BOOKING INSTRUCTIONS

  • Once you have selected your Petite B&B, I will send you an Invoice to pay the necessary first payment to secure the B&B.

  • This payment amount varies according to the length of your stay is generally 20-50euro per night of the total nightly price.

  • This can be paid paid via PayPal or Credit Card.

  • Once this amount is paid you will receive a Booking Confirmation via email with the arrival details and instructions i.e your hosts contact details (phone and email), entry instructions e.g. the building code/s and instructions on how to reach your B&B from the airport/train station.

  • Your host will be in contact with you shortly after booking is confirmed to say hello, and to work out any finer details where necessary. ie precise arrival time etc. Guests are free to contact their hosts at any time from this point should their arrival time change.

  • Balance payment for outstanding amount is due on arrival to your B&B host in euro cash. Prior payment is also possible - please request this anytime if you prefer this.

T&Cs/Cancellation Policy

Please note our cancellation policy as below applies to all Petite Paris B&Bs and apartments. If select homes have their own independent policy, it is detailed on the webpage for that home. Otherwise the following applies:

  • Your Deposit payment as above at the time of booking, is non refundable at any time for any reason, but if you need to cancel your booking at any time, that amount paid remains a credit to you for the deposit payment for another booking for another B&B booking, another time. So your deposit is never lost and always remains a credit to you to reuse whenever you can travel again to Paris. It can also be transferred to friends and family. With NO expiry date.

    • Credit amounts for deposit payments cannot be transferred to any balances due on another exisiting booking or B&B. Credits can only be used for another new booking and towards that specific deposit amount for that new booking.

  • Cancellations made within 4 weeks before arrival - 100% of the outstanding balance to your host is due and invoice will be sent to you to settle your due amount. A reciept will be issued to you immediately so you can claim this payment on your travel insurance. Petite Paris is a very small personalised service and cancellations have massive impact on us too - and its often unlikely we are able to rebook the dates you are cancelling which we have been holding for you - sometimes 6 months or even years in advance. However if we/the host is able to rebook your dates to other guests you will get your balance payment refunded. We aim to remain a human centred honest service in this way! Fairness on both sides of a cancellation has been considered and our focus - and while we simply must set these t&Cs for our own continued operation we will always refund you if we are able to rebook your home for the dates, and even some of the dates that you have cancelled.

  • Furthermore in some cases and for some B&Bs the balance you pay at the time of cancellation may be able to be used entirely for a future stay, with no expiry date. So altogether this means both your deposit and balance payments can be used for an entirely new trip another time. Yay!

    WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING OUT TRAVEL INSURANCE to COVER YOU FOR UNEXPECTED CANCELLATION NEEDS

  • Please Note: Medical Cancellations are not an automatic waiver of the T&Cs, even if you have a medical certificate. As much as my do sympathise with anyone having sudden medical emergency we cannot carry that responsibility of that and waive the cancellation cost at our own detriment. Medical Emergencies are precisely why T&Cs exist and is one of the many reasons why they must - and also the reason why travel insurance is there in case of these unforseen circumstances, to protect you! We strong recommend you take out travel insurance as soon as your flights and accommodation is booked as these are the greatest expenses.

  • T&Cs may be waived entirely for bereavement of immediate family only, and with document proof. This needs to have occurred within the 4 week cancellation period. The deposit payment made at the time of booking remains non refundable at all times - but again, can be used as a credit for another deposit payment anytime.

T&Cs for BALANCE PAYMENTS for B&B hosts

After first booking payment is made the balance due to your host is due on arrival in euro cash. If guest prefer to pay the total balance in full prior to arrival they may request this and an invoice will be sent to you with your hosts bank transfer details. Any additional transfer fees and conversion fees are to be paid for by the guest. A recieipt will then be issued to you from Petite Paris to confirm full payment has been made.

Reducing the number if nights after booking has been made and confirmed:

  • Any date change that is a reduction in the number of nights booked, is considered a cancellation by the guest. No amount of the original deposit amount is refunded and nor can it be applied to the new balance due. BUT CAN be used as a credit to go towards the deposit for another B&B booking another time.

  • For example: your booking total for 5 nights is 625euro and you paid 125euro deposit (25euro per night) which means balance due to your host at arrival is 500euro. If you reduce to say 3 nights, 50euro (25euro per night) is forfeited in the deposit. But 50euro remains a credit to you for another deposit amount for another B&B and the 500euro balance is still due to your host.
