Villa charges guests by the night by the bed. You are not paying for a room–you are paying for whether your bed is in a private or shared room. Guests in your room will incur additional charges. 

Guests

You cannot have guests stay over without Villa’s knowledge. If you have a guest over, you must pay per night. Charges will be added to your room fees for all guests. (Guests do not pay Villa—they are added to your personal bill.) All guests must adhere to Villa’s policies. 

COVID 19

At this time, Villa International will only accept reservation requests from guests who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. You will be asked for documentation of vaccination at check-in. 

Age Restrictions

We welcome guests of all ages. Most of our guests are young professionals and scholars between 22 and 40. Guests under 18 are welcome but are required to have a parent or legal guardian present. Guests aged 16 and older will be charged rent.

Length of stay

We ask that guests request a reservation of a private room for no longer than six months. After six months guests are asked to share a room or find outside lodging. Villa is meant as a safe and friendly “landing space” for international guests traveling to Atlanta for work or study. Once you become familiar with the community, you will be expected to find permanent housing so that we can continue to welcome newcomers.

Room Availability

This online system is not connected to actual availability, so please complete a reservation request even if the room type you desire does not show as available. We work to accept as many reservations as possible. All requests will be confirmed within 3 business days OR we will email you regarding availability. Your room is not guaranteed until you receive a confirmation. 

CANCELLATION POLICY

Villa has a 72-hour cancellation policy. If you cancel with less than 3 days’ notice, a cancellation fee of up to $85 per night will be charged for up to 3 nights.

Harassment

Villa will not tolerate harassment by any person based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, religion, age, disability status, or for any other reason whatsoever. Harassment is defined as unwanted, unwelcomed, and uninvited behavior that demeans, threatens, or offends the victim and results in a hostile environment for the victim. Harassing behavior may include, but is not limited to:

  • Obscene or suggestive remarks, gestures, jokes, verbal abuse, or insults
  • Displays of explicit, offensive, or demeaning materials
  • Physical and/or verbal threats
  • Impeding or blocking movement, offensive touching, or any physical interference with normal activity
  • Any perceived form of harassment via any electronic device
Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and/or verbal or physical contact of a sexual nature. The victim as well as the harasser may be a woman or a man. The victim does not have to be of the opposite sex.

Villa strives to maintain an environment where guests can work and live free of harassment. In keeping with this policy, sexual harassment is specifically strictly forbidden. Any concerns should be brought to the attention of the director or front desk manager.

Any guest or participant who violates any part of this Code is subject to discipline, up to and including being asked to leave an activity, not being allowed to participate in future Villa activities, or being expelled from Villa all together.

Parents are responsible for any damage caused by children to any Villa property. If you bring a child to live at Villa, you will be asked to sign a waiver upon arrival.
