We are not liable for lost/stolen items. Items left behind are held for 24 hours only Any disruptive or unsafe behavior may result in removal without refund 7. Bed bugs prevention We take all reasonable steps to monitor for and eradicate bed bugs. Certain countries (e.g. France) are hard hit with infestations and we are careful to monitor all beds after check out for signs of bugs. We also routinely preventatively treat rooms. However, despite our best efforts bugs are brought into our hostel/home by guests e.g. in their luggage and this results in bugs in rooms. In the event they are discovered we will close off the relevant rooms and treat effectively before reopening. In the unlikely event that you see signs of bed bugs we ask you to report your issue to reception immediately so we can investigate and take appropriate rapid action. The guest will then be offered 2 options: (1) A move to another room; (2) A refund for that night onwards if the guest declines the room move and elects to check out early (note there must be evidence of bugs confirmed by SJB for a refund) Please note that a guest cannot be refunded for days they have already stayed with us. Similarly, any guest that raises concerns after they have checked out will not be refunded. 8. Personal Data We handle your personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy. By booking with us, you agree to its terms.
