Terms and Conditions for Hotel Sønderborg Kaserne / Castra ApS
Version: 21 October 2026. This version applies from publication. Reservations already confirmed remain subject to the terms that applied when they were booked.
These Terms and Conditions apply to reservations, stays, hotel rooms, group bookings, add-ons and other services offered, managed or provided by:
Castra ApS / Hotel Sønderborg Kaserne
CVR No.: 39896893
Gerlachsgade 8
6400 Sønderborg
Denmark
E-mail: info@hotelsonderborgkaserne.dk
Website: www.hotelsonderborgkaserne.dk
In these Terms and Conditions, Castra ApS / Hotel Sønderborg Kaserne is referred to as “the hotel”, “we”, “us” or “Hotel Sønderborg Kaserne”. The person, company, public authority or organisation making the reservation or using the stay is referred to as “the guest”, “the customer” or “the booker”.
These Terms and Conditions apply unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, or unless other terms clearly appear from the booking confirmation, booking channel or a separate group or corporate agreement.
1. Scope
These Terms and Conditions apply to all reservations and stays at Hotel Sønderborg Kaserne, including individual hotel reservations, corporate bookings, group bookings, third-party bookings, add-ons and other hotel-related services.
Hotel Sønderborg Kaserne provides hotel rooms for temporary accommodation. A hotel stay does not constitute a residential tenancy under Danish tenancy legislation.
By making a booking, the guest accepts these Terms and Conditions, the specific terms stated in the booking confirmation, the hotel’s House Rules, parking rules, access instructions, guestbook, PDF guide, instructional video and other information sent before or during the stay.
If there is any inconsistency between these Terms and Conditions and the specific booking confirmation, the specific booking confirmation shall apply to the relevant reservation.
2. Booking and confirmation
A reservation is binding once the hotel, booking system or booking channel used has sent a written booking confirmation, booking reference or other confirmation to the guest.
When making a booking, the guest must provide correct and complete information, including:
full name
address
e-mail address
mobile phone number including country code
nationality, if requested
arrival and departure date
number of guests
payment information
any special needs, such as accessible room, accessibility requirements, allergies or similar matters
The guest is responsible for ensuring that the contact details provided are correct and functional during the trip. Missing, incorrect or hidden contact details may mean that access information, payment links, parking links or practical information cannot be delivered in time. This shall not be considered a defect in the stay.
Reservations may only be made by persons aged 18 or above. The person making the reservation is responsible for all persons covered by the reservation, including minors, accompanying guests, visitors and other guests.
The hotel may require valid identification, payment card, deposit or other security before or during the stay. If the guest is unable or unwilling to provide the required information, identification or payment, the hotel may refuse check-in without refund if the conditions for the stay have not been fulfilled.
3. Self-service hotel and digital access
Hotel Sønderborg Kaserne may operate as a self-service hotel with keyless access and without a traditional staffed reception.
The guest will normally receive all necessary information digitally, including PDF guide, instructional video, guestbook, access instructions, parking information, breakfast information and other practical information.
The guest is responsible for reading all information sent before arrival. Failure to read the information provided, failure to use the guestbook or misunderstandings caused by the guest not following the instructions sent will generally not entitle the guest to a refund, price reduction or compensation.
On the day of arrival, access information is normally sent by e-mail and/or SMS once the reservation, payment and required contact details have been correctly registered. Access codes are normally activated from the stated check-in time and deactivated at check-out.
If access information has not been received by 12:00 noon on the day of arrival, the guest must immediately contact the hotel in writing with full name, booking number, direct e-mail address and mobile phone number including country code.
4. Reservations made through third parties
If the reservation has been made through a third party, such as Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com, Agoda, Amadeus, Airbnb, a travel agency, corporate booking platform or other external booking channel, the terms of that booking channel apply to changes, cancellation, payment and refunds.
Changes, cancellation, shortening of the stay, refund requests or booking errors must be handled through the channel where the reservation was made.
As a general rule, the hotel cannot directly change, cancel or refund third-party reservations if the agreement, payment or booking terms are administered by the third party.
If the third party does not provide the guest’s e-mail address, phone number, nationality or other necessary information, the guest is responsible for immediately sending this information to the hotel. Without correct information, the hotel cannot guarantee that access information and practical information can be sent in time.
When booking through a third party, the guest is still required to comply with the hotel’s House Rules, parking rules, access rules and all other stay conditions.
