Terms & Conditions

Please read them carefully as they set out our respective rights and obligations.

In the Booking Conditions, “you” and “your” means all persons named on the booking (including anyone who is added or substituted at a later date and anyone staying or visiting you at the apartment who is not named). “We” and “us” means Zen Apartments. All bookings are made subject to these booking conditions.

1. Making your booking

Bookings can be made by completing the online booking form at zenapartments.co.uk and following the on-screen instructions or by contacting us direct via email or by telephone.

Once we have received your booking form and booking deposit, we will, subject to availability, confirm your stay by issuing a confirmation invoice by email. If you have made the booking and paid directly, you should receive the email confirmation at the same time, which was generated automatically. The invoice will be sent to the main person. Please check this invoice carefully as soon as you receive it. Contact us immediately if any information which appears on the confirmation or any other document appears to be incorrect or incomplete as it may not be possible to make changes later. We regret we cannot accept any liability if we are not notified of any inaccuracies in any document within 3 working days of our sending it out.

2. Payment


For all bookings of less than 30 nights in duration, full payment are required for us to be able to confirm the booking back to you unless it is 3 days cancellation booking.

For bookings of 30 nights and more, each month for the duration of the booking, an invoice will be raised not less than one week before the start of each month. For corporate bookings we may be able to agree credit terms, which would need to be agreed prior to any booking being confirmed.

3. Security Deposit

You must pay a security deposit of £ 200 at the time of arrival by Bank Transfer or card(surcharge for payment by card may apply). The cost of any damage to the property or to any items in and/or at the property caused or any service charges incurred by you or any member of your party will be deducted by us from the security deposit at the end of your stay. If no deductions are required your security deposit will be refunded in full to you within 7 days after your departure from the property. If the security deposit is not sufficient to cover any damage caused or service charges incurred by you, you will be responsible for paying us any additional monies required immediately on request from us.

4. Refund

Customer will get full refund if they cancel 3 days prior to their arrival, unless they book non-refundable booking

5. Your contract

A binding contract between us comes into existence when we despatch our confirmation invoice to the main person. This contract and all matters arising out of it are governed by English law. We both agree that any dispute arising out of or in connection with your stay will be dealt with by the Courts of England.

6. The cost of your stay

We reserve the right to increase or decrease the prices of accommodation at any time. Please note, the information and prices shown on our website may have changed by the time you come to book your stay. The price of your stay will be confirmed at the time of booking, subject to the correction of errors. We reserve the right to correct errors in advertised prices as well as confirmed prices. We will do so as soon as we become aware of the error. Please note, changes and errors may occasionally occur. You must check the price of your stay at the time of booking.

7. Changes and cancellation by us

Occasionally, we have to make changes to and correct errors on our website descriptions and other details both before and after bookings have been confirmed and cancel confirmed bookings. Whilst we always endeavour to avoid changes and cancellations, we must reserve the right to do so.

If we have to make a significant change to or cancel your booking, we will inform you as soon as possible. We will endeavour to offer you an alternative should a significant change or cancellation occur.

We regret we cannot pay any expenses, costs or losses incurred by you as a result of any change or cancellation.

Very rarely, we may be forced by “force majeure” (see clause 9) to change or terminate your stay after arrival but before the scheduled end of your tenancy. This is extremely unlikely but if this situation does occur, we regret we will be unable to make any refunds, pay you any compensation or meet any costs or expenses you incur as a result.

8. Force Majeure

We regret we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where the performance or prompt performance of our contractual obligations is prevented or affected by or you otherwise suffer any damage or loss as a result of “force majeure”. In these Booking Conditions, “force majeure” means any event which we or the supplier of the service(s) in question could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid. Such events may include war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, actual or threatened terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, local building works, act of nature, fire and all similar events outside our control.

9. Our Liability to you

9.1. We promise to provide your accommodation with reasonable skill and care. We do not accept responsibility if any death, personal injury, failure or deficiency of your accommodation arrangements is not caused by any fault of ours. When we talk about “fault” above, this means failure by ourselves to use reasonable skill and care in performing or providing the service in question. Please note it is your responsibility to show that reasonable skill and care has not been used if you wish to make a claim.

We will not be responsible for any injury, illness, death, loss (for example loss of enjoyment), damage, expense, cost or other sum or claim of any description whatsoever which results from any of the following:

the fault of the person(s) affected or any member(s) of their party or

the fault of a third party not connected with the provision of your accommodation by us which we could not have predicted or avoided or an event or circumstance which could not have predicted or avoided even after taking all reasonable care (see clause 9 ) swimming pool/gym (attached)

In addition, we will not be responsible where you do not enjoy your stay or suffer any problems because of a reason you did not tell us about when you booked your stay or where any problems you suffer did not result from any breach of our contract or another fault of ourselves or any losses, expenses, costs or other sum you have suffered relate to any business.

Please note, we cannot accept responsibility for any services that do not form part of our contract. This includes, for example, any additional services or facilities any other supplier agrees to provide for you.

There is a swimming pool at Discovery Dock property – it is your responsibility for safety and well being of any children or adult using the pool. Supervision is recommended. Tiles around the swimming pool and on patio areas may become wet and slippery, so please be careful and use necessary due care. Alike all holiday destinations, it is possible that local building works may occur from time to time (see clause 9); we cannot accept liability for possible disruption or noise, but if we are aware of any building work/s we will inform you before hand where possible and in these circumstances, please accept our apologies should this occur.

9.2. The details about the accommodation we have agreed to provide or arrange as part of our contract – and the laws and regulations of the country in which your claim or complaint occurred – will be used as the basis for deciding whether the accommodation in question had been properly provided. If the particular accommodation which gave rise to the claim or complaint complied with local laws and regulations applicable to those accommodation at the time, the accommodation will be treated as having been properly provided. This will be the case even if the accommodation did not comply with the laws and regulations of the UK which would have applied had that accommodation been provided in the UK.

10. Complaints and problems

In the unlikely event that you have any reason to complain or experience any problems with your stay whilst away, you must immediately inform us. Any verbal notification must be put in writing and given to us as soon as possible. Until we know about a problem or complaint, we cannot begin to resolve it. Most problems can be dealt with quickly. For all complaints and claims which do not involve death, personal injury or illness, we regret we cannot accept liability if you fail to notify the complaint or claim entirely in accordance with this clause.

11. Behaviour

You accept responsibility for any damage or loss caused by you or any member of your party. Full payment for any such damage or loss must be paid direct to us at the time.
