In the event that the fees for the alternative accommodation are higher than the original Accommodation, the Property Partner shall be responsible for the difference.

All Reservations are binding on the Property Partner from the earlier of: the time the Reservation confirmation is received in writing by email from the Property Partner; or the expiry of one hour from the time a Reservation is sent or communicated by We Stay Ltd to the Property Partner.