5. Prices
All prices are stated in Danish kroner, DKK, including VAT and any mandatory service charges, unless otherwise clearly stated.
Prices are dynamic and may vary depending on date, demand, length of stay, room type, number of guests, booking channel and availability.
The price stated in the final booking confirmation applies to the specific reservation. However, the hotel reserves the right to correct obvious pricing errors, technical errors, currency errors, system errors or errors in third-party systems. If there is an obvious error, the hotel may cancel the reservation or offer the guest the option to complete the reservation at the correct price.
If public taxes, charges, tourist taxes, environmental fees, VAT or other statutory fees change after booking, the hotel reserves the right to adjust the price accordingly, to the extent permitted by law.
6. Payment, payment cards and security
Payment must be made in accordance with the selected rate, booking channel and booking confirmation.
The hotel may require:
prepayment
payment card guarantee
deposit
payment via payment link
bank transfer
EAN/invoice subject to prior written approval
other payment security
Access codes, key information or access to the hotel room may be withheld until payment, deposit, required guest information and any payment guarantees have been received and approved.
By making a booking, the guest accepts that the hotel may charge or subsequently collect payment for the reservation, add-ons, parking services, extra guests, damages, missing inventory, breach of House Rules, extra cleaning, late check-out, smoking fee, pet fee, eviction, unpaid services and other documented claims arising in connection with the stay.
The guest also accepts that the hotel may charge the payment card used for the reservation, or otherwise invoice the guest, for standard fees and documented additional costs caused by breach of these Terms and Conditions or the hotel’s House Rules.
The standard fees stated in these Terms and Conditions do not limit the hotel’s right to claim higher documented costs if the hotel’s actual loss, cleaning costs, repair costs, replacement costs, security costs, technical costs, relocation costs, lost rental income or other documented expenses exceed the standard fee.
The hotel may reserve an amount on the guest’s payment card as security. Release of reserved amounts depends on the card issuer and the guest’s bank.
In the event of late payment, the hotel may charge interest, reminder fees, debt collection costs and other costs in accordance with applicable Danish law.
Payment by foreign cards, company cards or certain payment methods may incur fees if permitted under applicable law.
7. Invoice and company payment
Invoices are generally issued based on the information provided at booking, payment or in the guestbook.
If the guest has booked through a third party, the invoice or receipt will be issued based on the information the hotel receives from the third party and/or the information the guest has entered in the hotel’s guestbook.
If the invoice must be issued to a company, public authority, EAN, specific CVR number or other payer, the correct invoice information must be provided in writing before check-out and preferably when first logging into the guestbook.
The hotel is not responsible for incorrect invoice information caused by the guest providing incorrect information to the booking channel, third party or guestbook.
Changes to invoices after the stay may involve longer processing time and can only be made if accounting and legal requirements allow it.
Payment by EAN, invoice or credit is only granted by prior written agreement. Public institutions may, by agreement, be offered 30-day payment terms.
8. Cancellation and changes for direct bookings
Cancellation and change terms depend on the selected rate, booking type and booking confirmation.
Unless otherwise stated in the booking confirmation or a separate written agreement, the following applies to direct bookings made through the hotel’s own channels:
1-2 rooms
The cancellation deadline and any cancellation charge depend on the selected rate and are stated in the booking portal and booking confirmation. Cancellation must be made in writing before the deadline applicable to the specific reservation. For later cancellation, no-show or failure to arrive, payment is charged according to that reservation’s specific terms. Check both the date and the time in your booking confirmation.
3-9 rooms
May be cancelled in writing no later than 14 days before arrival, unless otherwise agreed. In case of later cancellation, the hotel may charge the full amount or the documented loss.
More than 9 rooms
Bookings of more than 9 rooms, meaning 10 rooms or more, are considered group bookings, regardless of whether the reservation is made as one booking or divided into several reservations for the same period, same company, same group or same purpose.
For bookings of more than 9 rooms, the hotel may require a deposit of 30% of the total reservation amount at the time of booking. The reservation is only finally confirmed once the deposit has been received, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
The remaining amount for group bookings must generally be paid no later than 14 days before arrival, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
For group bookings, the following cancellation deadlines apply unless otherwise stated in a separate group agreement:
10-30 rooms: no later than 6 weeks before arrival
31 or more rooms: no later than 3 months before arrival
In case of later cancellation, reduction in the number of rooms, change of date or shortening of the stay, the hotel may charge the full amount or the documented loss.
