A friendly and safe experience

Guesthouse Policies

These Guesthouse Policies are considered a part of our reservation agreement with you. By booking, you agree to abide by all of our Guesthouse Policies, terms and conditions, and procedures.

GENERAL POLICIES

 

FRONT DESK HOURS

 

Please note that the Front Desk is usually open from 9:00 to 22:00 during the summer (May – September) and from 9:00 to 20:00 during the winter (October – April). Occasionally, we may close the Front Desk before 20:00 or make changes to the working hours.

 

 

ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE

 

CHECK-IN REQUIREMENTS

 

When you arrive at our guesthouse, we kindly request that you provide valid government-issued photo identification (Identity Card / Passport / Driver’s License) for each person who will be staying overnight. This includes minors as well.

 

Alternatively, you may also complete the online check-in through https://guestportal.si with the provided check-in ID and PIN.

 

Please note that we are unable to register you and give you the keys unless valid photo identification is provided for every individual staying overnight.

 

CHECK-IN

 

Check-in time is between 15:00 and 22:00. Please note that arrivals after 22:00 are not possible unless previously arranged with our staff. If you don’t check in by 22:00 when the Front Desk closes or fail to arrange a later check-in with the staff, your reservation will be considered a no-show and charged accordingly.

 

  • EARLY ARRIVALS

    Arrivals before 15:00 are always subject to availability and require prior confirmation. However, we will make every effort to accommodate your request. Please remember to contact us before your arrival date to ensure a seamless check-in process.

 

  • ARRIVALS AFTER 17:00

    As we also manage our sister property nearby, we are not always available on-site. That is why to make things easy and flexible, we offer self-check-in for arrivals after 17:00. You can access the property and your room by retrieving the keys from a lock box placed by the entrance door, allowing you to let yourselves in when you arrive.

 

CHECK-OUT

 

Check-out time is until 10:00. However, if you require a later check-out, kindly inform us before your arrival or during your stay, and we will do our best to fulfil your request, although we cannot guarantee it. Late check-outs are subject to availability and may be chargeable.

 

If a later check-out is not possible, you are welcome to leave your luggage at the Front Desk and collect it at a later time.

 

 

SPECIAL REQUESTS

 

We will make every effort to honour special requests such as a specific floor or room number, adjacent rooms, roll-away beds, etc. upon your arrival. However, the availability of these items cannot be guaranteed in advance.

 

 

LUGGAGE STORAGE

 

We offer complimentary luggage storage to guests who arrive before their room is ready or for those who have checked out but need to store their luggage until later in the day. To ensure that your luggage is stored safely, we kindly request that you arrange the storage with our staff during check-in or the day before your scheduled check-out. Please note that the Front Desk has limited hours, so it’s important to plan accordingly.

 

 

LOST AND FOUND

 

We are not responsible for any item left behind by a guest. However, any item, with the exception of perishable items, will be collected and kept in a secure location for collection by the owner for up to sixty (60) days. Perishable items, underwear, and miscellaneous toiletries will be discarded.

 

RETURN: We would gladly return your lost item(s) to you. To return your lost item(s), we will ship it to you once the postage fee has been paid. A separate receipt will be mailed to you. Viva Rooms is not responsible for any item lost or misdirected during shipment.

 

 

SECURITY

 

Each room is equipped with a safe deposit box that can fit a laptop, and instructions are provided for guests to use it if needed. While the staff and management take responsible measures to ensure the safety and security of guests and their belongings, it is ultimately the guests’ responsibility to ensure their own safety and to take care of their possessions.

 

 

PARKING

 

Because Viva Rooms is located in Ljubljana’s historical centre, a car-free zone, we do not own a parking area. However, parking is possible on the streets and parking spaces nearby.

 

Parking on the street costs 0,80-1,30 EUR per hour and it is free from 19:00 till 7:00. Please be aware that parking on the street must be renewed every 2 hours and cannot be paid in advance for an entire day.

 

To ensure a more comfortable stay, we recommend parking in one of the parking lots nearby. The cheapest public parking is 10 minutes from us (8,00 EUR/24h) – on Trg osvobodilne fronte street (by the main train/bus station).

 

There is also Union Hotel’s underground garage on Miklošičeva Street (across the street from us, approx. 20,00 EUR/day) and Tivoli I and Tivoli II (a 10-minute walk away, approx. 15,00 EUR/24h).

 

 

PETS

 

We are delighted to welcome you and your furry friend to our pet-friendly accommodation. Please note that we charge an additional fee of 10,00 EUR per pet per night, which covers the extra cleaning and effort required to prepare the room for the next guest. This is especially important as some guests may suffer from allergies. If you intend to bring a pet other than a dog or a cat, kindly send us an inquiry.

 

Please take note of the following guidelines regarding pets in our guestrooms:

 

  • Guests are fully responsible for any property damages caused by their pets.
  • To avoid disturbing other guests, please ensure that your pets are quiet and well-behaved. Any excessive barking or meowing should be curtailed.
  • For the safety of our staff, please do not leave your pets alone and unguarded in the room. Our service staff may need to enter the room.
  • To ensure the comfort and safety of your pets during room servicing, please contact the Front Desk to arrange a suitable time for housekeeping.

 

 

QUIET HOURS

 

Our rooms are situated in a building that houses other privately owned units. As such, we kindly request that you observe quiet hours between 22:00 and 8:00.

 

To maintain a peaceful environment, please keep the volume of your voices or other devices at a respectful low level at all times. Please open and close doors quietly. To ensure the safety and comfort of our guests and neighbours, we do not allow gatherings in the hallway, running on the staircase, parties, loud disturbances, or any other noise that may cause a nuisance. If there is a disturbance, we will give one polite warning to reduce the noise.

