Website Pictures

The pictures on our website are taken at different times to when you arrive, and the accommodations offered frequently evolve and change. For many riads you will book a specific room, and if there is a change you should be given that room. Occasionally there may have to be a change due to unforeseen circumstances. In that case, if the room is of a higher quality, there will be no extra charge, but if, unfortunately, you are housed in an inferior room we will refund the difference in cost between the two rooms. Similarly for some riads, the picture shown on the photograph may represent a class of room (superior or standard), and you may be accommodated in a different room. We will always accommodate you in the same standard of room that you have booked or higher. We try to be as accurate as possible in our descriptions and photographs but reserve the right to make such changes.

Exclusion of Liability

The Company cannot accept liability for causes of dissatisfaction, which are not notified by the client within 10 days of the completion of the holiday.
