Billing & Payments

Can I split the payment between multiple cards?

At this time, we can only process payments using a single credit card per reservation. However, we can split the payment of your reservation into two transactions. On our check out we have an options to pay 50% now and 50% a week before you are schedule to check-in.

Are there any hidden fees?

No, all fees, including cleaning and service fees, are outlined at the time of booking. We believe in transparency, and there are no hidden costs. When booking directly through WeekAway Inc., you can enjoy lower costs as we do not charge the service fees typically applied by platforms like Airbnb.

Are taxes included in the booking price?

Yes, applicable taxes are included in your final booking price. You’ll see a breakdown of charges when you complete your reservation.

When will my card be charged?

Your card will be charged at the time of booking to secure your reservation. If any additional charges (such as damage fees) apply after your stay, you will be notified before the charge is made.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express), and payments can be processed securely through our booking platform. We do not accept cash payments or Interac e-Transfers for reservations.

Cancellations

Can I transfer my booking to another guest?

Yes, you can transfer your booking to another guest. Changes to this can be made within the confirmation email that was sent to the original booker. If you have trouble with this change you can contact us for assistance.

What if I need to cancel or change my reservation last minute?

Last minute changes may not be accommodated as per our cancellation policies. Please contact us at support@weekaway.ca if you need last minute changes made.

What is your cancellation policy?

Our flexible cancellation policy ensures peace of mind for guests while maintaining clarity and fairness. Guests are eligible for a 100% refund if they cancel within 24 hours of booking acceptance, provided the booking is made at least 7 days before check-in. A 100% refund is also available for cancellations made at least 14 days before check-in, and a 50% refund applies to cancellations made at least 7 days prior to check-in. After this period, all reservations become non-refundable.

During Your Stay

Are there quiet hours at the property?

Yes, we ask that guests observe quiet hours from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM to ensure a peaceful environment for everyone in the area.

Can I host events or parties?

To respect our neighbors and maintain the property’s condition, large parties, events, and large gatherings are not permitted. If you’re planning something special, feel free to ask us, and we’ll see what we can do!

Is the property child-friendly?

Yes, our property welcomes families. While the space isn’t specifically child-proofed, we can, upon request, provide a pack and play and we include children's dinnerware and cutlery. 

What should I do if there’s an issue with the property during my stay?

We want your stay to be as smooth as possible. If you encounter any issues, such as maintenance concerns, please contact us immediately via phone or email or on the platform you booked on. We’ll address the issue promptly.

Is the hot tub private on your properties?

Yes, the hot tub is for your exclusive use during your stay, offering a relaxing experience with scenic views. Please follow the provided safety instructions outlined in the home.

Pre-Arrival

Do I need to bring any documents or identification?

No physical documents are required at check-in. However, please ensure the name on the booking matches the ID of the main guest.

What should I do if I need to amend my booking before arrival?

For any booking changes, including date adjustments or guest count, please contact us directly. We will work with you to modify your reservation, subject to availability and our booking policies.

How will I receive the check-in details?

You will receive a few automated detailed check-in messages prior to your visit. One message after reservation confirmation, one message 3 days prior and another 24 hours before your stay, including the door code, property address, and important house rules. This ensures you have everything you need for a smooth arrival.

Is there a minimum stay requirement?

Yes, on most of our properties there is a minimum stay of 2 nights. However, during peak seasons or holidays, the minimum stay may increase to 3 or more nights. For certain parts of the month, we may lower the stay to 1 night depending on availability. You can check the booking availability on the listing itself or contact us for special requests.

Can I check-in earlier or check-out later?

We try to accommodate early check-ins and late check-outs when possible, but it depends on our cleaning schedule and other reservations. Please reach out to us at least 72 hours in advance. If you want to guarantee an early check-in and we have availability we will have to block off the night before ensuring that the unit is vacant and cleaned before your arrival. If this is the case we charge 50% of the nightly rate to block off our calendar a night before. Please reach out to us if this is something that interest you.

What time is check-in and check-out?

Check-in is at 4:00 PM, and check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you require early check-in or late check-out, please let us know ahead of time. We’ll do our best to accommodate based on availability, but additional fees may apply if outside regular hours.

Post Check-Out

Do you offer discounts for returning guests?

We value our repeat guests! While we don’t have an automated loyalty program yet, you can sign up for our community program, which means you will receive exclusive promotions on our properties from time to time.

What happens if I forget something at the property?

If you leave something behind, contact us as soon as possible. We will do our best to locate the item and arrange for its return. Please note that shipping costs will be the guest’s responsibility.

How soon will my security deposit be refunded?

If we required a security deposit from you and there were no damages during your stay, your security deposit will be refunded within 7 days of check-out. Please note it may take additional time for the refund to appear on your statement depending on your bank.

What should I do before checking out?

Before you depart, kindly ensure that all personal belongings are taken with you, lights are turned off, and doors are securely locked. Please inform us of your check-out by sending a message through our platform. If you're feeling particularly helpful, you can assist our cleaning team by placing used towels in the designated bins or leaving them on the bathroom floor, and disposing of any leftover food in the fridge. Thank you for your cooperation!

Security & Privacy

How is my privacy protected?

We take privacy seriously. Security measures like cameras are only placed in external areas, and no cameras or monitoring devices are located inside the homes. All data is handled with the utmost care. After each reservation, our team takes extra steps to ensure your peace of mind. We conduct a thorough inspection of the property, including using equipment to detect any unauthorized devices, ensuring a safe and secure stay for all our guests.

What is a Minut sensor, and how does it work?

Our homes are fitted with Minut sensors, which monitor noise levels and smoke detection to ensure the safety and comfort of all guests. These sensors do not record any audio or video and are fully compliant with privacy standards. Learn more about Minut sensors here.

Are there security cameras on the property?

Yes, all of our Canmore properties are equipped with outdoor front door security cameras to ensure your safety. These cameras are located in public areas and comply with local privacy laws.
