during the stay
Coordination of maintenance and repairs
Documentation of incidents and damages
Processing of complaints and compensation requests
Security deposit administration

Owner authorization

Final decisions regarding compensation amounts and security deposit deductions require property owner approval. Els Majordoms:

Assesses incidents and damages according to our standard procedures
Provides recommendations to the property owner
Communicates decisions on behalf of the property owner
Processes approved refunds and deductions

Limitation of liability

Els Majordoms is not financially liable for:

Service failures or property defects beyond our control
Compensation amounts or refunds (paid by the property owner)
Property owner decisions regarding claims or damages

Els Majordoms acts solely as intermediary and coordinator. All compensation and damage claims are ultimately resolved between the guest and the property owner, with Els Majordoms facilitating the process.

PAYMENT TERMS AND BOOKING CONFIRMATION

Payment schedule

All bookings require payment according to the schedule provided at the time of booking. Payment schedules typically include:

An initial payment or deposit due within a specified timeframe after booking confirmation
A final payment due prior to check-in
Security deposit due prior to check-in

Payment deadline

The guest must complete the initial payment within 3 calendar days of receiving the payment request or booking confirmation. If payment is not received within this timeframe, Els Majordoms and/or the property owner reserve the right to cancel the booking without prior notice and without any liability.

Cancellation for non-payment

If a booking is cancelled due to non-payment:

The guest will receive written notification of the cancellation
The accommodation will be released for other bookings
The guest forfeits any right to the reserved dates
Any amounts already paid may be subject to cancellation fees as per the applicable cancellation policy

Late payments

For subsequent payments (e.g., final payment, security deposit), failure to pay by the specified deadline may result in:

Booking cancellation without refund
Denial of access to the property on the day of arrival
Forfeiture of all amounts previously paid

Payment methods

Accepted payment methods will be specified in the booking confirmation. The guest is responsible for any fees charged by their payment provider or bank.

COMPLAINTS AND INCIDENT RESOLUTION

Immediate notification requirement

The guest is required to report any incident, deficiency, or problem with the accommodation immediately and, in any case, within 4 hours of detection. Communication must be made through the official channels provided by Els Majordoms (WhatsApp, phone, or email).

Resolution commitment

Els Majordoms commits to addressing and resolving reported incidents as quickly as possible. Our team is available to provide support throughout your stay.

Conditions for valid complaints

Only complaints that meet the following conditions will be considered valid:

The incident was reported during the stay within the 4-hour timeframe
Els Majordoms was informed and given the opportunity to attempt to resolve the issue
The incident could not be adequately resolved despite our efforts

Amenities and services covered

Compensation is only applicable for amenities, features, and services that are:

Explicitly listed in the property description on the booking platform or website
Confirmed in writing in pre-arrival communications or the booking confirmation
Advertised as included in the rental price

Features, amenities, or services that are present at the property but not advertised or confirmed in writing are provided on an "as-is" basis with no guarantee of availability or functionality. No compensation will be provided for issues related to unadvertised features.

Examples:

If a fireplace is present but not listed in the property amenities, no refund applies if it is non-functional
If a property has a hot tub but it is not advertised, no compensation applies if it is unavailable
If additional rooms or spaces are not included in the advertised capacity, they are not covered

Guests should review the property listing carefully before booking to ensure all desired amenities are explicitly included.

Post-stay complaints

Complaints submitted after the end of the stay will not be accepted if the incident was not communicated during the accommodation period, except in duly justified exceptional cases.

Compensation requests

Any request for compensation or refund must be submitted in writing within 7 calendar days after the end of the stay. Compensation, if applicable, will be calculated proportionally based on:

The severity of the incident
The duration of the problem
The actual impact on the use of the accommodation
Els Majordoms' ability to resolve it

COMPENSATION CALCULATION METHOD

When a valid claim for compensation is accepted, the refund will be calculated using the following principles:

Proportional calculation

Compensation is calculated proportionally based on:

Duration: The actual time the problem persisted (measured in hours)
Severity: The impact on fundamental systems or major features of the accommodation
Scope: Whether the issue affected the entire property or only specific areas

Refund percentages

If a fundamental system (such as water, power, or heating) fails, or if a major feature (such as the swimming pool or outdoor area) is unavailable, refunds will be provided as follows:

15% refund: For a failure lasting 4 hours or more
30% refund: For a failure lasting 12 hours or more
Maximum refund: Capped at 50% of the total booking cost

The refund percentage applies to the affected portion of the stay, calculated hourly.

Conditions for refund eligibility

To be eligible for compensation, the following conditions must be met:

The issue was reported immediately (within 4 hours of occurrence)
Els Majordoms was contacted and given the opportunity to resolve the issue
The issue was not caused by guest actions or negligence
The issue was not caused by external factors beyond our control (e.g., power company outages, storms, natural disasters)
Els Majordoms was unable to provide an adequate temporary solution or alternative

Alternative compensation

In some cases, instead of a monetary refund, Els Majordoms may offer:

Vouchers for future stays
Complimentary services (such as late check-out or additional cleaning)
On-site amenities or upgrades

Final determination

All compensation decisions will be communicated in writing with a clear breakdown of the calculation. Els Majordoms reserves the right to assess each case individually based on the specific circumstances.

SECURITY DEPOSIT AND LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES

Initial inspection

At check-in or immediately after arrival, the guest must review the condition of the accommodation. Any pre-existing damage not documented must be reported to Els Majordoms within the first 4 hours of the stay.

