Cancellation, modification, deposit and refund conditions may vary depending on the reservation.
The applicable conditions will be provided before a booking is confirmed.
Guests should review these conditions carefully before accepting a reservation offer or making a payment.
Nothing in these terms affects any mandatory consumer rights that apply under relevant legislation.
