Landhaus Bergner Alm

TERMS & CONDITIONS

We look forward to welcoming you as guests at the Landhaus Bergner Alm. Naturally like all accommodations, there are terms and conditions to booking a holiday with us, and house rules that need to be abided by when you're here on your holiday. Through the act of booking with us, directly or via any Online Travel Agent, you are agreeing to these terms and conditions and are thereby bound to these terms. Please read through these carefully & of course let us know if you have any questions on the information below - we'd be more than happy to help.

1. DEPOSITS AND CANCELLATIONS

Our standard cancellation policy applies to all standard bookings unless expressed otherwise as per Terms & Conditions Point 2.

When booking direct, our payment policy is to take a 30% deposit within 72 hours to secure your booking. Your booking is not secured until a deposit has been paid. This deposit is non-refundable.
Should a guest cancel more than 30 days before arrival, the deposit is non-refundable but the outstanding rest-payment is not due.
The rest-payment of 70% is due 30 days before the arrival date.
Should a guest cancel within 30 days of the arrival date, no refund is applicable and the full reservation amount is owed.
For last minute bookings made up to 14 days before arrival, payment is required in full on reservation, and is non refundable.
For Online Travel Agent bookings, refer to the cancellation policy outlined on the reservation confirmation.

2. COVID CLAUSE

Due to COVID-19 we are offering a more flexible COVID clause to our cancellation policy for holidays that take place in 2023. Note that this COVID-19 clause is applicable to bookings made directly with us only. For any bookings made via an Online Booking Portal, the cancellation policy of the booking portal in question is applicable. The COVID-19 clause is as follows:

Should a guest not be able to carry out their holiday with us due to the following two COVID-19 reasons only, the guest is entitled to a 50% refund of what the guest has already paid (either 50% of the paid deposit or 50% of the paid full amount): 1) The chalet is required to close due to a COVID-19 related lock-down, or; 2) The Austrian borders are closed and as a result, the guest cannot reach the chalet to complete their holiday. This is only applicable should the travel restriction be in place for the guest's booked holiday dates.
Should a cancellation be made for reasons outside of the above two mentioned COVID-19 reasons, our standard cancellation policy as outlined in the Terms & Conditions Point 1 applies.

3. CHANGED DATES

Once a deposit is made for certain holiday dates, these dates are considered final. Should you need to change your dates for unforeseen personal circumstances however, we allow one date change only per booking, at our discretion. The revised date is subject to availability. We reserve the right to decline date change requests. There is an admin charge of €30 per apartment to change these dates. This only applies should your notifying us of wishing to move your holiday date is received more than 30 days before your booked arrival date otherwise the standard cancellation policy applies as outlined in Point 1. Note that we only accommodate one date change per booking - should you not be able to attend your rescheduled holiday and therefor have to cancel, the full booking amount is due upon cancellation.

4. NO SHOWS & EARLY DEPARTURES

A no show for any reason (including inability to reach the chalet due to Force Majeure unless stated in Point 2) is charged at the full booking cost and no refund will be applicable.
