Description of the service
Hidden Hills provides accommodation by renting the property as a whole, for a maximum of 10 people, for the confirmed period. A booking may also be made for a smaller number of people, including for two, without the property being shared with other guests.
The facilities and services included are those shown on the website and in the booking confirmation. Images are for presentation purposes, and minor differences arising from the season, from maintenance or from the replacement of individual items do not affect the nature of the service, provided its essential characteristics are maintained.
Availability and booking
The availability displayed is managed through Smoobu and synchronised with external channels. A booking is considered confirmed only once the payment conditions have been met and written confirmation has been received by email or through the booking system.
The Client is required to enter complete and correct details, including the period, the number of adults, the number of children, the contact details and the information needed for invoicing or for the tourist register, as applicable.
Rates and costs
The applicable rate is the one displayed in the booking flow at the time of confirmation. Before payment, the Client must be able to see clearly the period, the number of nights, the number of guests, the rate, any mandatory charges, the deposit and the total amount.
Rates may vary according to the season, weekends, public holidays, the length of the stay and the rate conditions. Subsequent changes do not affect bookings already confirmed, except for changes requested by the Client and accepted by Hidden Hills.
Payment
Payment may be made by the methods shown during the booking process, including online card payment through Stripe, integrated into Smoobu, and/or bank transfer, where offered.
Hidden Hills does not receive or store the full card number or the CVV code. Payment data is processed by the authorised processor, in accordance with its own terms and policies.
Booking confirmation
The booking becomes firm at the time indicated in the confirmation sent to the Client, once the payment or the deposit provided for by the selected offer has been recorded. The Client must check immediately the period, the number of guests, the contact details and the amount paid, and must report any errors without delay.
Amendment, cancellation, no-show and refund
The exact cancellation, amendment, no-show and refund policy must be displayed before payment and included in the booking confirmation.
For accommodation services provided on a specific date or during a specific period, the general 14-day right of withdrawal may be excluded by the applicable legislation. This exception does not replace the cancellation policy communicated to the Client.
Capacity and the people accommodated
The maximum capacity is 10 people. The property and its facilities may be used only by the people declared and confirmed in the booking. The Client is responsible for the accuracy of the number and the identity of the guests notified.
Visitors
Access for people not included in the booking is permitted only with the prior approval of the Hidden Hills team. The total capacity of 10 people may not be exceeded.
Check-in and check-out
Check-in begins at 4:00 PM and is carried out in person. A member of the team welcomes the guests, hands over the key and gives the essential information about the property.
Check-out must be completed by 11:00 AM. Requests for an earlier arrival or a later departure are considered subject to availability only and must be confirmed in writing.
Assistance during the stay
A member of the Hidden Hills team remains available to assist. Technical problems, incidents or situations that may affect safety or comfort must be reported immediately, so that we can respond as quickly as possible.
Facilities and consumables

Quiet hours are 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM, during which noise, loud music and any activity liable to disturb the quiet are not permitted.
Children and supervision
Children must be supervised by an adult at all times, in particular near the pool, the pond, the stairs, the terraces, the fireplace, the barbecue and any areas with changes in level.

Five private parking spaces are available beside the villa. Vehicles must be parked in the designated places, without blocking the private road and without parking on the lawns.
Force majeure and circumstances beyond the parties' control

Complaints
Any problem that can be remedied during the stay must be reported to the Hidden Hills team immediately. Subsequent complaints may be sent to contact@hiddenhills.ro, together with the booking details and a description of the situation.
