House Rules
HOUSE RULES Most of this guide is based on respect, safety and common sense, and most of my guests do these things without needing reminders. However, these guidelines are all based on past experiences, and these instructions may be necessary for some guests. It is YOUR responsibility to read the house rules before booking. A confirmed booking is a contract and means you agreed to the following: * RESPECT! * SAFETY! * HYGIENE! BOOKINGS: * A booking means you have read and accepted the house rules. * You abide by the booking platform policy and conditions. * I may request a government ID at check-in time for safety reasons. Do not use a fake name for bookings, or your booking might be cancelled! * Third-party bookings are not allowed with instant bookings because unregistered guests are not covered by insurance. CHECK-INS: * Check-ins are after 5 pm and before 9 pm. Check-out is before 1 pm. Please advise of your arrival time in advance (within check-in times), so I can plan my time to be home to receive you. Good communication is important! * Be on time for the check-in. If you’re running late, please get in touch with the host beforehand and ask for approval. If your flight is late, do this before boarding. * No early check-ins or late check-outs without pre-approval, as other guests may still occupy the room. The room and bathroom also need cleaning in between rentals. * Late check-ins without prior approval will be marked as a No Show. QUIET TIME: * You are free to go out at your leisure, but it's quiet time between 10.30 pm to 7.30 am. * The kitchen is CLOSED during quiet time. No exceptions! * No loud noises or use of shared areas during quiet time. * It's likely to be other guests in the home who may be sleeping and need to get up early. Be respectful and considerate! SAFETY: * No smoking or drugs on the property. * No illegal activities in the house, including on the internet. * No visitors or unregistered guests. They are not covered by liability insurance. * Respect other residents and do not go into other people's bedrooms! * No mail, food or parcels should be delivered to this address without prior consent. There are mail post boxes available locally. * For safety reasons, a doorbell camera in the kitchen is pointing at the front door. HYGIENE: * This is a no-shoes house for hygienic reasons. Hotel slippers to use during your stay and a shoe rack are provided. * I don't charge cleaning fees. You're responsible for tidying and cleaning up after yourself. Leave shared areas, such as the kitchen and shared bathroom, clean after use and ready for the next person. * Wardrobes, drawers and hangers are provided. Please use them. * No dirty toilet paper in the bin. Please place it in the toilet and flash it. FOOD: * Breakfast is included. It starts at 7.30 AM and ends at 10.30 AM, when the kitchen needs to be vacated. It comprises of tea, coffee, bread, cereals, milk, jams and spreads. * Please do not eat anyone else’s food. You will be charged extra if you do. * You can use the kitchen for a quick meal between 6 PM and 10.30 PM. The oven is not included. * No food or meals in bedrooms. It's unhygienic and attracts pests like cockroaches. The drinks are OK. * Please recycle or the host could get a council fine. There is a recycling bin in the kitchen. WASHING & DRYING: * If you stay over five days, you can use the washer - maximum of 2 washing machine loads per week. * There is no separate dryer. Please hang clothes outside in the garden on the clothes hoist or the clothes racks under the patio if it rains. * Keep wet towels in the bathroom. Please don't dry clothes and towels inside bedrooms or on furniture to avoid humidity and mould, which is unhealthy and causes property damage. UTILITIES: * Utilities are very expensive in Australia, and the room you booked is priced very low for Sydney. Please consider the environment and costs when using electricity, gas and water. Also, be considerate of others who will miss out if you use all the hot water. * Turn off all lights, air conditioners and appliances when not in use or going out. MISSING ITEMS & DAMAGES * Breakages and damages will incur charges, as well as missing items at the end of the lease, including keys. Do not take anything from the home, or you risk being charged with theft. * You are welcome to read my books, but they should not be taken out of the home. REVIEWS A review is very much appreciated, provided you were a respectful guest. Don’t break the rules and then be upset that the host had to remind you. When writing a review please be fair and take into account that you paid the equivalent of a bunk bed in a youth hostel in Sydney. Sydney is amongst the 5 most expensive cities in the world! The platforms rating system were created for large hotels and it is unfair to rate a budget bed and breakfast lower because it doesn’t have the same facilities of a 5-Star hotel. Remember! You didn’t pay $400.00 or $500.00 a night either! Be fair and rate for what you paid! LEGALITIES: * You only rent a bedroom and bathroom, not a full home. This is a Bed and Breakfast ONLY - it's NOT a home office, a homestay or a holiday home. * I don't accept requests for alterations after the commencement of a stay - this is what cancellations are for. Alterations are only approved for very serious and proven reasons, and refunds will be issued per my Cancellation Policy. * If you leave, but the room is still occupied with your belongings, you are liable for its payment. * Please advise the host before booking, if you have serious physical or mental health issues that might not be catered for in a typical family home environment. * You will be asked to leave if you are disrespectful and inconsiderate towards the host or other guests or continue to break the house rules. If you leave early, you forfeit your right to a refund. If you are unsure about anything, please ask me. Online translators are available if you need clarification in your language.
