Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions govern bookings and services provided by Holiday Home Cleaning Services CO. L.L.C. The pricing shown reflects our standard rates — in some cases pricing may be customised based on the property, scope or service frequency. Please contact us for a tailored quote.

1. Services Provided

We provide on-demand services, allowing clients to book holiday home cleaning, laundry, optional linen hire, and amenities as needed without fixed or recurring appointments. Bookings are subject to availability and to the terms in the Booking Requests section below.

We also offer all-inclusive packages covering cleaning, laundry, optional linen hire, and amenities — see Package Pricing & Staffing and Amenities for full details.

Hourly cleaning rates

All prices plus VAT.

OptionRate
Standard hourly rate (materials included)AED 45 per hour per cleaner
Minimum call-out (cleaning under 2 hours)AED 90

Separately charged services

The following are not included in all-inclusive packages or hourly cleanings and are charged separately:

  • Carpet cleaning
  • Stain and spot cleaning
  • Deep or specialised cleaning
  • Upholstery cleaning
  • Steam cleaning

2. Booking Requests

All bookings are subject to availability and confirmation. Requests made with less than 48 hours’ notice carry a higher risk of unavailability and cannot be guaranteed. While advance notice improves the likelihood of confirmation, it does not guarantee availability.

During peak periods (public holidays, New Year, and major events in Dubai), the Company and its trusted associates may be fully booked, and the Company may decline a request even with more than 48 hours’ notice. Where necessary and feasible, short-notice requests may be supported by trusted third-party associates who regularly collaborate with the Company.

3. Cancellation and Rescheduling Policy

Cancellations or rescheduling requests made less than 24 hours before the scheduled service incur a cancellation fee of AED 100 + VAT.

Issues with channel managers or booking platforms that result in cancellations or rescheduling are not our responsibility and are subject to the standard cancellation and rescheduling fee. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Double bookings caused by synchronization errors
  • Incorrect information or updates about booking details
  • Delays in receiving booking information
  • Technical problems related to the channel manager software or booking platforms

4. Service Delays

If there is a delay in cleaning services exceeding one hour without prior 24-hour notice due to reasons beyond our control (e.g., inability to access the property, guests refusing to check out on time, or other prohibiting reasons preventing our staff from starting work), additional charges will apply based on our hourly rates.

5. Lost and Found

Any items left by previous guests that are found by our staff will be documented with a photograph and kept in the unit. The Company assumes no liability for any damage, loss, or theft of such items.

6. Laundry Services

Processing of laundry items is exclusively available as part of holiday home cleaning turnarounds. We process home items only — bed linens and towels — not personal garments. To manage capacity, we may collaborate with trusted laundry partners.

What’s included

  • Washing, drying, and folding
  • Ironing for bed linens only

What’s not included

  • Manual stain inspection per item — while we make every effort to identify and report noticeable stains, we cannot guarantee all stains will be detected or treated
  • Special stain care, bleaching, or dry cleaning

Wash & dry conditions

  • All items are washed at 40°C — our staff will not verify whether each garment is suitable for this wash. The user assumes responsibility for any damage to their garment.
  • All items are tumble-dried. Clients must ensure only tumble-dry-safe items are provided. We do not take responsibility for shrinkage or damage due to tumble drying.
  • Clients are responsible for sorting laundry and indicating any special washing instructions.

  • Visual documentation: a before-cleaning video may be recorded to document the initial state of the property, and a post-cleaning video may be taken to showcase the completed work. We may also photograph damages, defects, or specific areas requested by the client.
  • Privacy when guests are present: in cases where guests are present in the unit, the Company will refrain from taking photographs or videos to respect their privacy.
  • Issue reporting: any pre-existing visible issues or damage (broken furniture, stains, missing items) identified during the service will be documented and reported to the client. Significant issues such as maintenance needs or hazards will be highlighted for immediate attention.
  • Where linens supplied under the linen hire service are found missing, torn, or stained, the Company will notify the client without delay — including apartment reference, photograph, and where applicable a short video — to enable the client to claim costs from the responsible party and arrange replacement.
  • Unreported issues: the Company is not responsible for any pre-existing damage, issues, or breakages that are not reported during the service. Clients are encouraged to review provided documentation thoroughly and notify the Company within 24 hours of receiving the report if any concerns are identified.

11. Service Quality Guarantee — Touch-Up Cleaning

In the event of a legitimate complaint or issue regarding the quality of a completed cleaning service, the Company will provide a complimentary touch-up cleaning to address the specific concern, provided that:

  • The complaint is reported within 3 days of service completion, supported by photographic evidence.
  • The touch-up is scheduled and carried out within 24 hours of the complaint being acknowledged, subject to availability and property access.
  • The touch-up is strictly limited to the specific area(s) identified in the original complaint.

This service does not cover additional cleaning needs, new dirt or mess accumulated after the original service, areas outside the scope of the original complaint, or extensive soiling unrelated to the reported issue. Any work beyond the scope of the touch-up will be quoted and charged separately.

12. Maintenance and Repair Services

Maintenance and repair work is not included in cleaning packages or hourly cleaning services. Where the Company has the technical capacity to resolve a fault identified during a service, it may offer to do so on the following terms:

  • A written quote will be submitted to the client prior to commencement of any repair.
  • Work shall only commence following the client’s written approval (including approval given by email or WhatsApp).
  • On completion, the Company will provide an itemised invoice with supporting receipts and photographs to enable the client to process any onward reimbursement.
  • The Company reserves the right to decline maintenance work that falls outside the scope of its capability or licensing, or that requires specialised contractors.

13. Operational Support and Check-in Assistance

In-person check-in support consists of being present at the property and assisting the guest with basic entry instructions. It does not include concierge services, troubleshooting of in-unit issues, or guest hosting beyond the initial entry.

All prices plus VAT, per visit.

Type of check-inFee
During a scheduled cleaning appointment (no extra time required)Free
Outside cleaning, within service hours (10:00–19:00)AED 90
Outside service hours (before 10:00 or after 19:00)AED 180

Where a guest performs an unauthorised late check-out, the Company will notify the client immediately and use reasonable efforts to maintain the schedule for the next guest’s entry, with prior notice of any foreseeable delay. Any additional time incurred remains subject to the Service Delays clause above.

Operational support beyond the scope of basic check-in (ongoing guest liaison, repeated site visits, or property management duties) requires a separate written agreement and may incur additional management fees.

14. Payment Terms

  • First appointment for each new unit (first-time service at a property) must be paid in advance, before the booked cleaning date and time.
  • Invoices are issued on a weekly basis and must be paid in full via bank transfer or cash deposit within seven (7) calendar days of issue.