Changes to date, length of stay, number of guests or room type may result in a changed price. Changes are only valid when confirmed in writing by the hotel.
The hotel is not obliged to accept changes after the cancellation deadline, after check-in or after the stay has commenced.
9. Non-refundable bookings, campaign offers and special rates
Reservations marked as “non-refundable”, “prepaid”, “campaign rate”, “special offer”, “event stay”, “special rate” or similar cannot be changed, cancelled or refunded, unless otherwise expressly stated in the booking confirmation or required by mandatory law.
For non-refundable reservations, the full amount is normally charged at the time of booking or shortly thereafter. The amount will not be refunded in case of illness, transport problems, incorrect date, changed plans, no-show, late arrival, unused stay or other circumstances relating to the guest.
The guest is advised to take out relevant travel or cancellation insurance.
10. No statutory right of withdrawal
When booking hotel accommodation for a specific date or period, there is generally no statutory 14-day right of withdrawal.
The guest’s right to cancel, change or receive a refund therefore depends on the specific rate, booking confirmation, booking channel terms and these Terms and Conditions.
11. No-show, late arrival and failure to check in
If the guest does not arrive on the arrival date and has not agreed otherwise in writing with the hotel, the reservation is considered a no-show.
In case of no-show, the hotel may charge the full amount of the reservation, and the guest is not entitled to a refund.
If the guest expects a very late arrival, the guest must ensure that payment, contact details and access information are in order before arrival.
Failure to complete check-in or failure to use the stay does not entitle the guest to a refund.
12. Binding stay after check-in
Once the guest has received an access code, gained access to the hotel room or otherwise commenced the stay, the reservation is considered commenced and binding for the entire booked period.
In case of early departure, shortening of the stay, non-use of individual nights or a request to shorten the stay after check-in, no full or partial refund will generally be granted.
This also applies if the guest has booked through a third party, unless the third party’s terms or mandatory law provide otherwise.
13. Check-in and check-out
Unless otherwise stated in the booking confirmation, the following applies:
Check-in is available from 15:00 on the day of arrival.
Check-out must take place no later than 10:00 on the day of departure.
Access codes are activated and deactivated automatically according to the applicable times.
Early check-in and late check-out are only possible if ordered and paid for in advance through the guestbook or otherwise agreed in writing. This depends on availability and the cleaning schedule.
The standard fee for agreed early check-in or late check-out is DKK 100, unless otherwise stated.
At check-out, the guest must leave the hotel room on time, close doors and windows, switch off lights and appliances, leave key cards/access chips according to instructions and ensure that the room is left in a generally tidy condition.
If the check-out time is not respected without prior written agreement, the hotel is entitled to charge payment for one additional night at the applicable daily rate. This applies regardless of the reason for the delayed departure, as the delay may prevent cleaning, preparation and access for the next guest.
The hotel may also charge documented additional costs, including extra cleaning, security guard, technician, relocation of the next guest, lost resale, access system costs or other costs caused by late check-out.
14. Rooms, facilities and special requests
The reservation covers the room or category type stated in the booking confirmation.
Photos, floor plans and descriptions are indicative. Layout, view, floor, furniture, bed setup, accessibility, balcony and other details may vary within the same category.
Special requests, such as a specific room, floor, view, bed setup, step-free access, balcony or location close to the entrance, may be noted but cannot be guaranteed unless the hotel has confirmed the request in writing as part of the reservation.
If the guest requires step-free access, an accessible room or special accessibility conditions, this must be stated before booking. The guest must book the relevant category if such a category exists. The hotel is not responsible if an ordinary category does not meet special accessibility needs when the need has not been disclosed and confirmed in writing.
Hotel Sønderborg Kaserne is located in an existing building, and stairs, level differences, building-related variations and technical conditions may occur. Such conditions do not constitute a defect if they are normal for the property and do not materially deviate from what has been disclosed.
There is no guest elevator at Hotel Sønderborg Kaserne. Guests with reduced mobility or guests who need step-free or easier access should book an accessible room category where available and must inform the hotel before arrival.
15. Number of guests, children, extra beds and unregistered guests
The number of guests must not exceed the number stated in the reservation.
