Booking conditions

Your contract is done with Abenteuer Albanien SH.P.K., known as Nomad Island for commercial purposes. The person signing the booking form must read and accept these Booking Conditions. At the time of booking or at check-in, we will take your credit/debit card details, and you authorize the use of this card for any sums that become owing to us.  We also have the right to require full payment in advance or a deposit at the time of booking in certain circumstances or if the booking includes the supply of certain items or services.  No Booking shall be treated as confirmed until the details and/or payment/deposit described in this paragraph have been provided. We reserve the right to refuse to accept bookings at our absolute discretion. Please inform us immediately if there are any discrepancies in the costs or details of your booking. A minimum length of stay, deposit, cancellation charge and other conditions may apply to certain rates. Price lists for additional items are available on request.

Your stay may be paid in cash in EUR or LEK. Credit or Debit Card payments will incur a 4% transaction fee.

If the guest doesn’t pay for the stay upon check-in, the booking will be cancelled and the deposit will not be returned. Nomad Island has the right to cancel a person’s place on the course if full payment is not received punctually.

Cancellation policy

  • If the guest cancels more than four weeks before the arrival date, 100% of the deposit will be refunded.
  • If the guest cancels within four to two weeks before the arrival date, the deposit is non-refundable. If the original booking is modified and shortened less than two weeks before arrival, cancelled days will be charged.
  • If the guest cancels less than two weeks before the arrival date, full payment of the booking will be required. If the guest arrives and decides to leave earlier than scheduled, in the case of a no-show or cancels the booking after the arrival date, full payment will be required as well.

The information above may be requested for each member of your party over the age of 16, and we reserve the right to refuse entry to persons who cannot provide the information set out above.

Your booking is for a class of room and does not guarantee that you will be able to stay in a specific room or in the same room for the duration of your stay. If you have indicated a preference for a particular room with your reservation, we will use our reasonable efforts to honour this preference. However, we may need to allocate an alternative room to you for operational or safety reasons. If we need to move you to a different room during your booking for which a lower rate is available than the rate you booked at, we will refund you the difference in the rates.

Nomad Island reserves the right to refuse to further accommodate hosts behaving irresponsibly, and contractual obligations will be terminated. The guilty party will be liable for the cost of any damage caused. Where this is the case shall have no obligation to refund you for lost accommodation, other services or any other loss or expense incurred.

Nomad Island accepts no responsibility for loss, theft or damage to persons or property during their stay. We reserve the right, and you hereby authorize us, to charge your credit or debit card for any damage incurred to your room or the building during your stay (including without limitation specialist cleaning) or for any items that are missing when you leave.

At certain times, facilities may become unavailable due to maintenance, adverse weather conditions or other reasons beyond our control.  We will attempt to keep all guests informed of these circumstances, however, this may not always be possible.

Guests are not permitted to smoke in rooms or inside the house.

The company accepts no liability and will not pay any compensation where the performance of its obligations is prevented or affected directly or indirectly by or as a result of force majeure or any circumstances beyond its reasonable control including, but not limited to, flood, earthquake, extreme adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, acts of terrorism, fire or failure of electric power, interruption or malfunctioning internet connection, gas, water, or other utility services, plant machinery, computers, vehicles or any collapse of building structures.

The contract and any non-contractual obligations arising in connection with it are governed by Albanian law. Each party irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or later have to proceedings being brought in the Albanian courts in Tirana, Albania.

Room type. You acknowledge that you are booking a room/bed by type, not a specific unit. Following the booking, Nomad Island will place you in a specific unit based on information gathered in the booking process.
