HOW TO BOOKHOW TO BOOK
We have designed a 3 step booking process, which consists of a search
and selection, eligibility check, and payment.
Search and Selection
On the landing page select the academic year that you would like to start your booking. Proceed to filter your search with specific requirements such as the period, location, type of room, monthly price, coliving capacity or vibes.
Your search may show options for you to choose from, if not, try being flexible on any of your requirements to increase the chances.
1.1 Academic year
It runs from September to the end of August of the following year. We make available the current academic year plus the following two. This translates into an availability for bookings of 3 years in the future.
1.2 Period
We have divided the academic year into 3 periods:
1st Semester, from September until the end of January.
2nd Semester, from February until the end of June.
Summer, which consists of July and August.
1.3 Location
Choose from a list where we manage residences only.
1.4 Type of room
Choose if you are interested in a bunk bed, twin, single or double bedroom, a suite or any other option available. Notice that your selection might be related to price.
1.5 Monthly price
From our database of residences, you would be able to see the minimum and the maximum value for a room, allowing you to filter your search with your own minimum and maximum within.
1.6 Coliving Capacity
Refers to the total amount of people that can occupy a residence permanently.
1.7 Vibes
It can be a Master's students only, a surf house, or maybe an artist's residence, all depending on what is available on our database.
Eligibility Check
After selecting a room, and before the payment, we ask you to fill a form with your details. This will be compared to previous bookings in the same residence in order to match your profile to bookings alike, therefore your request will be accepted, or rejected if it's not among the range allowed. If you are the first booking in the residence, you will be the setpoint for the future bookings.
We ask you to fill the form with your name, ID and permanent address, which are required for the issuance of the invoices and fulfilling national bureaucratic requests. We also ask your nationality, age, gender and academic or professional activity, in order to match your booking, accept or reject your request.
Payment
After you have gone through the eligibility check, if your request is accepted, you will be able to pay a deposit for each booking equivalent to one month. This means, one deposit per period.
Example:
I want to book a room for the 1st and 2nd semester, plus the summer. In other words, the whole academic year. The monthly fee for this room is 500€.
To confirm this booking, I would have to pay a month in advance for each period. 3 times 500€ equals 1500€.
In September, until the 5th calendar day, the monthly fee has to be paid.