It is not permitted to allow more persons to access, use or stay overnight in the hotel room than booked, regardless of whether there is a sofa, extra space or any other possibility in the room.
Unregistered persons may not stay overnight in the hotel room. The guest may not bring or allow extra guests into the hotel room without the hotel’s prior written approval.
If the guest brings, allows access to or accommodates one or more persons who are not included in the reservation, the hotel may charge DKK 995 per extra or unregistered guest per night or per incident. This applies regardless of whether the extra person uses a bed, sofa, floor space, bathroom, breakfast, towels or other hotel facilities.
The extra guest fee does not give the guest a right to additional beds, bedding, breakfast, towels or increased room capacity unless this has been expressly approved by the hotel in writing.
Children aged 3 and above count as guests/adults for capacity purposes unless otherwise stated by the booking channel. Extra bedding requires prior booking and payment.
Children aged 0–2 may generally sleep in the parents’ bed without separate payment if this is possible in the specific room type. A baby cot may be ordered, if offered, against payment. The standard price for a baby cot is DKK 100 per stay, unless otherwise stated.
Violation of the rules regarding the number of guests may result in additional charges, eviction without refund and payment for extra cleaning, wear and tear, damages or other costs.
The person who made the reservation is responsible for all persons covered by the reservation and for any unregistered persons or visitors given access to the hotel room or hotel property.
16. Breakfast and add-ons
Breakfast is generally included in the room price at Hotel Sønderborg Kaserne, unless otherwise clearly stated in the reservation.
Breakfast is served in the designated breakfast area or neighbouring building according to the times stated in the hotel’s guest information.
The guest must read the PDF guide, instructional video and guestbook sent by the hotel for practical information about breakfast, directions to the breakfast area, opening hours and any special conditions.
Extra guests for breakfast who are not covered by the reservation must be ordered and paid for separately. The standard price for extra breakfast is DKK 100 per person, unless otherwise stated.
Allergies and special dietary requirements must be stated in writing well in advance of arrival. The hotel will attempt to accommodate reasonable requests but cannot guarantee special dietary requirements unless confirmed in writing.
Baby cot, early check-in, late check-out, parking, extra bedding, bicycle storage and other add-ons are only included if stated in the booking confirmation or separately ordered and paid for.
17. House Rules
The guest must treat the room, building, common areas, neighbours, staff and other guests with respect.
The following is not permitted:
smoking
pets or animals
parties
noisy behaviour
more guests than booked
access to or overnight stays by unregistered persons
illegal activities
commercial use without written agreement
harassment, threats or violence
use of open fire
blocking escape routes
tampering with smoke alarms, fire equipment, locks, cameras or technical installations

leaving, placing or dumping waste in the car park, by the property, in common areas, by neighbouring properties or anywhere not designated for waste
Quiet hours are generally from 22:00 to 07:00. During this period, special consideration must be shown to neighbours, other guests and the surroundings.
The hotel may evict guests who violate the House Rules without refund.
Standard fees for breach of House Rules include, but are not limited to:
Extra or unregistered guest: DKK 995 per guest per night or per incident
Smoking: DKK 2,000 per incident
Pets or animals: DKK 2,000 per incident
Deliberate waste dumping or grossly irresponsible waste disposal: DKK 2,500 per incident
Bicycles, e-bikes or scooters brought indoors in breach of the rules: DKK 1,000 per item
Late check-out without prior written agreement: one additional night at the applicable daily rate
These fees do not limit the hotel’s right to claim higher documented costs if the hotel’s actual costs or losses are higher.
18. Smoking
All rooms, balconies, terraces, common areas, entrances, staircases, corridors, windows, doorways and indoor areas are strictly non-smoking, unless a specific smoking area has been expressly designated in writing.
The smoking ban applies regardless of whether doors or windows are open. Smoking is not permitted on balconies, terraces or immediately outside windows, doors or entrances if smoke, smell or residue can enter the room, building or common areas, or disturb other guests, neighbours or staff.
The smoking ban includes cigarettes, cigars, pipes, e-cigarettes, vapes, hookahs, cannabis and any other form of smoking, smoke, vapour or similar product.
In case of violation, a smoking and cleaning fee of DKK 2,000 per incident will be charged.
The hotel may also charge any additional documented costs caused by the smoking or smoke-related breach, including but not limited to extra cleaning, odour removal, textile cleaning, ozone treatment, replacement of inventory, blocked room sales, lost rental income, technician costs, fire watch, security guard, service provider costs or relocation of other guests.
