Nordik Company
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before, during and after your stay with Nordik. Can't find your answer? Get in touch.
Booking and payment
Why book on the Nordik website rather than Booking or Airbnb?
Because booking directly on our website costs less than booking the same accommodation on Booking or Airbnb. You can also manage your booking in “My booking” and speak directly to our team.
How far in advance can I book?
You can book up to 180 days before your arrival date.
Is there a minimum stay?
Yes, the minimum stay depends on the property and dates. You'll see it when you select your dates on the property page.
How do I pay? Is it secure?
Payment is by card through Stripe, a secure payment gateway. Nordik will never ask you to pay via WhatsApp or outside our website or the platform you booked through.
What's the difference between an apartment and a room (Rooms)?
With an apartment, you have the entire place to yourself. With Rooms, you book a private room for your exclusive use within a shared apartment: the bathroom and kitchen are shared with other guests (except where the listing specifies a private bathroom) and are cleaned very frequently. Please read the description carefully before booking.
Is there a lift?
It depends on the building: some have no lift and rooms on upper floors, while some apartments are on the ground floor. We specify this on each property page; if it's important to you, please ask us before booking.
I booked through Booking or Airbnb. Can I manage my booking on your website?
No: bookings made through Booking or Airbnb must be changed or cancelled on that platform, and Nordik cannot modify them for you. For everything else (arrival, access or any issues), we're still here to help via WhatsApp or email.
Prices and discounts
What rates are available?
There are two: a flexible rate, which allows cancellation under its terms, and a lower-priced non-refundable rate, which does not allow refunds. The terms are similar to those on Booking, and you'll see them before you pay.
Are there discounts for booking on your website?
Yes: our website prices are already lower than those on booking platforms, and if you join Nordik Tribe for free, you get member rates (up to 10% off).
Does the price include cleaning, bed linen and towels?
Yes, your accommodation will be clean, with the bed made and towels provided. There's no separate cleaning fee: it's included in the price you see.
Do you charge a security deposit?
No. Bookings on our website do not require a security deposit.
Cancellations and changes
Can I cancel my booking?
With the flexible rate, cancellation is free up to 7 days before arrival (up to 5 days for Nordik Tribe members). The non-refundable rate does not allow refunds. Submit your request through “My booking”.
Can I change my dates or extend my stay?
Yes, you can request a date change or extend your stay through “My booking”. We'll check availability; if your property isn't available for those nights, we'll suggest another available Nordik property.
There will be fewer (or more) of us than originally booked. What should I do?
Let us know so we can update the number of guests, as the online registration must match the people staying. Only guests who are listed on the booking and have registered are allowed to enter.
Will I get a refund if the accommodation isn't what I expected when I arrive?
All features (shared bathroom, floor, parking…) are described in the listing, so we recommend reading it carefully before booking. If you cancel after your stay has begun, your rate's terms apply. If there's a genuine problem with the accommodation, contact us straight away so we can resolve it.
Before you arrive
What do I need to do before I arrive?
Complete the online registration (online check-in / guest registration form). A few days before arrival, you'll receive a link by email and WhatsApp. Once registration is complete, we'll send your access details 24 hours before arrival.
Is guest registration mandatory?
Yes, it is required by law for everyone staying, including anyone added to the booking later.
Do I have to upload a photo of my ID card or passport?
No, it's optional. Scanning your document simply fills in your details automatically; if you'd rather not upload it or get an error, you can enter your details manually and your registration will be just as valid. We recommend using Google Chrome.
I haven't received the registration link yet. Is that normal?
Yes: the link arrives a few days before check-in. If your arrival date is approaching and you still haven't received it, check your spam folder and message us on WhatsApp so we can resend it.
Do I need to tell you what time I'll arrive?
Yes, it really helps us. We'll send you a link to let us know your arrival time (and later, your departure time). If you've already told us by message, there's no need to tell us again.
I've received a WhatsApp message or email asking for payment. Is it from you?
