What Happens If You Cancel Closer to Arrival?
We understand last-minute changes are sometimes unavoidable. If you cancel within 20 days of your scheduled arrival—or depart earlier than planned—the following charges apply:
- 20–8 days before arrival: 50% of the total booked stay
- 7 days before arrival or no-show: 100% of the total booked stay
This structure keeps things clear and predictable, helping you assess your options quickly if plans shift late in the game.

Our 21-day free cancellation policy applies in both summer and winter seasons.

You’ll find clear, per-person daily rates and helpful information to plan the dates that fit you best.
Deposits: Refund or Credit for a Future Stay
If you cancel in time (21 or more days before arrival), your deposit will either be refunded or credited to you for a future stay—just let us know which you prefer. This flexibility means you won’t lose your deposit if life calls you elsewhere; you can simply move your getaway to a better date.
Trip Cancellation Insurance: Extra Peace of Mind
Even the most careful plans can meet the unexpected. We recommend taking out trip cancellation insurance for financial protection in case your arrival is delayed, your stay isn’t taken up, or you need to cut it short. With our trip cancellation insurance you are financially covered; cancellation charges can be redeemed. You are covered by the Europäische Reiseversicherung's travel insurance.
This layer of protection works alongside our 21-day free cancellation policy, helping reduce risk across the full timeline of your trip.
