General Terms
Subject of contract
These terms and conditions govern the legal relationship between you and the Alexander Guesthouse. Our confirmation of your reservation or booking, which will be sent to you by post or e-mail, serves as basis thereof.
Cancellations of Guesthouse reservations
If you have made a reservation for a room without a guarantee by means of a credit card, we will keep the room reserved for you until 4:00 p.m. of your arrival date.
Should you fail to turn up after 4:00 p.m, the Alexander Guesthouse will automatically be entitled to void your reservation and offer the room in question to other customers.
If you have guaranteed your reservation by means of your credit card, yet decide to not make use of the reservation, we request you to cancel it at least 24 hours before the day of arrival. For late cancellation or default of appearance (no show), late arrival or earlier than scheduled departure, one night's rate will be charged as a matter of principle. If we are able to occupy the room, we will, as a matter of course, abstain from billing.
For reservations made via a tour operator, the pertaining conditions for reservations and cancellations apply as indicated. If upon making the reservation online a wrong credit card number is entered, we would consider the reservation as not guaranteed.
Cancellations of reservations for groups or more than 6 persons
We request you kindly inform us in writing of essential modifications with regard to your reservation as soon as possible. If, due to reasons beyond our responsibility, the reservation is completely cancelled, the following flat charge for cancellations will be charged as a matter of principle:
- 30 to 15 days prior to arrival = 25% of the total invoice
- 14 to 5 days prior to arrival = 50% of the total invoice
- 4 to 0 days prior to arrival= 100% of the total invoice
