The service price includes the basic service as described for the specific accommodation unit from the booking. Special services are those that are not included in the accommodation price (indicated in the description of the accommodation by the expression "by agreement" or additional services that can be realized on the basis of a previous order) and which are therefore paid for separately by the traveler.

All prices that are offered in our programs are based on the contracts with our partners and do not have to correspond to the prices that are published locally in the object in which the traveler is accommodated, so a possible difference between the prices is no reason for can be a complaint.