If smoking, vapour, smoke residue, tampering with fire equipment or other guest behaviour triggers a fire alarm, the guest is liable for all costs relating to the fire brigade, security guard, technician, service company and other related costs. Fire brigade costs may amount to approximately DKK 7,000 or more depending on the specific charge.
Tampering with smoke detectors, sensors, sprinklers, fire doors, fire equipment or emergency exits is considered a material breach and may result in immediate eviction without refund and police report.
19. Pets and animals
Pets and animals are not allowed at Hotel Sønderborg Kaserne.
This includes dogs, cats, birds and all other animals, regardless of size, breed or length of stay.
In case of violation, a pet/animal cleaning fee of DKK 2,000 per incident will be charged.
The hotel may also charge any additional documented costs caused by the animal, including but not limited to extra cleaning, allergy treatment, odour removal, textile cleaning, replacement of inventory, damage repair, pest treatment, blocked room sales, lost rental income, relocation of other guests or other documented costs.
The guest may also be evicted without refund.
Relevant legislation applies to assistance and service dogs. Inform the hotel in writing before arrival if you need to bring an assistance or service dog so that practical arrangements and any relevant documentation can be clarified in accordance with applicable rules.
20. Parties, events and commercial use
Hotel rooms and common areas may only be used for ordinary hotel accommodation in accordance with the purpose of the reservation.
It is not permitted to hold parties, receptions, events, dinners with unregistered guests, photoshoots, film recordings, livestreams, commercial productions, sales meetings, treatments, clinic activities, escort services, prostitution, illegal activities or other commercial use without the hotel’s prior written consent.
Unauthorised commercial use or use contrary to the purpose of the reservation is considered a material breach and may result in immediate termination of the stay, eviction without refund and liability for damages.
21. Bicycles, electric scooters, prams and fire routes
For fire safety and free passage reasons, bicycles, e-bikes, scooters, prams, luggage or other items must not be placed in stairwells, corridors, escape routes, indoor common areas or other areas where they may block passage.
Bicycles, e-bikes and electric scooters must not be brought into hotel rooms or indoor common areas.
If bicycles, electric scooters or similar items are brought indoors contrary to the rules, the hotel may charge a fee of DKK 1,000 per bicycle/item as well as any costs for removal, cleaning, damages or fire safety handling.
The separate locked bicycle room is in operation and is an optional add-on costing DKK 100 per bicycle per stay. Email the hotel with your booking reference, stay dates and number of bicycles no later than the day before arrival, so the booking can be confirmed and access instructions provided.
22. Parking
Parking is only allowed in designated parking spaces and in accordance with the rules stated on signs, in the guestbook, PDF guide, parking link and/or the parking company’s terms.
When parking on hotel grounds, you must register your number plate using the link in your arrival email. The guest is responsible for registering the correct number plate, period and parking product. This registration does not apply to municipal or other car parks in the area; local signs and the rules for the individual car park must be followed there.
The hotel’s parking area is operated by a third party. The parking company is responsible for parking control, charges and processing parking fines. The hotel cannot cancel parking fines issued by a third party. If the guest believes a charge is incorrect, they must follow the appeal instructions and deadlines on the notice and contact the issuer. Questions about third-party apps such as EasyPark or OK must be directed to the relevant provider; the hotel does not provide support for these apps.
The guest must keep the receipt or registration confirmation. If the guest has not received confirmation, the registration may not have been completed correctly.
Premium parking, video-monitored parking or parking close to the hotel may be included for direct bookings made through the hotel’s own website, but the licence plate must still be registered correctly.
For reservations made through third-party booking channels, including Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com and similar platforms, premium parking is normally an add-on and must be ordered, paid for and registered via the designated link or guestbook, unless the specific reservation clearly states that parking is included.
The standard price for premium parking may be DKK 50 per vehicle per day, unless otherwise stated in the guestbook, booking confirmation or parking information.
Free public parking may be available near the hotel, but such parking is subject to local signs, local rules and availability.
The fire access road in front of the hotel, escape routes and entrances must always be kept clear. Parking or loading and unloading on the fire access road is not permitted. Brief loading and unloading is only permitted in a lawful, designated place where the signs allow it, without obstructing access.