Guest liability

The guest is liable for:

Proper use of the accommodation and all its facilities
Damage caused to the accommodation, its equipment, furniture, and facilities during the stay
Damage caused by improper use, negligence, or accidents
Damage caused by their companions, visitors, or pets (if authorized)

Damage procedure

Detection: Els Majordoms will conduct an inspection of the accommodation immediately after check-out. Damage discovered after the initial inspection must be reported within 14 calendar days of check-out
Notification: The guest will be informed of any damage detected and its repair or replacement cost within 14 calendar days after check-out
Documentation: Photographic evidence and quotes or invoices of costs will be provided
Deduction: The corresponding amount will be deducted from the deposited security deposit
Additional amount: If the cost of damages exceeds the security deposit amount, the guest must pay the difference within 7 days

Security deposit refund

The security deposit will be refunded in full within a maximum of 7 business days after check-out if:

No damage attributable to the guest has been detected
The accommodation is returned in the same condition as it was delivered
There are no outstanding debts for additional services

Valuation of damages

Damage compensation will be calculated based on:

Actual Cash Value: The cost to repair or replace the damaged item with materials of the same kind and quality, minus appropriate deduction for age, condition, and physical depreciation
Depreciation: Applied based on the item's age, condition, and expected useful life
No betterment: Compensation does not cover improvements or upgrades beyond the item's original condition at the time of damage

The guest will only be charged for the depreciated value of damaged items, not the full replacement cost of new items.

Recovery rights (subrogation)

Upon payment of any damage claim by the guest, the property owner and Els Majordoms reserve the right to pursue recovery of such amounts from any responsible party, including but not limited to the guest, their companions, or visitors. By accepting these terms, the guest acknowledges and agrees that:

The property owner retains all rights to recover damage costs from the responsible party
The guest will cooperate fully with any recovery efforts, including providing statements, evidence, or testimony if required
These rights of recovery remain in effect even after the security deposit has been processed

Normal wear and tear

Normal wear and tear resulting from ordinary and reasonable use of the accommodation and its facilities will not be considered compensable damage.

Video Surveillance and Personal Data Processing

Some properties under this agreement are equipped with clearly visible video surveillance cameras installed in exterior areas and common spaces of the property, excluding at all times bedrooms, bathrooms, rest areas, and any other private zones where privacy would be expected. These cameras are used exclusively to ensure the safety of persons, property, and facilities; to monitor compliance with house rules established in the rental agreement (including occupancy limits and maximum capacity); and, where applicable, for employment monitoring of staff and service providers, in accordance with applicable regulations.

The property owner acts as the data controller for personal data (images) captured by the video surveillance system. The legal basis for processing is the legitimate interest of the controller in protecting the property and, where applicable, fulfilling legal and contractual obligations.

Personal data may be processed by third-party data processors, such as Els Majordoms, S.L., exclusively for the purposes stated above and under a contract that guarantees the confidentiality and security of the data.

Images will be retained for a maximum period of one month from capture, unless they must be made available to authorities due to the commission of a crime or administrative offence.

Access to the images is restricted solely to authorized persons, who are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

Affected parties are informed of the existence of information signs at the entrances to video-monitored areas. Data subjects may exercise their rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, and portability by contacting recepcio@elsmajordoms.com.

For more information on the processing of personal data, please refer to this privacy policy available at www.elsmajordoms.com.

Some properties may also be equipped with:

Noise monitoring sensors, which do not record conversations but measure decibel levels to help enforce quiet hours.
Occupancy monitoring devices, used to estimate the number of people in the property and ensure compliance with maximum occupancy rules.
Smoke detectors and environmental sensors, used solely for safety and fire prevention purposes.
Digital thermostats that may collect data on temperature, humidity, and manual interaction for climate management.

These systems are installed to enhance guest safety, protect the property, and ensure respect for house rules. Their presence is clearly stated in the property profile and house guide.

6. Data Protection (GDPR)

Personal data collected during the stay (e.g., contact information, ID, surveillance data if applicable) is processed in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Data Controller: Els Majordoms, S.L.

Purpose: Booking management, marketing and communication, guest safety, property protection, and compliance with legal obligations

Rights: Guests may exercise their rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, and portability by contacting: recepcio@elsmajordoms.com

We may also collect personal data through third-party booking platforms (e.g., Airbnb, Booking.com) that you use to make a reservation. These platforms are independent data controllers, and their own privacy policies apply.

We use a property management system (Avantio) to store and manage guest data, under a secure data processing agreement.

We are legally required to share guest ID data with the Mossos d'Esquadra (Catalan police) under applicable laws.

Property owners have access to guest data necessary for the management of the rental. Guests are legally considered clients of the property owner, and this is reflected in the data sharing model.

Internal Data Handling and Communication Tools

We use secure digital tools to organize operations and communicate with guests. These include internal planning systems (e.g., for first names and stay dates), contact management tools (e.g., for guest name, phone number, and arrival date), and messaging applications for customer support.

Access to these tools is limited to authorized staff involved in guest care or reservation management, and all data is handled with appropriate safeguards and confidentiality.

7. Third-Party Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal data to third parties for commercial purposes. We may share data with:

Booking platforms you used to make the reservation
Technology service providers under contract who help us operate our website and manage bookings
Law enforcement authorities, when required by law
Property owners (who are also considered data controllers)

All third parties are required to protect your data under GDPR-compliant agreements.

8. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to other websites or booking platforms. These sites operate independently, and we are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.
