We do not have any responsibility to compensate you for any personal injury, illness, death, loss or damage of whatever nature suffered by you or any member of your party during the booking period or thereafter.

Accuracy of Information

We always take a great deal of care to work with our owners´ to make sure that the information and photography contained in this website to the best of our knowledge is correct. However all our villas are privately-owned and therefore from time to time owners may make changes in their homes to details like decoration, furniture and fittings. All information supplied by Turkish Villa Rental is given in good faith and is based upon information available at the time. All reasonable measures have been taken to ensure accuracy, but Turkish Villa Rental and their representatives are not liable for any variation however caused.

In the unlikely event that you have a complaint about the villa or its contents whilst on holiday, it must be reported immediately to the local villa manaement company who will take reasonable steps to resolve the matter on behalf and in liaison with the owner of the property. Neither Turkish Villa Rental or their representatives shall have any liability for any complaint submitted after the completion of the hire period.  Subjective opinions are not considered as a complaint, for example complaining that the beds are not comfortable. This may be one person’s opinion but not the opinion of someone else.  If a hirer chooses to leave a rental over a subjective issue they must take responsibility for their decision as no refund will be considered in this situation.

It is a condition of booking that travel insurance is taken out against cancellation and it is strongly recommended that personal accident and medical insurance is also taken out. By completing the booking form the hirer acknowledges that it is their responsibility to take out travel insurance, should any circumstances beyond the control of Turkish Villa Rental or the property owner spoil the hirer’s holiday
