Cancellation Policy
Individual
You agree that Gästehaus Schmidt will charge $35 for any cancellation more than 14 days from your arrival date. Within 14 days, you agree that you are responsible for the complete reservation. Weather conditions are not a valid reason for cancellation. We highly recommend that you purchase trip insurance for your trip. The homeowner retains the right to police the number of guests in their Bed and Breakfast and have Gästehaus Schmidt charge accordingly. You agree that you will not hold a party or a wedding without written permission from the homeowner.
Changes on Reservations
If the number of guests decreases within 14 days of arrival, you agree to be responsible for them.
Group
Group cancellations must follow a slightly different set of rules. Groups constitute a reservation made by one individual or a business or group of other names that rents five or more units (suites, cottages, cabins, etc) for a specific date. One night’s deposit must be made the same day a group reservation is taken. The balance of the lodging charges must be paid at least 21 days prior to arrival. Gästehaus Schmidt will charge $35 per unit for any cancellation more than 21 days from your arrival date. Cancellations made within 21 days of arrival lose any deposit and must be paid in full. Group reservations must receive written permission from Gastehaus Schmidt and its homeowners if your group plans to gather at one location. Guests may be asked to leave if they do not have written permission for any such gatherings and/or be billed at an additional $250.00 per hour the party or gathering occurred.
Third-Party Reservations
If you book through a third-party reservation website, such as VRBO and Airbnb, you are bound by their cancellation policies. We have no leeway in their policies. Please contact the organization you used to make the reservation.
