We would like to point out that commercial securities and checks from countries other than Belgium are not accepted as a means of payment.

§ 3 - Guarantee

The deposit must be paid to Holiday Suites prior to arrival. Payments of the guarantees are made by bank transfer to the account number listed on the guarantee document, which will be transferred to the Renter by Holiday Suites.


The guarantee is determined according to the conditions communicated with the offer and/or invoice. With it, damages may be paid to Holiday Suites, to which the client agrees. In the absence of funds for the payment of damages, the client must systematically supplement this deposit. The deposit or the remaining amount after payment of damages, will be released only at final check-out after inspection of the accommodation by Holiday Suites.

At the end of the rental period – and this within 3 weeks – the deposit (or the remaining deposit minus expenses incurred for damages) will be refunded by Holiday Suites to the customer’s account by wire transfer. To ensure prompt refunding of the deposit, it is important that Holiday Suites is in possession of an IBAN and SWIFT/BIC code at the time of booking.

It is hereby agreed that this interest will be calculated on the invoiced amount including VAT. In case of debt collection, a fixed administrative fee of 15% of the amounts owed becomes due.

If the client does not pay the amount within the stipulated period, the reservation will be considered cancelled as a result. In this case, any down payment shall be considered part of the compensation.

Holiday Suites will send an invoice in advance per (group) reservation.

§ 2 - Means of payment

All payments are made by bank transfer to the account number of the relevant Holiday Suites company (as indicated on the invoice). Bank fees charged for payment of invoices are the responsibility of the customer. Per exception and subject to Holiday Suites approval, payment can be made via a payment link provided by Holiday Suites. For this, however, a surcharge of 2.5% is applied to the full amount. We would like to point out that trading securities and checks from countries other than Belgium are not accepted as means of payment.

§ 3 - Guarantee

The deposit must be paid to Holiday Suites prior to arrival. Payments of the guarantees are made by bank transfer to the account number listed on the guarantee document, which will be transferred to the Renter by Holiday Suites.

The guarantee is determined according to the conditions communicated with the offer and/or invoice. With it, damages may be paid to Holiday Suites, to which the client agrees. In the absence of funds for the payment of damages, the client must systematically supplement this deposit. The deposit or the remaining amount after payment of damages, will be released only at final check-out after inspection of the accommodation by Holiday Suites.

At the end of the rental period – and this within 3 weeks – the deposit (or the remaining deposit minus expenses incurred for damages) will be refunded by Holiday Suites to the customer’s account by wire transfer. To ensure prompt refunding of the deposit, it is important that Holiday Suites is in possession of an IBAN and SWIFT/BIC code at the time of booking.

§ 4 - Taxes and charges

VAT, as well as other taxes and charges depend on the location of Holiday Suites and are subject to change upon request from local authorities.

The negotiated rates include VAT. These will be invoiced by Holiday Suites to the renter. If the applicable VAT rate, included in the negotiated rate, increases or decreases after the conclusion of this agreement, the rates applied by Holiday Suites to the renter will be adjusted.

The VAT rate applied will be the rate in effect on the date of issue of the invoice.

§ 5 - Non-payment

In case of non-payment of invoices within the contractually agreed term, a first reminder will be sent. If these invoices remain unpaid again, conventional interest will become payable at the reference interest rate increased by 8% as referred to in Article 5, second paragraph, of the Law of August 2, 2022 on combating late payment in commercial transactions. It is hereby agreed that this interest will be calculated on the invoiced amount including VAT. In case of debt collection, a flat administrative fee of 15% of the amounts due becomes payable. Any incident of payment with another Holiday Suites residence in the Holiday Suites Group may result in termination of this contract, without the client being entitled to claim compensation.

§ 6 - Modification of billing or payment arrangements.

Any request for changes to the billing-payment terms stated under this article must be submitted to Holiday Suites for formal approval, in a timely manner and in writing, and may result in a file management fee supplement.
