YOUR BOOKING
How do I book an apartment with FeelFree?
You can book a vacation or seasonal rental directly through the official FeelFree website or by contacting our team by phone. The online process is instant: select your dates, choose your accommodation, and complete the secure payment. If you prefer personalized assistance, our support team will recommend the best option for your needs.
How do I pay for my reservation?
You can pay for your FeelFree reservation using a credit or debit card, or via bank transfer. Card payments are 100% secure and processed online during checkout on our website. If you prefer to pay by bank transfer, you can arrange this directly by calling our guest service team.
What information is required to confirm a reservation?
To confirm your reservation, we need your basic personal details: first name, last name, email address, and phone number. A valid payment method is also required. During the online check-in process, you and your guests will need to provide full personal information and scan your IDs or passports, as required by local law.
How is the maximum capacity of the apartment calculated?
The maximum capacity of FeelFree apartments is calculated by adding the total number of adults and children; infants under 2 years old do not count toward this limit. For example, a group of 6 people consisting of 4 adults, one child, and an infant under 2 can comfortably stay in an apartment with a capacity of 5. When booking online, you can specify if you are traveling with infants and select any cribs or high chairs you may need. The first crib and high chair are completely free; an extra fee applies starting from the second one.
What is the minimum and maximum stay for seasonal rentals?
The minimum stay for FeelFree seasonal rentals is 32 nights, and the maximum stay is 1 year, with the option to renew the lease agreement at the end of the term.
Are utilities included in the price?
Yes, utilities are included for stays of up to 4 months (120 days), subject to a maximum consumption cap. This limit varies depending on the apartment and is detailed during the booking process. For stays longer than four months, utility expenses are the responsibility of the guest.
Can I make a reservation under a company name?
Yes, you can make a reservation under a company name by entering the corporation’s tax details during checkout on our website. Once the booking is completed, we will automatically email you the invoice, with no further steps required.
Does FeelFree offer apartments in the same building for large groups?
Yes, FeelFree offers vacation rentals located within the same building in San Sebastian, which are ideal for keeping large groups together in one location. Additionally, we offer entire apartment buildings through our FeelFree STAYS brand. To coordinate a booking for multiple adjacent accommodations, we recommend contacting our guest service team directly. This allows us to ensure the best apartment distribution, centralized payment management, and the proximity your group needs.
How do I cancel my reservation?
You can easily cancel your reservation through your private traveler area on the FeelFree website. Please note that free cancellation windows vary depending on the destination (San Sebastian or Baqueira) and the seasonality of the stay, with stricter policies applying during peak high season. You can review these specific conditions in the booking engine before confirming your payment, and they will always be accessible within your private traveler area once the reservation is made.

Do I need to pay a security deposit to book a FeelFree apartment?
Whether you need to pay a security deposit depends on the type of rental you book with FeelFree:
Vacation rentals:

Your card is securely tokenized during payment. FeelFree will only charge your card up to the specified limit if there is demonstrable damage to the apartment after check-out.
Seasonal rentals:
Yes, a security deposit is mandatory by law. For seasonal rentals, the Basque Government requires a legal deposit. The amount varies based on your length of stay (more nights equal a higher amount set by regulations), and you will see the exact total before confirming. You can pay online before your trip or on arrival with a credit/debit card at our San Sebastián office (Calle Peña y Goñi 3). While the legal refund window is up to three months, at FeelFree we process the refund a few days after check-out once we verify the apartment is in perfect condition.
