What is Venere.com? |
| Venere.com is not a travel agency; it gives internet users the possibility to book accomodations directly online. Venere.com gives the users the opportunity to view the properties' pages, check availability and prices and then send reservation requests to the accomodations. |

|
How exactly does the Venere.com online reservation system work? |
| Once you have made a reservation request, it arrives directly to the accomodation who then responds to the reservation request via the Venere.com system. The service provides an effective, secure and simple channel of communication between hotel properties and users. Unlike a travel agency you can search, choose and book accomodation yourself with the property of your choice. |

|
When I make a reservation request, how is it processed? |
| The reservation request is sent directly to the property selected. It then processes the request via the Venere.com system and sends its response back to you. This establishes a direct contact between the Venere.com registered user and the property selected. Your reservation is confirmed when the property sends you its confirmation message. |

|
How long will it take for my reservation request to be answered to? |
| Please be informed that two categories of reservation requests are possible: Instant bookings and bookings on request. In the first case you will receive an automatic confirmation message from the hotel via Venere.com. You will not receive any further confirmation from the hotel, since this confirmation message is definite. In the second case you will receive an email informing you that the property has received your request. The property will then respond via email within 48 hours either confirming or cancelling your request. Bear in mind that your request will be confirmed by the property and until then do not consider it as confirmed. When the status of your booking appears as 'OK' in your user account you can rest assured that it has been confirmed by the property. In order to receive confirmation via e-mail make sure that the address you enter when sending your booking request is correct. If you enter an incorrect e-mail address you will not be able to receive a reply from the hotel and this could lead to communication problems and misunderstandings. Therefore, it is crucial that you make sure all data is correct. |

How do I cancel a booking? |
| Please be informed that all bookings need to be cancelled in your user
account within the valid cancellation timeframe in order to avoid
penalties. After the cancellation deadline has expired, it is necessary
to contact the property directly, since in this case only the property
itself can decide whether or not to cancel a booking free of
charge. To cancel a booking, please select 'Your reservations' on the Venere.com homepage and enter your registered email address and password. From here, you can view the list of the reservations made. Click on the link 'Cancel this reservation' next to the reservation number and then click on YES. Your booking will then be cancelled in our system and there is no need for any further contact with the hotel on your part. To check that you have cancelled your booking correctly, you can click on 'Your reservations' on our homepage, and you will see that the status of your reservation is 'CANCELLED'. Venere.com does not accept cancellation requests sent via email to our Customer Service Department, even if the request is sent before the cancellation policy expires. All cancellations need to be made following the above instructions. Should the cancellation not be made accordingly, Venere.com is not to be held responsable for eventual penalties charged to your credit card by the property. |

How do I modify a booking? |
| Unfortunately, it is not possible to modify a booking in the system. You must cancel the reservation, following the instructions above (See 'How do I cancel a booking?'), and follow the reservation process again. After the cancellation deadline it is also necessary to contact the property directly, since in this case only the property can accept changes free of charge. |

Does a double room have one double-size bed or two separate single beds? |
| Unfortunately, this varies from property to property. To avoid confusion we suggest that you request in the notes either for a double-size bed or two single separate beds. |