Our official WhatsApp number is +34 644 63 00 29. We never ask for payment via WhatsApp: don't pay anything outside our website or the platform you booked through, and if you're unsure, contact us first.
Arrival and access
What time can I check in, and when do I need to check out?
Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out is by 10:00. Our team cleans and prepares the accommodation between bookings.
Can I check in before 15:00?
We can't guarantee it, as cleaning takes place before then. If you need to arrive very early, the best option is to book the previous night too, if it's available.
Where do I collect the keys?
There are no physical keys or key boxes: check-in is self-service, using a digital key or codes. We'll send your access details and an instruction video 24 hours before arrival, once your online registration is complete.
I'm arriving very late or in the early hours. Is that a problem?
Not at all: with self check-in, you can arrive at any time. Watch the access video carefully before you arrive and let us know your approximate arrival time. In Rooms, please enter quietly; in apartments, don't ring the building intercom or neighbours' doorbells. If you're unsure about anything, message or call us.
The code isn't working or the door has locked me out. What should I do?
This usually happens after several consecutive attempts. Wait 2 minutes and carefully enter the code again, or use the digital key link to open the door. If it still won't open, message us on WhatsApp.
I've left my phone inside. How can I get in?
Contact us from another phone: we'll verify the name on the booking and open the door remotely. For security reasons, we never give codes to anyone who isn't on the booking.
Can I leave my luggage before check-in or after check-out?
We don't have luggage storage. We recommend nearby paid luggage storage services or lockers; tell us where you're staying and we'll point you in the right direction.
During your stay
Are towels and a hairdryer provided?
Yes, towels are included. The hairdryer is in the bathroom or bathroom cupboard; in Rooms, it may be shared.
Is a travel cot available?
Some apartments have a travel cot; it comes without bedding and guests usually assemble it themselves. Please request one in advance so we can confirm availability.
How does the shared kitchen work in Rooms?
The kitchen is shared by guests staying in the apartment. You can store food in the fridge labelled with your name, and we ask you to leave everything clean and tidy after use.
Are there house rules and quiet hours?
Yes. Please respect other guests' and neighbours' need for rest: quiet hours are from 22:00 to 10:00. Parties and pets are not allowed.
Is there Wi-Fi?
Yes, all our properties have Wi-Fi. You'll find the connection details in your arrival instructions.
Is there a safe?
No, none of our properties have a safe.
Some cupboards are padlocked. Can I use them?
Those cupboards are reserved for the cleaning team and must remain locked. You're welcome to use all other cupboards and drawers.
Is the tap water safe to drink?
Yes, tap water in Málaga is safe to drink, although many people prefer the taste of bottled water.
There's no hot water. What should I do?
The water heater can take about an hour to heat up again after several showers in a row. Check that it's plugged in and switched on; if there's still no hot water, contact us.
The hob, oven or kitchen appliances aren't working.
Many induction hobs have a safety lock: we can explain how to unlock it. If nothing is working, check the fuse box for a tripped circuit breaker and switch it back on. If that doesn't help, send us a photo or video.
The air conditioning isn't working.
Check that the remote has batteries, that you've selected the mode (cooling or heating) and that the windows are closed. If it still isn't working, let us know.
I'm allergic to air fresheners. Can you remove them?
Yes. Let us know and we'll remove them.
There's a problem or something has broken. How do I let you know?
Message us on WhatsApp (+34 644 63 00 29), explaining what's happened and where, with a photo or video if possible. That way we can help straight away or send maintenance as soon as possible. If we need to enter the property during your stay, we'll let you know beforehand.
Is cleaning provided during my stay?
We don't offer cleaning during your stay. For longer stays, we provide extra bed linen and towels so you can change them whenever you like. In Rooms, shared areas are cleaned frequently.
When will you reply?
We'll reply as soon as possible through the same channel you used to contact us; if we have your phone number, we may also reply via WhatsApp.
Parking and transport
Is there parking?
Our properties don't have private parking. Street parking is in paid blue zones or residents-only areas; a nearby public car park is the most convenient option. Tell us which property you're staying at and we'll recommend the nearest one.
