The customer is free to prove that the aforementioned claim did not arise or did not arise in the required amount. In the case of a booked rate that includes an advance payment of 100% of the total stay and a right of withdrawal up to a contractually agreed date, the hotel reserves the right to withhold the deposit in full if the cancellation is not made in time. The same applies to non-use of the hotel’s services (no-show).
