General Terms and Conditions

We will make every effort to make your stay as pleasant as possible. This also means that you know exactly what services we provide, what we are responsible for and what obligations you have towards us. Therefore, please note the following general terms and conditions, which govern the contractual relationship between you and us and which you recognise with your booking.

1.  The contractual partners are the hotel and the guest. The contract is concluded when the hotel accepts the guest’s application. The hotel is free to confirm the room booking in text form.

2. If a hotel room/function room is ordered, confirmed or made available, a guest accommodation contract/rental contract is concluded.

3. The contract for a hotel room includes accommodation and breakfast. The contract for function rooms only includes the use of the function room. The agreed fee is the applicable daily rate.

4. The subletting or re-letting of function rooms, exhibition or advertising space requires the written authorisation of the hotel.

5. The conclusion of the guest accommodation contract/rental contract obliges both contracting parties to fulfil the agreed contractual contents. Unilateral cancellation or termination of the contract is only possible within the framework of the statutory provisions, in particular in the event of reasons that make continuation of the contract unreasonable or make fulfilment of the contract impossible due to force majeure.

6. Optional reservations will not be made. Our offers are subject to a different allocation.

7. If advance payments requested by the hotel are not made by the requested date, this shall immediately release the hotel from any contractual agreements made.

Departures later than 10.30 a.m. must be arranged with reception the evening before and are subject to a charge: half the room rate may be charged for departures before 3 p.m. and the full room rate may be charged for departures after 3 p.m. 9.

9. Room reservations are held until 18:00, after which they are released for sale. Exceptions are guaranteed bookings.

10. Booked function rooms are only available to the contractual partner at the agreed times. Any use beyond this requires prior agreement with the hotel.

11. The contractual partner has no claim to specific chalet suites/function rooms.

13. The following cancellation conditions apply to cancellations of booked chalet suites, function rooms, all-inclusive arrangements and conference packages:

The following conditions apply to cancellations of booked chalet suites:

Up to 6 weeks (42 days) before arrival: Free cancellation possible.

From 41 days to 1 day before arrival: 50% of the agreed accommodation price will be charged.

In the event of early departure/non-arrival (no-show): 100 % of the agreed accommodation price will be charged.

We recommend that guests/contractual partners take out travel cancellation insurance to protect themselves against cancellation costs.

Cancellation of function rooms, complete rentals, all-inclusive arrangements and conference packages will be charged:

Up to 6 months before the event – cancellation free of charge

Up to 60 days before the event – 50 per cent of the booked service

From 59 days before the event – 100 per cent of the booked service

Due to reduced, previously contractually agreed services, the hotel may withdraw special prices, agree new ones or withdraw from the contract without replacement, as revenue guarantees are not achieved.

The hotel reserves the right to charge a corresponding percentage surcharge on the agreed accommodation price as a result of unforeseeable, significant price increases by suppliers, significant increases in electricity or gas prices, significant increases in labour costs, e.g. due to legally mandated measures that were not foreseeable at the time of the offer or booking, or significant increases in inflation.

14. For all group bookings, the hotel must receive a list of participants seven working days prior to arrival.

15. If the customer is not also the organiser, both are jointly and severally liable.

16. The hotel is entitled to withdraw from the contract extraordinarily for objectively justified reasons. Objectively justified reasons exist in particular if:

  1. Rooms or rooms were culpably booked with misleading or false information or concealment of material facts. Material facts include, in particular, the identity of the customer, solvency or the purpose of the stay.
  2. The hotel has reasonable grounds to assume that the utilisation of the service:
    • Significantly impairs the smooth running of the business, jeopardizes the safety of hotel guests or employees, or
    • could cause lasting damage to the hotel’s public reputation, without this being attributable to the hotel’s sphere of influence.
    • The purpose or reason for the stay violates applicable law.

There is a breach of the provisions of Section 1.2 above.
In the event of a justified cancellation, the customer shall not be entitled to claim damages unless the hotel has caused the cancellation intentionally or through gross negligence.
17. Newspaper adverts containing the hotel’s details for invitations to sales events and job interviews, or the use of the name Chiemsee Chalet for advertising measures by the contractual partner, shall generally require the hotel’s prior written consent.

18. In the case of communal meals (menus and buffets), the organiser must inform the hotel of the exact number of participants three working days before the start of the event. This number is deemed to be the guaranteed minimum number and will be charged to the organiser by the hotel in any case.

1. If, due to regulations, general decrees or administrative acts to combat or prevent the spread of the coronavirus or similar serious reasons of force majeure (external circumstances for which the hotel is not responsible), the hotel cannot be operated in whole or in part and corresponding services cannot be used by the guest, there is no breach of duty for which the hotel is responsible. This shall apply irrespective of the date of issue of the ordinance, general ruling and administrative act. The hotel undertakes to inform the guest of the commencement and expected period of validity of such an administrative act. Ordinances and general decrees applicable to the hotel shall be announced and published by the legislator. In the event that the hotel is prevented from fulfilling its contractual obligations for the aforementioned reasons, the hotel is entitled, without compensation, to adjust its hotel offer in accordance with the applicable legal framework, which may only be refused for good cause. If this is not possible or reasonable for the hotel or unreasonable for the guest or is refused for a valid reason, both parties are entitled to cancel the stay free of charge. If hotel operations are prohibited in their entirety, the hotel is entitled to offer the guest an alternative travel date. If the parties are unable to agree on an alternative date, both parties are entitled to cancel the contract in question free of charge by means of a declaration in text form.