Trailer, extra vehicle, motorcycle, van or vehicles with several licence plates require separate registration according to the applicable parking rules.
Parking areas must not be used for storage, placement or disposal of waste, bottles, packaging, furniture, electronics, building materials, food waste or other items.
If a guest or persons connected to the guest’s reservation deliberately leave or dump waste in the parking area, by the property or on adjoining areas, the hotel may charge a clean-up and administration fee of DKK 2,500 per incident. The hotel may also charge documented additional costs for clean-up, removal, cleaning, sanitation, security guard, camera/access review, pest control or lost rental income.
23. Electric vehicle charging
Electric vehicle charging may be available through an external operator, app or payment solution. Spaces generally cannot be reserved unless separately agreed.
Use of chargers is subject to the operator’s terms and prices. The hotel is not responsible for operational interruptions, price changes, app problems, occupied chargers or errors by an external operator.
It is not permitted to charge vehicles, e-bikes, electric scooters or larger batteries using ordinary sockets in hotel rooms or common areas unless the hotel has expressly given written permission.
24. Cleaning, linen and condition on departure
Hotel rooms are delivered cleaned and with linen/towels if this is included in the reservation.
Hang the housekeeping sign outside your room before 07:00, and the room will be refreshed during your stay.
Final cleaning generally means ordinary cleaning after normal use. Final cleaning does not include extraordinary cleaning, including but not limited to:
food waste
waste left outside designated areas
smoke or animal odour
urine, vomit, blood or other bodily fluids
make-up, hair dye, oil, wine, wax, glitter, confetti or similar on textiles/inventory
heavily soiled bathrooms
moving furniture back
removal of large amounts of packaging, bottles or waste
sanitation after pets, smoking, parties or unregistered guests
Extraordinary cleaning, sanitation or clean-up will be charged according to actual time spent, external costs and any lost rental income.
The guest may not remove linen, towels, duvets, pillows, electronics, decorations, furniture or other items from the hotel room. Missing or damaged items will be charged at replacement cost plus any administration and installation costs.
If the room cannot be resold because of the guest’s breach of the House Rules, including smoking, pets, damage, excessive dirt, odour or late departure, the hotel may charge the guest for lost rental income and other documented costs.
25. Damages, responsibility, standard fees and additional costs
The guest is liable for all damages, losses, defects, extra cleaning, missing items and other costs caused by the guest, fellow travellers, visitors, children, animals, unregistered persons or other persons to whom the guest has given access.
This includes, among other things, damage to:
buildings
doors, windows and locks
furniture
beds and mattresses
textiles
floors and walls
electronics
bathroom
fire safety equipment
access systems
common areas
parking areas
neighbours’ or other guests’ property
Damage must be reported to the hotel in writing immediately. Failure to report damage may increase the guest’s liability if the damage worsens or cannot be remedied in time.
The hotel may document damage, breaches of House Rules and additional costs with photos, video from common areas, access logs, cleaning reports, service reports, security statements, technician invoices, supplier invoices, correspondence or other relevant documentation.
The standard fees stated in these Terms and Conditions are minimum standard charges for specific breaches. If the hotel’s documented costs, loss or damage exceed the standard fee, the hotel may claim the higher documented amount.
The person who made the reservation is liable for all amounts and claims connected with the reservation.
26. Access by staff and the hotel to rooms
The hotel respects the guest’s privacy. However, employees, cleaning staff, service staff, technicians, security guards or representatives of the hotel may access hotel rooms when necessary.
This may include:
cleaning
scheduled service
technical problems
acute damage
water leakage
fire alarm
suspicion of smoking, pets, party or illegal activity
safety or security issues
investigation of breach of House Rules
preparation for the next guest
suspicion that the guest has not left the room on time
In urgent or safety-related situations, access may take place without prior notice.
27. Security, video surveillance and access systems
The hotel property may have video surveillance at entrances, access routes, common areas, parking areas, courtyards, staircases, corridors and other common areas for security, access control, crime prevention, documentation of damages, waste dumping, unauthorised access and breaches of House Rules.
There is no video surveillance inside the hotel rooms.
There is also no video surveillance in bathrooms, private living areas or any other private areas inside the room. The hotel’s video surveillance is limited to common areas, access areas, parking areas and other areas outside the actual hotel rooms.
Any digital access logs from door locks, access codes or keyless access are not video surveillance, but may be used to document access times, security matters, technical issues, misuse of access codes or breaches of the hotel’s rules.