Do you offer airport transfers?
Yes. You can book a private transfer to or from the airport with our experiences partner under Experiences → Transfers.
View airport transfersPets, children and accessibility
Are pets allowed?
No. Pets are not allowed at any of our properties.
Are children welcome? Do they count as guests?
Yes, children are welcome; all underage guests must be included in the booking and guest registration. If you're travelling with a baby, please request a cot in advance.
Do you have accessible accommodation?
Some buildings have no lift. If you have accessibility needs, contact us before booking and we'll recommend the most suitable accommodation.
Invoices
How do I get my invoice?
Your invoice is emailed automatically after check-out. If you don't receive it, check your spam folder. If you still can't find it, email facturacion@nordikcompany.com with your booking number and tax details.
Can you issue proof of stay in someone else's name?
The confirmation is issued in the lead guest's name; everyone else is listed as a registered guest. If you need proof of stay for an administrative procedure, tell us what it's for and we'll prepare it for you.
Check-out
Can I check out after 10:00?
Usually not, as another guest is often arriving the same day. If you'd like to request it, contact us in advance and we'll check that day's schedule.
What should I do when I leave?
Let us know your departure time using the link we send you the day before, and make sure the door is securely closed. If you're unsure how to lock up, contact us.
I've left something behind. What should I do?
Message us on WhatsApp or email reservas@nordikcompany.com with your booking number and details of what you've left behind, and we'll check with the team.
What happens if something is damaged during my stay?
Our team checks the property and takes photos at every clean. If anything is damaged or missing, we'll notify you and provide evidence, and we may seek compensation under the booking terms. If something breaks accidentally, let us know: it's always best to tell us.
Nordik Tribe and gift cards
What is Nordik Tribe?
It's Nordik's free guest club: when you book directly, you get member rates (up to 10% off) and other benefits depending on your tier.
What membership tiers are there?
Joining is free. There are three tiers: Explorer (5%), Nomad (7%) and Wayfarer (10%). You become an Explorer when you join, a Nomad after 2 stays with Nordik and a Wayfarer after 3. Your tier's discount is always applied in full.
What cancellation benefits do members get?
Nordik Tribe members can cancel flexible-rate bookings free of charge up to 5 days before arrival.
How do gift cards work?
Gift cards can be used to book stays at Nordik properties (not trips or experiences). They cannot be exchanged for cash: any remaining balance is kept as credit for another booking. They are valid for 12 months from purchase.
Property owners
What does Nordik do for my property?
We handle all the day-to-day aspects of renting out your property: listings and bookings on platforms and our website, guest communication, guest registration, keyless access, cleaning, laundry, maintenance and resolving issues.
How does keyless access work?
Guests enter using smart locks with a code or digital key. We monitor their status remotely (battery and connection) and check them before every arrival.
How do you handle repairs and maintenance?
Every issue is logged as a task with photos and videos and added to the area's maintenance schedule. Urgent issues affecting a guest's stay are dealt with outside the regular schedule.
Will you consult me before spending money or carrying out work?
Yes. For major repairs or purchases, we'll send you the reason, details and an estimated cost, and we won't proceed without your approval. Renovation work is scheduled between bookings.
What happens if there's an incident covered by insurance?
We'll notify you by email with photos and, if you ask us to, handle the claim on your behalf and document everything.
What if a guest causes damage?
Our team documents the property's condition with photos at every clean. We use this evidence to submit a damage claim to the guest or platform within the relevant deadlines.
How will you keep me informed?
We'll update you by email and WhatsApp on what's happened, what's already been done and the next steps, with photos when needed.
Do you use reviews to improve my property?
Yes. We read every review and turn each specific complaint into an improvement task. If it involves a cost, we'll put the proposal to you first.
Can I use my property for a few days?
Yes. Tell us the dates and we'll block them in the calendar, send you the access codes and have the property ready for you.
How do I start working with Nordik?
