Both parties are under the obligation to perform their duties under the contract regardless of the duration of the contract. If the hotel fails to provide the reserved room, it is liable to the guest for damages. The guest undertakes to pay the agreed price even if he or she fails to make use of the reserved room. In the event of cancellation by 1st July 2011 a handling charge of EUR 25 will become due. After this date the hotel will charge additional cancellation fees.
