Payment terms will depend on the selected rate and the specific conditions accepted by the customer during the booking process.
5.1. Prepaid rates
The establishment may send a secure payment link to the email address provided by the customer during the booking process.
The corresponding amount must be paid within the period indicated in the booking conditions.
Failure to pay within the established period shall entitle the establishment to cancel the booking automatically, in accordance with section 5.4.

The full amount of the booking will be charged at the time indicated during the booking process.
BeSafe rates include travel insurance provided by an external insurance company.
Once the booking is confirmed, the guest will receive at the email address provided the policy documents, its coverage, exclusions and the procedure for handling incidents, cancellations or refund requests covered by the insurance.
Any enquiry, claim, procedure or request relating to the policy must be made directly with the insurance company, in accordance with the general and specific conditions of the insurance purchased.
Hostal Moscatel does not take part in assessing or settling claims, which is the responsibility of the insurer, without prejudice to any liability that may legally correspond to the establishment.
5.3. Group bookings
A group booking is any booking of two or more rooms, made jointly or through separate bookings corresponding to the same group of travellers.
Group bookings are subject to the following conditions:
50 %
To confirm a group booking, an advance payment of 50 % of the total cost of the stay is required.
7 days
The remaining 50 % must be paid no later than 7 days before the arrival date.
The deposit shall be non-refundable in the event of total or partial cancellation by the customer, provided that this condition has been expressly communicated and accepted during the booking process.
For bookings made less than seven days in advance, the establishment may require full payment at the time of booking.
Changes. Any change to the number of rooms, arrival or departure dates, length of stay or number of guests shall be subject to availability and express acceptance by the establishment.
Bookings of three or more rooms. Bookings of three or more rooms require the prior and express authorisation of Hostal Moscatel.
The establishment may cancel bookings of three or more rooms made through the online booking system without such authorisation, even when they have been made through separate transactions corresponding to the same group of travellers, provided that this restriction was communicated before booking and the customer’s legally recognised rights are respected.
In such cases, the cancellation will be communicated to the booking holder and any amounts paid will be refunded in full.
The specific conditions for group bookings shall prevail over the general conditions for individual rates when they have been duly communicated and accepted during the booking process.
5.4. Automatic cancellation for non-payment
The customer must make the payments for their booking within the periods established in the specific conditions of the rate booked.
Failure to meet any of these deadlines shall entitle Hostal Moscatel to cancel the booking automatically, without further notice, provided that the customer was informed of this condition in advance during the booking process and the applicable legal requirements are respected.
Cancellation for non-payment will release the reserved rooms, which may be made available to other customers again.
Any amounts previously paid shall be subject to the cancellation and refund conditions expressly accepted at the time of booking, in all cases in accordance with the applicable consumer protection regulations.
5.5. General provisions
All payments must be made using the methods enabled or expressly authorised by the establishment.
Additional services booked during the stay or after the booking must be paid in accordance with the conditions communicated for each service.
Requesting an additional service does not imply its confirmation until the establishment has expressly agreed to provide it and, where applicable, the required payment has been made.
6.Cancellations and changes
The cancellation and modification conditions shall be those expressly accepted by the customer during the booking process.
Each rate may establish specific conditions regarding:
- Free cancellation up to a certain date.
- Penalties for late cancellation.
- Non-refundable conditions.
- Changes to dates or length of stay.
- Penalties for no-shows.
Cancellations shall be subject to the deadlines and penalties indicated in the booking confirmation.

Cancellations with refund and changes are not permitted unless the specific conditions or applicable regulations provide otherwise. For BeSafe rates, the customer must deal directly with the insurer for any request covered by their policy.
If the customer fails to arrive on the scheduled arrival date, the penalty established in the rate booked will apply.
Changes to bookings shall be subject to availability and to the commercial conditions in force at the time of the request.
7.Right of withdrawal
In accordance with Article 103(l) of Spanish Royal Legislative Decree 1/2007, the fourteen-day right of withdrawal does not apply to contracts for accommodation services for specific dates or periods of performance, where the accommodation is booked for purposes other than residential use.
Consequently, cancellations shall be governed by the specific conditions of the rate booked and by the rights recognised under applicable law.
8.Guest registration and minors
All guests must identify themselves and provide the information required by current guest registration regulations, including Spanish Royal Decree 933/2021.

Minors
As a condition of admission, Hostal Moscatel establishes that guests under 18 may only stay if accompanied throughout their stay by their father, mother or duly accredited legal guardian.
Minors travelling alone or accompanied only by other adults who do not hold such legal status will not be admitted.
Failure to comply with this condition may result in accommodation being refused or the booking being terminated, with the contractually agreed financial consequences applying to the extent permitted by current legislation.
This condition must be expressly communicated before the booking is completed, without prejudice to consumers’ legally recognised rights and the applicable non-discrimination obligations.
