3. Luggage transfer

Since our guesthouse has no reception and NO ONE is on site, NO luggage can be sent to the house. Therefore, please do not send luggage to the house to avoid unnecessary stress and inconvenience for everyone involved.

With Booking.com, you can cancel a booking within 3 hours if luggage transfer is important to you. You can send me a cancellation request within 8 hours of booking, which I will then cancel free of charge. After 8 hours, you will have received all the necessary information regarding your luggage, and the booking will be considered confirmed.

4. Bicycles in the house

Unfortunately, there is no space for your bicycles in the house, and with 7 people, it would be too cramped. You can see on Booking.com that there are NO bicycle storage spaces before booking.

Booking.com allows you to cancel a booking within 3 hours if luggage transfer is important to you. You can send me a cancellation request within 8 hours of booking, which I will then cancel free of charge. After 8 hours, you will have received all the necessary information regarding luggage, and the booking will be confirmed.

5. Cancellation / Date change

As previously announced, bookings CANNOT be cancelled, as we have different room occupancy models.

If a cancellation is requested up to 3 days before arrival, we will try to re-let the room. If a replacement booking is made by the original booking date, we will gladly cancel your booking. The same applies to changes to a different date. No changes are possible from 3 days before arrival! The same applies to date changes.
