Booking
Booking a Property on Rigaholidays
When booking independently the majority of holidaymakers prefer to arrange their accommodation first. So relax and take your time surfing Rigaholidays to pick the property that's just right for you.
Once you started to select some apartments you like it's simply a case of contacting the owner. In most cases you can call, fax or email the owner direct. Many also have links to their own websites with the added benefit that you can check availability online prior to calling.
We normally recommend you phone the owner as they will be able to give you firsthand knowledge about their property and the surrounding areas shops, bars or restaurants. If you are having difficulties contacting an owner please call us and we will be happy to contact them on your behalf.
It really is that simple. As well as being able to answer all your questions the owner can advise on availability and price. In many cases they will be able to send you a brochure.
*We also feature properties from a number of exclusive villa companies from all over the world.
If you want an independent opinion of a property why not ask the owner for contact details of pervious guests? Most properties are fully booked throughout the summer months and their business is dependent on satisfied customers and repeat business so they should be only too happy to oblige.
*Whether you choose to fly, sail or drive before confirming your villa booking make sure you travel arrangements are booked.
Payments & Precautions
Most owners will expect you to pay a deposit when you confirm your booking. Before sending any money you should get written confirmation of your booking from the owner. This should include the dates of your trip, the agreed price and any extras, i.e. maid service.
Many owners ask for a returnable deposit to cover breakage's during your stay so it is worthwhile asking the owner to inspect the property before your stay and before you leave. This will ensure there is a full itinerary and avoid any disputes about breakage's.
One of the many benefits of booking direct with the owner is that they have limitless information about their property and first hand knowledge of the area. It is also a good idea to establish if there is a local contact who can resolve any problems you may have during your stay.
