- PROCEDURE AND TERMS FOR SELECTING AND PAYING FOR RESERVATIONS
3.1. The Client is given the opportunity to choose from the offered service packages (according to the offers valid on the day, which may include accommodation, meals, and individual wellness services) or standard accommodation options listed in the reservation table, with a link for date selection, based on the prices valid on the reservation date.
3.2. After reviewing the package composition and price, the Client can select the desired available reservation date for the chosen room and any additional conditions or packages.
3.3. Once an offer is selected, the Client proceeds to the next reservation step — a form in which personal information and any notes/requests regarding the reservation must be provided.
3.4. For the reservation to be valid, the Client must pay an advance. The advance can be paid using one of the following methods:
3.4.1. Credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Eurocard);
3.4.2. Electronic bank transfer (EVP International);
3.4.3. Bank transfer or later payment.
3.5. If the Client selects the payment methods listed in 3.4.1. or 3.4.2., they are redirected to a website where payment is processed via the EVP International system. Data authorization starts through a 128-bit encrypted protocol. Once the payment is received by EVP International, the Client receives an automatic email confirming the payment and reservation. The email will include client information, hotel name, total accommodation price, paid advance, amount due at the hotel, and other service conditions. The remaining amount is paid at the hotel. This email must be presented at the hotel as proof of the paid advance and for final billing.
3.6. A user with a personal account in the BookingRobot system can link their credit card(s) to their account. In this case, for each service purchase, the amount is automatically charged from the Client’s account during the purchase. The Client can unlink their card anytime in the account settings under “Payment Cards” by clicking “Delete.” Credit card security is guaranteed by UAB Paysera LT, a company registered with the Bank of Lithuania.
3.7. If the Client selects the method under 3.4.3. (pay by bank transfer or later), they will receive an initial reservation confirmation via email. However, the reservation is only finalized once the advance is paid by standard or online bank transfer. The reservation is held for 48 hours from the time of booking. If the advance is not received within this period, the reservation may be canceled. Once the advance is received, the Client gets a confirmation email with their data, hotel name, total accommodation price, paid advance, remaining balance, and other service terms, which must be shown at the hotel upon arrival for final billing.
3.8. Reservation by request: If the desired room is not available in the system, the Client may fill out a request form. After submission, the Client will receive an email either confirming the availability or informing of unavailability, along with advance payment instructions. The advance can be paid by credit card, electronic, or standard bank transfer. The reservation is confirmed only once the advance is received. The confirmation email will include the Client’s information, hotel name, total accommodation price, paid advance, amount due, and other service terms — to be presented at check-in.
3.9. Service prices in the online reservation system are listed in euros, including VAT. However, the tourism tax of 2 EUR/day set by the Birštonas municipality is not included and is added separately based on their approved tariffs and rules (available at www.birstonas.lt).
3.10. Before paying the advance, the Client confirms they have read and agreed to the “ESĖ” electronic reservation system rules by ticking the checkbox in the order window next to “I have read and agree with the privacy policy and booking terms.” Reservations cannot be submitted without this confirmation.
3.11. Once payment confirmation is received, a service contract is considered concluded between the Client and “ESĖ.” “ESĖ” is not responsible if the contract is not formed due to non-receipt of timely payment confirmation under the stated terms.
3.12. According to Article 6.228(10) of the Civil Code: The consumer has the right to withdraw from a distance or off-premises contract within 14 days without giving a reason or incurring any costs other than those outlined in Article 6.228(11), except for exceptions listed in part 2 of the same article. The right of withdrawal does not apply to contracts for accommodation, catering, or leisure services where a specific service date or period is defined.

A minimum loss is considered to be the price of the first night’s stay, if one was booked.