 

If our request is not followed, we may have to ask you to vacate the premises without a refund.

Bed linen is changed every fifth day if all personal items are removed from the bed. Housekeeping will be happy to change your bed linens sooner than every fifth day – please ask the Front Desk for service. We hope you will assist us in decreasing our environmental impact and water use by reusing towels as much as possible, however, if new towels are needed, please leave them on the floor of your room and we will replace them.

Our housekeeping staff, front desk staff, and management have the right to enter a guest’s room for reasonable purposes such as emergency situations, housekeeping, maintenance checks, verifying the room and its furnishings are intact, or to address or prevent a violation of our Guesthouse Policies.

 

 

 

PAYMENT METHODS AND POLICIES

 

ROOM RATES AND TOURIST TAX

 

The room rate includes accommodation and is exclusive of the tourist (city) tax, which is payable upon arrival. Additional amenities and services are available at an extra cost unless specified otherwise in our Special Offers terms.

 

All rates are quoted in Euro (EUR) currency. Rates may increase without notice. Rates as advertised on our website or any other website or promotional material are subject to change at any time and may increase or decrease at our guesthouse’s discretion.

 

The tourist tax is 3,13 EUR per person per night. Children aged 7-18 receive a 50% discount and pay 1,57 EUR per child per night. Children under 7 are exempt from the tourist tax.

 

 

PAYMENT METHOD: LEAVE YOUR CREDIT CARD DETAILS

 

Upon booking, no deposit will be charged. We will ask for your credit card details only as a guarantee, to perform a pre-authorisation anytime before the arrival date. You will pay the total cost of your reservation at our guesthouse, upon arrival. We accept the following payment methods on-site: cash, credit cards (Visa or MasterCard), and debit cards (Maestro, BA, Karanta).

 

  • GUARANTEED RESERVATIONS

    Pre-authorisation is a type of credit check. We use it to ensure that the credit card is valid and that there are sufficient funds to cover all or part of the reservation costs. With the pre-authorisation, the amount of the reservation is »held« as unavailable for a certain period. Please note that the pre-authorisation amount is not held by our property or by our authorising bank but it’s held on your card by your issuing bank. The amount is released automatically by the online payment processor after a maximum of 7 days. However, the actual release period can take anywhere longer. If the amount is not released within 10 days, you will need to contact your home issuing bank. No reservations shall be fully confirmed without a pre-authorisation as a proper guarantee. If you do not possess a credit card, we can alternatively prepare a pro forma invoice and send it to you via e-mail. In this case, the payment is made by bank transfer before your arrival.

  • OUTSTANDING BILLS

    Please note that we reserve the right and the guest authorises us to charge for any outstanding bills, even after the guest has checked out of our guesthouse and left the premises. In such cases, we may contact the guest to arrange payment or attempt to charge the credit card specified during booking.

 

 

PAYMENT METHOD: PAY TOTAL PRICE NOW

 

Payment of the full amount of the reservation will be completed in advance, at the time of booking. Upon arrival, you will be given an invoice for your stay.

 

  • NON-REFUNDABLE RESERVATIONS

    The advance payment does not include the tourist tax, which you will pay separately upon arrival.

 

 

CREDIT VOUCHER

 

Please note that all advance payments are final. Should you decide to cancel your booking and/or other related services within the penalty-free period, no refund shall be issued. Instead, our guesthouse will issue a Credit Voucher for you to use on future reservations. The Credit Voucher is valid for reservations made at any property managed by Burja Hotels. The Credit Voucher is valid up to 12 months from the date of issue.

 

 

 

CANCELLATION POLICY

Guests are advised to secure cancellation insurance with one of the insurance agencies as we do not refund when charged by the cancellation policy. This applies to all situations, also health.

 

 

THE RIGHT TO CANCEL A RESERVATION

 

Our Guesthouse reserves the right to cancel a reservation if a pre-authorisation has failed or the stated amount has not been paid within the agreed period (i.e. upon arrival or at the time of booking if the room has been booked at a Non-Refundable Rate). Exceptionally we can cancel the reservation for real reasons (for example: due to urgency, unpredictable repairs that prevent the unit from being used normally and safely, technical errors that occurred during the reservation process, the need to close the guesthouse or fraud or inaccurate data provided by the guest) or in a case of inappropriate behaviour of a potential guest.

 

 

FINAL PROVISIONS

 

DAMAGE TO PROPERTY AND MANAGEMENT’S RIGHTS

 

Burja Hotels is not responsible for any direct or indirect loss or damage to the guests’ property or personal injury that in any way occurs during the stay at Viva Rooms (except for personal guests’ injuries that occur directly from the company’s gross negligence). The total liability of Burja Hotels for damages does not exceed the value of the reservation amount.

 

If our guesthouse service has a disturbance or damage, we will do our best to eliminate it as soon as possible, and the guest is obliged to contribute to the elimination of the disorder or to minimize the damage. If the guest, his or her guests, or any person for whom they are responsible causes damage to our guesthouse or its exterior, the guest is fully responsible for that damage, our Guesthouse, however, disclaims any liability for damages that the guest might suffer in such a case.

 

In case of a breach of our Guesthouse Policies, we reserve the right to forbid entry, remove the guest from the room and guesthouse, and claim compensation for damage caused.
Our Guesthouse also reserves the right and the guest authorizes it, to charge the debit or credit submitted at the time of booking and/or check-in for any damage or theft of objects. The guest also certifies that he or she will not dispute the payment for damages or theft of objects with his or her bank/debit or credit card company.
