Terms and Conditions

Clear information for a better stay.

Who you are booking with

When you book on residentas.com, your contract is with Residentas, Rua Serpa Pinto, 15, 4.º Direito, 1200-443 Lisboa, Portugal. Our apartments are registered as local accommodation (Alojamento Local) in Lisbon. You must be 18 or over to book.

Your booking

Your booking is confirmed when we send you a confirmation with a reservation code. Please check the apartment, the dates and the number of guests straight away, and tell us at once if anything is wrong. Only the guests named in the booking may stay.

Prices, taxes and fees

Prices are in euro. Before you confirm, the booking page shows the full price of your stay, including the cleaning fee, any additional guest fee, and the Lisbon municipal tourist tax.

Lisbon tourist tax

Set by Lisbon City Council at €4 per guest per night, for guests aged 13 and over, for a maximum of 7 nights per stay. Children under 13 do not pay it.

How and when you pay

What you pay at the moment of booking depends on the rate you choose.

RateAt bookingRest of the payment
Non-refundableThe full amount is charged immediatelyNothing further
FlexibleNothing is chargedThe full amount is charged automatically 3 days before arrival, to the card you gave when booking
Early bookingNothing is chargedThe full amount is charged automatically 30 days before arrival, to the card you gave when booking

Card details are entered directly into our payment provider’s secure form; we never see your full card number. If a later payment cannot be taken, we will contact you, and if it still cannot be taken we may cancel the booking.

Changing or cancelling

The cancellation terms that apply to your stay are shown with the price before you confirm, and again in your confirmation. In short: the non-refundable rate cannot be refunded once booked; the flexible and early booking rates can be cancelled without charge until 2 days before arrival (flexible) or 30 days before arrival (early booking), after which the full amount is due. If the automatic payment has already been taken by then, we refund you in full.

To change or cancel, email residentas@residentas.com with your reservation code. Refunds go back to the card you paid with.

Accommodation booked for specific dates is excluded from the 14-day distance-selling right of withdrawal, under Decreto-Lei n.º 24/2014, Article 17(1)(k). Your cancellation rights are the ones described above.

Arrival and departure

Check-in is from 4:00 pm and check-out is by 10:00 am. Access instructions are sent before you arrive; some apartments use a keybox or digital entry. Please tell us roughly when you expect to arrive. We are required to register guests with the Portuguese authorities, so we may ask to see identification.

House rules
  • These are residential, family buildings: please avoid noise after 10 pm.
  • No smoking anywhere inside, and no parties or events.
  • Pets are not allowed. Children aged 2–12 and infants under 2 are welcome.
  • You are responsible for damage beyond normal wear, and we may charge for it after telling you what happened.
If something goes wrong

If we cannot provide the apartment you booked for reasons outside our control, we will offer you a comparable apartment or refund you in full. Beyond that, our responsibility is limited to the amount you paid for the stay. Nothing here limits rights the law gives you as a consumer, including in the event of death, personal injury, or our own serious fault.

You may also use the national complaints book at livroreclamacoes.pt.

Privacy

What we do with your personal data is set out in our Privacy Policy.

Governing law

These terms are governed by Portuguese law, and the Portuguese courts have jurisdiction, without affecting the consumer protections of the country where you live.
