GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR THE HOTEL ACCOMMODATION AGREEMENT
1. SCOPE
1.1 These terms and conditions apply to contracts for the rental of hotel rooms for accommodation as well as all other related services and supplies provided by the hotel to the customer (Hotel Accommodation Contract). The term "Hotel Accommodation Contract" includes and replaces the following: accommodation, guest accommodation, hotel, and hotel room contracts.
1.2 The subletting or further renting of the provided rooms as well as their use for purposes other than accommodation require the prior written consent of the hotel. § 540 para. 1 sentence 2 of the German Civil Code (BGB) is waived insofar as the customer is not a consumer.
1.3 Customer’s general terms and conditions shall only apply if expressly agreed in writing beforehand.
1.4 To comply with officially required pandemic measures, the hotel may unilaterally modify contractual services to protect all guests and staff. These include requirements such as wearing protective clothing, changes to food and beverage services, childcare, riding services, and access to facilities like pools or saunas. These changes do not affect the agreed price. All changes must be directly related to official COVID-19 measures and may be updated throughout the pandemic.
2. CONTRACT CONCLUSION, PARTIES, LIMITATION
2.1 The contract is concluded when the hotel accepts the customer’s booking request. The hotel may confirm the booking in writing.
2.2 If a third party books for the customer, they are jointly liable for all contractual obligations if the hotel receives a corresponding declaration.
