T&Cs

Please carefully read our terms and conditions (T&Cs) before booking

Butterfly Services /Dubrovnik Chic Rentals ('BSL' or 'we') acts as a representative, offering holiday rentals on behalf of property owners. Your contract is between you and the owner. All the properties we propose have been visited by us and carefully selected.
We understand these are uncertain times and we want to be as flexible as possible, enabling you to book with confidence

Cancellation due to travel restrictions or health issue will be free of charge if cancelled up to 14 days before the date of your stay for most of our properties*.  A credit note equivalent to the deposit paid will be issued to use within the next 12 months. 

We would like to reassure you that we are taking care of our guests and team, being consistent with our already high standards of hygiene and cleanliness, and implementing additional measures based on the guidelines given by local health authorities.

We 're available to answer any of your questions and doubts concerning your upcoming trip or a future reservation. Contact us at reservation@dubrovnikchicrentals.com or if you prefer to talk to us, call us at 00 385 99 42 42 442.


*  Villas and some properties in our portfolio have stricter change and cancellation terms that differ from those in our standard T&Cs. These will be highlighted to you before you book

The above information is correct as at 23.11.2023. We reserve the right to change our policies in light of new information or travel restrictions.
If you booked at least 2 days before travelling, please email us at contact@butterflyservices.hr with your:

  • arrival time, flight number to arrange your check-in
  • If your flight is delayed or cancelled while en route, you are required to contact us so that we can notify everyone involved
  • Key collection depends on the property's owner. (We will send you information with the booking confirmation.)
  • We will also give you BS's contact phone numbers in case you need anything (even advice) during your vacation.
  • The availability calendars are based upon information we receive from property owners.
  • It is possible that a situation may arise where a property reserved is not available.
  • In this case, we will offer you the choice of a full refund of your booking deposit or alternative accommodation of a similar quality and price.
  • We cannot be held responsible for any errors caused by a property owner's failure to provide us with up-to-date information.
A 3-night minimum stay is usually required. Shorter stays may be accepted at a 20-30 per cent higher price.
  • Once you have selected a property and completed the booking form, BSL requires a non-refundable deposit to secure the booking.
  • This deposit varies by rental property but is usually 20-30 per cent of the total reservation amount. The reservation deposit should be paid via credit card. In rare cases, BSL accepts a bank transfer.
  • Please note that the booking will not be confirmed until BSL has received the pre-payment amount and you have received a confirmation email and voucher from BSL.
  • The remaining balance of the reservation is usually due IN CASH upon arrival. 
  • Because they are privately owned properties, it is usually not possible to pay the balance by credit card upon arrival. If you would like to pay in advance, please let us know as some owners will accept a bank transfer.
  • In rare cases, the property owner requires payment 4-8 weeks prior to your arrival. This information will be clearly indicated on the property profile for you to check.
  • All cancellations and any change requests to your reservation (such as date changes or changes in the number of people) must be made IN WRITING. There will be no refunds granted for late arrivals or premature departures.
  • Guests who abandon their property without permission from BSL agree they have no rights to compensation.

A credit note will be issued to use within the next 12 months.
