Booking >> House Rules

Seasonaires® holidays are built around meeting new people and sharing new experiences during the season. There are a few basic rules and courtesies that allow everyone to enjoy their holiday to the fullest, in a safe and pleasant environment.
Each rule is followed up by a description of why that particular rule is in place. As you will see when you read through they are all there for your own comfort and safety.
Please acquaint yourself fully with the house rules below. Should you have any questions please feel free to e-mail us or phone +44 (0)870 068 4545

HOUSE RULES - Shared Accommodation
(see your contract for season lets)

1) No smoking anywhere inside the property. When smoking outside please bin your cigarette butts safely to keep the environment clean. Note: Under Canadian law a $500 dollar fine is payable. When sharing a property with smokers and non smokers this is the only solution. Smoking on balconies and terraces is fine

2) All shoes to be removed upon entry to the property. Slippers or slipper socks are recommended. Keeps the snow and dirt out, and the floors clean. Less cleaning for you and less damage to the floor/carpets.

3)All Snowboard and Ski equipment is only to be stored in the specific areas provided. When wet boards drip onto floors the water pools around the metal edges and causes rust stains which can ruin the surface they are on. Keeps the property clutter free and 'smelly boot' free.\

4)The heating is set to a comfortable level by thermostats/timers for morning and evening, where a log fire is available this should be used to supplement the heating. Additional heating charges will be incurred if the thermostats/timers are adjusted or there is excessive usage (ie don't walk around in your shorts, with the windows open and the heating on!). This is the mountains and winter time so strolling round the house in shorts and t-shirts shouldn't be expected. Trousers and t-shirt is comfortable, or put on a sweater. The air in the mountains is already drier than you are used to and with the heat up too high sore throats and headaches become commonplace.

5)Quiet time is 10.30pm Sunday thru Thursday and 11.00pm Fri/Sat. This is strictly enforced by the police as a local byelaw. Your neighbours might well have to get up at 7am to go to work, and some of your house mates might well be keen to get first tracks. And most importantly it stops you being arrested!

6)It is OK to have parties provided that all the house rules are followed and the host is informed. The hosts hate to miss out on a good party! (NB There are no hosts for a seasonlet) NB in Switzerland there is zero tolerance - an on-the-spot fine is imposed for noise after 10pm.

7) We run a strict no guest's overnight policy, at all times. (Even after a party, just put them in a taxi and send them home) Plain and simple, Insurance and Fire regulations (with seasonlet it's your flat - but check out your contract!!)

8)Keep the property secure by checking that all the doors and windows are locked when the property is empty. Remember, it is your valuables inside.Its your stuff and if you leave the place unlocked your travel insurance company is unlikely to pay out.

9)The entire property (this includes your bedroom) is to be kept clean and tidy. The host will make regular visits and give friendly reminders. In extreme cases a 48 hr cleaning warning will be given. If the property is still not cleaned within this 48hr time frame then a professional cleaner will be used and charges deducted from your security deposit.At home you might leave your 5 day old y-fronts lying around but when you are sharing it really isn't on. Tidying up after yourself keeps the place cosy and welcoming. A dirty kitchen and overflowing bins is inviting trouble with rodents and bugs which aint nice.

10)Our 'Three Strike' policy is very simple. If an individual fails to respect ANY of the above house rules a verbal reminder will be given the first time, and a written warning the second time. If there is a third time then the individual will be required to vacate the property immediately and provide your own alternative arrangements for accommodation at your own cost. If you break the rules then you are spoiling everyone else's holiday. So be considerate to your house mates.

11)'NO ILLEGAL DRUGS' or stolen goods (including road signs) to be stored or used on any of our properties at any time. **If the police come round and find illegal substances or stolen goods then it will be EVERY person staying in that property that could be deported or arrested.

** This rule is exempt from the 'Three Strike' policy. There will be no reminders or written warnings. You will be required to vacate the property immediately and provide your own alternative arrangements for accommodation at your own cost.

Thank you for taking the time to read through our house rules. Take care on the mountain and have a great season.
