Terms and conditions

Your Guide to having a great experience as a Coliving resident.

Staying at a Coliving House is different from a hotel. You’ll stay longer, enjoy access to exclusive amenities such as a state-of-the-art coworking space, fitness center, garden, swimming pool, and common areas, take an active role in your stay, and be part of a vibrant community. Here are a few simple ground rules to help you have the best experience:

 

The Spaces

• Your room is your sanctuary of privacy and calm. Please don’t lend your key to anyone or leave it in common areas. Lost keys will be charged at €10 each.
• You are welcome to bring a guest to stay with you for one night per week. If you wish them to join the community for breakfast, it’ll be charged at €10 per day and lunch at the residents rate.
• Should you wish for them to stay longer, this’ll be put to voting by the residents and if they agree, you’ll be charged €50/day for XL rooms and €30/day in L and M rooms.
• You are fully responsible for your guest’s behavior and their consumption will be charged to your credit card on file with us.
• Coliving building’s Common areas are to be used by residents only – Coworking and Club members have access to the Coworking space and outdoor areas only, except during events that take place in the Coliving space and are open to the public. Non-residents aren’t allowed to enter the top floor of the Coliving house.
• You’ll have your own spaces and drawers in the communal refrigerator and kitchen cabinets marked with the name of your room.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• The common areas are professionally cleaned on a weekly basis. Residents are expected to tidy up after themselves throughout the day/week – putting their dishes in the dishwasher or washing up after themselves, starting/emptying the dishwasher, wiping up surfaces after meal prep – the kinds of things you’d do in your own home, as this is your home during the time you stay at AOMA.
• Weekly room cleaning and bedding change is included in your rate. If you’d like to clean your room in the interim, feel free to grab cleaning supplies from the pantry next to the kitchen – they are free to use. Alternatively, you can request a one-off cleaning of your room at the rate of €30.

Community organization

• We have a community manager on site responsible for programming, answering any questions, facilitating connections between residents, or with the wider community, and helping navigate the local landscape.
• Weekly community dinners are for residents to come together and connect, share, and enjoy a more intimate family style meal.
• We’ll take turns cooking these community dinners with 2 rooms tag-teaming each time. Expenses for these dinners are shared among all residents and it is up to the week’s chefs to create the menu and collect payments.
• Those who cook don’t clean, so the rest of the residents are responsible for cleaning up after community dinners.
• Fridays are Open Days when the members of the Vizinhos Club will stay with us for the day, coming from Lisbon and surrounding areas. There will be a catered lunch and after work activities.

Coworking

• Your Coliving rate includes the use of coworking spaces free of charge with the exception of Creator Studios for which you’ll have a special resident rate.

General terms of use: The Spaces

• We do not accept responsibility for any loss or damage caused to personal belongings. We strongly advise all guests to obtain travel or nomad insurance whenever they travel. Feel free to contact us for a list of recommended companies.
• The terms and conditions also apply to car parking use and cars are left at the client’s own risk.
• Our premises are smoke free. Guests are not permitted to smoke inside the house, common areas, the coworking space or in the garden. Drugs are prohibited.
• AOMA Coliving and Coworking is not responsible for your travel and expenses to or from here.
• Our service starts on check-in day, when reservation is confirmed and the guest arrives and finishes on check-out date, when the guest leaves. All reservations can be extended upon availability and following the Portuguese law.
• Upon arrival guests will be required to confirm their identity showing us a passport or a valid government issued ID. These documents will be requested for any guest over 13 years old and we may refuse the entry to anyone who cannot provide this documentation.

Pricing and Reservation

• Upon making your booking the price of your stay will not normally be subject to change however we reserve the right to increase or decrease prices.
  AOMA requires 50% of the total cost when booking as a deposit and the remaining 50% to be paid 30 days prior to booking. If the booking is made less than 30 days prior to your stay, full payment is required at the time of booking.
