MY BOOKING PROCESS
Once you know the apartment you would like to book we will confirm availability with the owner. If we have sent you previously a shortlist including the apartment, then the availability is already confirmed.
Then, we will send you a PRE RESERVATION FORM
This is the way we have to confirm the agreement. In this form will be written the apartment, contract lenghth, the renters, and our account number, etc. We need this pre reservation form signed and also the payment of our fees done in order to block the apartment
You will need to complete a book on line form with your personal information
To process the booking, we will ask you to send the following information.
– Full name and passport number.
– Your full address and telephone number.
– Your arrival/ and departure details
– name and surnames of your home mates
No, the first payment you do will be our fee + VAT (21%). Please, we encourage you to read carefully our terms and conditions if you have any doubt concerning this issue
This will depend on your landlord policies. Normally will be one or two days before coming. Keep in mind also that most of the landlords ask for a security deposit that you will have to pay also with the first month rent
If you’d prefer to make your booking over the phone, our customer services team will be happy to give you advice on how to choose the accommodation that will suit you best
Most of the owners will ask you to pay the security deposit, which is held as a guarantee in the event that any damage is done to the property during your stay. The amount due varies from apartment to apartment. You’ll find it detailed within the breakdown of costs once you have entered your dates and details
The apartment will be booked once we send you the confirmation by email. We will send you this confirmation once we received our payment fee in our bank account
No, we blocked the apartment for you 24 hours. This is the time you have between you say you want to book the apartment and you pay the fee. Once you pay the fee, then the apartment is blocked and booked for the dates you asked for
There is a one time fee calculated based on the rental period and price. The amount is written at all the properties ad depends on the months you rent the apartment. Please, we encourage you to read carefully our terms and conditions if you have any doubt concerning this issue
Once your booking is confirmed we will send you a confirmation email. We will contact the landlord and ask him to contact you in order to arrange the arrival.
Yes, you will always receive a receipt or invoice once we confirm you the payment.
The minimum booking you can make through 7dreams is 32 days (unless exceptions). On top of that each landlord states their own preference for minimum stay when they list properties on our page. However, in peak periods landlords receive many booking requests and almost all of them prefer longer bookings rather than short ones.
BEFORE I MOVE IN, AFTER MY BOOKING PROCESS
7dreams is an intermediary between landlords and tenants ans therefore will not be present at the check-in time. However, we will always ask you to be in copy at any email you send to the landlord because this is what make our difference amonth all the other companies. We will assist you in all the process. We will take a look also to the contract, and we will explain you anything you need.
We will also help you to negotiate with some points of the contract if are not included. Once you move in, you have a period of 24 hours to tell us if you see something missing from the listing. Landlord will have to fix those structural defects or any lack.
That will depend on the landlord policies. Uses to be by email, before arriving to the apartment. Sometimes, you sign it once you arrive to the apartment. What we recommend you is asking a copy of the contract by email once the reservation is confirmed.
Remember that 7dreams’ goal is to assist you at any process of your housing experience. Tell us what happens and we will assist you. Sometimes just because of we all are from different cultures we have different points of views so let us deal with that!
IN MY HOUSING EXPIERENCE
Most of them do but there are a few landlords that do not provide such document. Please tell us if you will be needing it in your booking request.
The type of contract depends on the landlord, so if you have a preference about this you should mention it on your booking request.
When you arrive at the property you will pay the deposit to the landlord, unless you have done it via bank transfer, in which case you must make the bank transfer with enough time in advance before your arrival so it deposited in your landlord’s account in your move in date (you will know the specified amount as stated in the property ad). You will also sign a contract and get the keys.
We would advise you to only book the property if you are sure about your decision, because once you check into the property there are only very specific circumstances where you could be fully refunded.
You will have a 24 hour period to inspect the property for major defects (e.g. water leaks, infestation, mold), and if a defect is found that makes the property unlivable, you would be fully refunded. We also assure that the property is as we described on our website. Therefore, if what you find when you arrive is significantly different than what was described and shown on our web site, that is also grounds for a full refund. For more information, please refer to our Refund Policy.
For less serious issues, while we would not offer a refund, we can tell you that all of the landlords who work with 7dreams have committed to fix those issues within a reasonable time frame.
If you decide not to sign the lease for a subjective reason that doesn’t fit into one of the two above circumstances, the landlord would not return the first month’s rent that you paid to reserve the room (at this point the booking fee is no longer refundable). That is why we suggest that you only book a room that you are fully content with. However, if you face an extreme circumstance, while we cannot guarantee a refund, we do aim to make sure our tenants are treated fairly, and would try to help you in the situation.
Like any security deposit it will be returned to you if you haven’t violated any terms of the agreement that you have with your landlord.
