Incidents 

Hosticasa delivers the properties clean and ready for your stay. However, the existence of incidents is inherent to the use of the properties. And sometimes, impossible to foresee. Hosticasa has an emergency service and will do its best to solve the problem as quickly as possible.

Hosticasa will not assume responsibility for incidents beyond the control of the agency. The guest will not be able to claim any penalty for the existence of circumstances of this nature. For example:

  • Works in the vicinity of the property

Although unlikely, it could potentially occur that unexpected works take place in the vicinity. Such works are usually carried out by property owners, building contractors, or governmental organizations with whom we have no relationship and therefore have no influence on such actions. Hosticasa is not responsible for them.

  • Outages

Water, electricity, and internet outages are not that common. However, municipal and/or regional authorities may, for various reasons, agree to cut off or limit distribution temporarily. Hosticasa cannot be held responsible for any inconvenience or damage caused.

  • Satellite / Cable TV

If satellite or cable TV is in the description, this does not automatically mean that the TV can receive all the programs you want. The homeowners usually have decoders that do not always pick up all international channels.
