1. Making a Booking
1.1. The Guest may make a booking via the online booking system on the Accommodation Provider's website or in another manner approved by the Accommodation Provider.

1.6. The mere submission of a non-binding enquiry does not constitute an accommodation contract.
2. Price of the Stay
2.1. The price of the stay is stated in the booking process before the booking is bindingly completed.
2.2. Before completing the booking, the Guest receives a summary containing in particular:
- the price of accommodation,

- mandatory fees,

Unless stated otherwise in the specific offer or in the booking confirmation, the full price of the stay is payable in advance by the due date stated in the booking acknowledgement (as a rule within a few days of booking and no later than the day before arrival). For an individual offer, the Accommodation Provider may agree a different payment arrangement with the Guest, e.g. a deposit and payment of the balance before arrival.
3.3. Payment is made exclusively by bank transfer in euros (SEPA credit transfer) to the Accommodation Provider's account stated in the booking acknowledgement. The acknowledgement also contains an EPC QR code that can be scanned in a banking app. The Guest shall state the booking number as the payment reference.

Additional services ordered by the Guest during the stay (in particular cleaning during the stay, change of bed linen, late check-out and other services offered in the "Můj apartmán" (My apartment) app) are charged at the price stated for the service at the time of the order. By ordering a service, the Guest undertakes to pay its price.

10.8. Charges and contractual penalties under Art. 10.6 and 10.7 will be invoiced to the Guest by e-mail together with the additional services (Art. 3.8), stating the reason.
