4. Changes to Reservation

The Guest may request changes to reservation dates. Changes are not possible if 30 days or fewer remain before the start of the reservation. Changes may affect the price depending on seasonal rates.

Non-refundable bookings are not eligible for any refund regardless of timing.
If the Guest does not arrive (no-show), no refund will be given.

Special Note on Epidemics and Pandemics. These cancellation terms also apply during epidemics or pandemics, including possible travel restrictions. By making a reservation, the Guest acknowledges that airlines may cancel or reschedule flights due to such circumstances. This is not considered a force majeure event, as it is foreseeable. We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance.

Double booking: If two reservations are made for the same property and dates, the reservation made first will remain valid. The later booking will be cancelled and fully refunded.
Pricing errors: If the listed price clearly differs from the intended correct price, the Host reserves the right to void the booking. The Guest may be offered the correct rate as an alternative.

In all cases of cancellation by the Host, the Guest will be informed immediately and refunded promptly. The Host has no obligation to arrange alternative accommodation.
