If the Traveler requests a change of the accommodation unit in the same object and the change is possible, the Organizer will charge a handling fee of 25.00 EUR and any price difference. If the Traveler requests a change of the accommodation unit in another object, such change request will be considered as a cancellation.

In the event that the traveler wishes to postpone his booking to another date, the first change of this type will be charged 25 euros. This rule is valid only for the first change. In the event that the guest requests to shift the dates twice for the same booking, the fee will be calculated as a percentage of the booking value.

In case the guest wants to make a change in the booking within 48 hours before the consumption, and the change is possible, the Organizer will charge processing costs of 15 EUR and possible differences.

If the services listed in the offer have been provided incorrectly, the traveler is obliged to complain about the non-conforming service on the day of arrival and to inform the Organizer about it by e-mail [email protected]. The Traveler is obliged to cooperate in good faith with the Service Provider and the Organizer in eliminating the causes of his/her complaint. If the Traveler is dissatisfied with the situation found on the spot, leaves the object and finds a new accommodation on his own initiative, without having given the Organizer the opportunity to eliminate the causes of dissatisfaction or to find a substitute accommodation, this Traveler cannot claim a refund of the paid booking amount, as well as compensation for damages, without taking into account the fact that his reasons are justified or not.

If the problem has not been solved even after an intervention on the spot, the Traveler is obliged to send a written complaint together with the accompanying documents and photographs that clearly show the reason for the complaint to the Organizer by e-mail to [email protected] or by mail to your address no later than 8 days after returning from the vacation.

The Organizer is required to provide a written decision on the complaint within 14 days of receipt. The Organizer may extend the time period for making a decision on the grievance for an additional 14 days if further information and verification with the provider is necessary to make a decision on the grievance. The Organizer shall consider only those grievances that could not be resolved on the spot.

The highest possible compensation in case of a complaint is the refund of the agreed price for the complained service. The compensation does not include the already used services and not the total price of the arrangement. With the law on the provision of tourist services, the right of the traveler to compensation for ideal damage is excluded.
