Booking and payment

Reservations made on this website are confirmed and paid by card, through Stripe. We don't take cash or bank transfer for direct bookings.

Once your booking is confirmed you'll receive an email with the address, how to get in, and our direct contact details.

A valid photo ID and credit card are required at check-in for every guest named on the booking.

Cancellation

We offer two rates, and the one you booked decides what happens if your plans change. It's shown on your confirmation email.

Standard rate

Free cancellation up to 7 days before arrival

Cancel within that window and you're refunded in full. From 7 days before arrival the booking becomes non-refundable — including not arriving, and leaving earlier than booked.

Non-refundable rate

A lower price, with no flexibility

These bookings cannot be cancelled, changed or refunded at any point, including no-shows and early departures.

If there's any chance your dates might move, book the standard rate.

To cancel, reply to your confirmation email or message us directly. We'll confirm the cancellation in writing — if you haven't heard back from us, assume it hasn't gone through.

Arrival and departure

Check-in15:00 – 00:30
Check-out05:00 – 11:00

There is no reception at the building. We arrange your arrival personally, so please tell us your expected arrival time in advance — by email, WhatsApp, or in the notes when you book. If your flight is delayed, message us; we'd rather know.

Early check-in and late check-out are sometimes possible and depend on the apartment being free. Just ask.

City tourist tax

Lisbon charges a municipal tourist tax of €4 per guest, per night, capped at 7 nights — from the eighth night onwards there's nothing more to pay, however long you stay.

The tax is set by the city, not by us. It is not included in the price you pay when booking, and is collected separately during your stay.

Children and extra beds

Children of any age are welcome.

0 – 5 yearsCot on request — free
6+ yearsExtra bed on request — €40 per person, per night

Children aged 6 and over count as adults when working out how many people an apartment sleeps.

Cots and extra beds are subject to availability and are paid during your stay rather than included in the booking total. Please ask for them when you book so we can confirm.

No security deposit

We don't take a security deposit and we don't pre-authorise your card. We ask only that you treat the apartment as you'd treat your own home, and tell us if something breaks — accidents happen, and we'd far rather hear about it than find it.

House rules

  • No smoking anywhere in the apartments — see 100% smoke-free below.
  • No parties or events. We don't accept hen, stag or similar group bookings.
  • Quiet hours are 22:00 to 09:00. These are residential buildings with neighbours who live here all year, and we ask guests to respect that. Televisions, voices and other devices should be kept low at all times, doors opened and closed quietly, and halls kept clear — no congregating or running. If another guest is being disruptive, tell us straight away.
  • No pets.

The apartment is yours for the dates booked, for the number of guests booked. If your party changes, please tell us beforehand.

100% smoke-free

Lisbon Rentals has been 100% smoke-free since 2007. For safety, and so that the apartments are never exposed to odours that are unhealthy, objectionable to other guests and staff, and hard to remove from the air, soft furnishings, walls and furniture, we do not permit any of the following anywhere on the property:

  • Smoking tobacco, marijuana or illegal drugs
  • E-cigarettes, vape pens, vaping and nicotine liquid cartridges
  • Hookahs, incense, cigars and candle burning
  • Using or diffusing patchouli oil, other strong-smelling plant-based essential oils, or synthetic equivalents

Please tell our staff immediately if you smell cigarette, marijuana or other objectionable odours. This policy is not intended to stop anyone from smoking, but to regulate where they smoke and how it affects others. Marijuana is prohibited at all times.

Visitors

No visitors after 22:00. Visitors must let our staff know when they arrive, and must be accompanied by the registered guest at all times. As the registered guest, you are responsible for your visitors throughout their stay on the property.

No in-room parties

We enforce a strict no-party policy so we can protect the building and the other guests. Parties, loud disturbances and noise nuisance are not permitted.

If there is a disturbance you will receive one polite request to reduce the noise. If that request is not followed, you will be asked to leave without a refund.

Non-registered visitors are permitted only until 22:00. If people who are not listed on the booking are found in the apartment after 22:00, the stay is treated as a party: you will be asked to vacate without a refund, and a guest disturbance fee of €250 may be charged.

Right to refuse service

Soccs — Lisbon Rentals Unipessoal is privately owned and operated. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone, for any reason that does not breach Portuguese law, and we operate a zero-tolerance policy.

We may refuse accommodation, or remove a guest without a refund, where a person:

  • Refuses or fails to pay for their accommodation
  • Is under the influence of alcohol, drugs or another intoxicating substance and behaves in a way that disturbs other guests
  • Behaves in a disorderly way that disturbs the peace of other guests
  • Is unable to supervise their children properly at all times
  • Seeks to use the property for an unlawful purpose
  • Brings in an unlawfully held firearm, or anything unlawful to possess that may endanger others, including explosive, hazardous or toxic substances
  • Destroys, damages or defaces the property, or threatens harm to it or to other guests
  • Causes or permits the maximum occupancy of the apartment to be exceeded
  • Refuses to abide by the reasonable standards and policies we set for the running of the property

No-show charges

If you do not check in on the arrival date of a booking guaranteed with a card, a no-show fee is charged to that card. You are charged the full reservation amount plus taxes, and the remainder of the booking is cancelled.

Damage to the apartment

You are liable for any damage caused — deliberately, negligently or recklessly — to the apartment, the building or its contents, by you or by anyone in your party, whether or not they are staying with us.

We may retain the card details given at booking and charge that card for the cost of putting right any such damage, including property damage, missing or damaged items, specialist cleaning and compensation to other guests. Where damage only comes to light after you have left, you authorise us to charge the same card. We will always try to rectify damage ourselves before bringing in a specialist, to keep any cost to you as low as possible.

  • Damage found after check-out. Apartments left strewn with waste, in complete disorder or otherwise trashed are subject to a deep-cleaning fee, an administration fee, and any third-party costs.
  • Fixtures, furnishings and equipment. Damage to or removal of electronic equipment, towels, artwork and similar is charged at 120% of the full new replacement value, plus shipping and handling. In extreme cases we will pursue criminal charges.
  • Mattresses and bedding. Damage to mattresses, mattress pads, sheets, bedspreads, blankets and towels from body oils, make-up, shoe polish and the like is charged at the cost of specialist cleaning, repair or replacement.

Fire detection and safety equipment

We take action against any guest or visitor who tampers with or interferes with fire detection or fire-fighting equipment anywhere in the building — detector heads in the apartments and common areas, break-glass points and extinguishers included.

Anyone who does so is charged the full cost we incur as a result and is evicted. Depending on how serious it is, we may involve the authorities. If it comes to light after you have left, you authorise us to charge the card given at booking.

Lost and found

We accept no liability for valuables or belongings that are lost, misplaced, stolen or damaged. If you realise you have left something behind, call us straight away and we will do our best to help you find it.

Anything found after your departure, other than perishable items, is logged and held securely for 14 days for collection by its owner. We make reasonable efforts to let the guest know an item has been found. Perishable items, underwear and miscellaneous toiletries are discarded. Records of lost and found items are kept for five years.

Changes to this policy

We may amend, modify, cancel or add to this policy, and to the arrangements and content on our website, at any time and without prior notice. Please check this page for updates. Any change made before your departure forms part of your booking agreement with us. A copy of this policy is on our website and available from our staff on request.
