RENTALS

FeelHome D.M. Israel LTD (trading as "FeelHome") advertises apartments ('properties') as an advisor for and on behalf of the Owners of the property ('Owner'). All properties have been personally inspected by FeelHome to ensure that they meet the high standards of accommodation on which FeelHome's reputation is based. At the time of publishing, the properties are furnished and equipped as described in the detailed and technical descriptions provided to renters and guests ('Clients') on the Company's web site. From time to time the Owners of properties may change the layout, furniture or fittings and the Company will seek to update these on the website at the earliest opportunity and notify renters if the changes to the property change the nature of the accommodation. Differences between the description and photos on the website and those actually found at the property do not constitute a basis for cancellation, refunds or other claims against the Company. The Company will not be liable to Clients in the event of changes made to a property by the Owner and not notified to it, however the Company will intervene on the renters behalf in the event the quality of the property is diminished as a result of such changes.

Prices and seasons published on the Company's website are indicative and subject to variation without notice prior to the confirmation of a booking. A quote will be provided at the time of inquiry and the confirmation of the booking will occur when the advance payment of 50% of the total rent has been paid and the confirmation of booking form is issued. The base currency of referral is the NIS, shekels and values in other currencies published on the Company's websites are based on current interbank rates and provided for comparative purposes only.

Rental prices include nightly rate of the property and such other inclusions that are listed in the special notes for each property listed under the price list in the property pages. 

PAYMENTS

The booking is not confirmed until you have received a confirmation from FeelHome. A pre-payment of 50% of the rental price is payable on booking and confirmation will not be effected until the whole of the pre-payment has been received. The Company will not enter into correspondence in the event that the pre-payment is not receivedwithin the hold period and the property is allocated to another Client; however the Company will do its utmost to find a replacement property acceptable to the Client.
The balance of rental must be paid at arrival (check-in). Non payment of the balance by the due date will constitute basis for cancellation and the property will be re-offered and cancellation conditions applied.

Payment by credit card are are not subject to any commission. Alternatively payments may be made, without surcharge, also by direct debit into the Company's international account or Company's PayPal account. 

** The final price refers to guests visiting Israel on a tourist visa (B2/B3/B4). Israeli passport holders, or guests who don't present a copy of their border control pass and passport, will be charged an additional 17% VAT.



CANCELLATION POLICY

Cancellation is effected by the Client when written notification is acknowledged to have been received by Feelhome or, in the event of non payment of balances. Cancellation charges are based on the total rental price and are calculated from the date of the booking of the rental as follows:

- If you cancel the reservation earlier than 1 month before the day of arrival, the penalty will be 20% of the total amount of the reservation.
- From 1 month to 2 weeks before the day of arrival, the penalty will be 50% of the total amount of the reservation.
- If cancellation occurred less than 14 days before the day of arrival, the penalty will be 100% of the total amount of the reservation.
- In case of no-show, a penalty of 100% of the total amount of the reservation will be charged.

Please note that above this cancellation policy does not apply in the case of full advanced payment of the rent. In this case, the payment is not refundable. 

Changes to booking dates, or properties constitute an extra fee (subject to availability). 
Clients are strongly advised to take out adequate insurance to ensure that they are protected from unforeseen events which may give rise to cancellations. 

HOUSE SUBSTITUTION

If as a result of a serious breakdown or failure in the rented property, FeelHome Israel or the Owners decide that it is not possible to continue with the booking, the Company will do its utmost to find a replacement property acceptable to the Client, or refund any moneys paid on unused rental. The Client acknowledges that in this event, the Company's liability for damages will be limited to the amount of unused rental, based on a pro rata calculation of unused rental days. Should a property become unserviceable prior to the arrival of a Client, the Company will do its best to find a suitable replacement property of an equal standard. In the event of a more expensive property being selected, Clients will have the choice of paying the difference or receiving a full refund of moneys paid.

ARRIVALS AND CONDUCT

Following the final payment, Clients will be issued an accommodation voucher and arrival instructions for the property. In the weeks leading up to the arrival the Company will request details of the expected arrival time, method of transport, names of all guests and any additional requirements. FeelHome Israel will endeavor to accommodate out of hours or late arrivals. More info about check-ins & arrivals.

The rental voucher provided at the time of payment of the balance is not transferable and must be presented to the local representative at the time of arrival in order to gain entry to the property. The Client acknowledges that the following circumstances provide the Owner or the Company with a basis for the immediate termination of the rental agreement without recourse by the Client and forfeiting all moneys paid to the Company:

  • Exceeding the maximum number of guests as noted on the voucher;
  • Non authorised substitution of guests - the names and passport details of all guests must be provided to the property representative (to comply with Israeli Law)
  • Conduct unbecoming at the property (including wanton destruction of property, poor hygiene, excessive noise etc)
  • Parties, weddings, celebrations unauthorized or involving non guests
  • Introducing domestic animals (unless allowed in the property notes and advised to the Company)


The Client acknowledges that there will be no redress against the Company or the Owner in the event that these events cause premature termination of the rental.

DAMAGE AND UTILITIES FEE

A non-refundable fee is charged upon arrival to cover potential damages and utilities bills during the guest's stay, for an amount up to ten times (10x) the fee.
The property manager reserves the right to use the fee to cover repair, replacement, or additional utilities charges resulting from the guest’s stay.
If damages or utilities extra expenses exceed the amount covered (ten times the fee), the guest is liable for the additional costs.
The fee is non-refundable, regardless of whether damages or utilities extra expenses occur.
