Return Policy:

1. Booking Fee: When you book a property with Swipelets Malta, a booking fee may be required. This fee is non-refundable as it covers administrative costs associated with securing the property for you.
2. Reservation Fee: In some cases, a reservation fee may apply when you decide to reserve a property. This fee is also non-refundable, as it is used to hold the property off the market for you during the reservation period.

4. Terms and Conditions: Each property may have its specific terms and conditions regarding cancellations or changes to bookings or reservations. Please review these terms carefully before proceeding.