Information about video surveillance is provided through signage, guest information, these Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy or other clear information before or upon arrival.
The guest must not cover, move, remove, tamper with or damage cameras, access systems, locks, door closers, fire equipment, alarm systems, sensors or technical installations.
Violation may result in eviction without refund as well as a claim for repair, replacement, security guard, technician and other documented costs.
Access codes, key cards and access links are personal and must not be shared with unauthorised persons. The guest is liable for misuse if the guest shares access information or allows unauthorised persons to gain access.
28. Internet, TV, heating, water and technical installations
The hotel strives to ensure that Wi-Fi, TV, heating, water, electricity, access systems and other technical installations function during the stay.
However, operational interruptions may occur due to supplier errors, network problems, weather, technical faults, public utilities, service work or the guest’s own devices.
The guest must immediately report faults in writing so that the hotel has the opportunity to remedy the issue. Missing or late complaints may limit the guest’s opportunity to later claim compensation.
Short-term or minor technical interruptions generally do not entitle the guest to a refund or compensation if the hotel attempts to remedy the matter within a reasonable time.
The guest must not repair, alter or tamper with technical installations.
29. Forgotten items and personal belongings
The guest is responsible for personal belongings, valuables, luggage, electronics, jewellery, cash and documents.
The hotel accepts no responsibility for loss, theft or damage to personal belongings unless otherwise required by mandatory Danish law.
Forgotten items are generally stored for up to 30 days after departure. After this period, items may be disposed of without liability for the hotel.
Forgotten items may be forwarded against prepayment of postage, packaging and administration costs. Standard prices may be:
Denmark: DKK 150
EU: DKK 225
outside the EU: DKK 375
Particularly valuable, dangerous, unhygienic or perishable items may be handled separately or disposed of sooner.
30. Refusal, eviction and termination
The hotel may refuse a guest before check-in or evict a guest during the stay if the guest:
does not pay
cannot identify themselves
has provided incorrect information
breaches the House Rules
smokes
brings animals in breach of section 19
holds a party
causes noise disturbance
harasses staff, neighbours or other guests
behaves in a threatening, violent or unacceptable manner
damages property
has more guests than booked
brings or allows access to unregistered persons
shares access codes with unauthorised persons
uses the stay for illegal or commercial purposes without permission
poses a safety or security risk
otherwise materially breaches the agreement
In case of eviction, the guest remains liable for the entire reserved stay, and no refund should be expected.
The hotel may also charge standard fees and documented additional costs caused by the guest’s conduct, including extra guest fees, smoking fees, pet fees, extra cleaning, damage repair, replacement costs, lost rental income, security costs, technician costs, relocation of other guests and other documented expenses.
The hotel reserves the right to report criminal offences, threats, violence, vandalism, fraud, theft, drug-related matters, unlawful entry or other criminal matters to the police.
31. Overbooking, downtime, system errors and change of room
If, due to overbooking, technical problems, water damage, fire, authority orders, operational interruptions, access problems, errors in the booking system, PMS system, channel manager, access system, payment system, third-party platform or other supplier error, the hotel cannot make the reserved room available, the hotel may offer the guest another equivalent or better room if practically possible.
This also applies if the error is caused by the hotel’s external PMS provider, booking engine, channel manager, access provider, payment provider, OTA connection, integration partner or other technical cooperation partner.
If an equivalent or better room cannot be offered, the hotel may cancel the reservation and refund amounts paid directly to the hotel for the service not delivered.
If the reservation was made and/or paid through a third party, any refund will be handled according to that third party’s terms and payment flow.
The hotel is not liable for indirect losses, transport costs, loss of earnings, missed experiences, consequential damages, price differences for other accommodation, parking costs or other indirect costs unless otherwise required by mandatory law.
32. Complaints during the stay
If the guest experiences faults, defects or dissatisfaction during the stay, the guest must immediately and before departure contact the hotel in writing so that we have the opportunity to investigate and remedy the matter.
The complaint must include booking number, name, date, description of the issue and preferably photos or video.
If the guest does not complain during the stay and only raises the matter after departure, this may limit or exclude the right to compensation because the hotel has not had the opportunity to remedy the matter.
The hotel generally does not provide compensation for issues that could have been remedied during the stay if the guest did not give the hotel the opportunity to solve the problem in time.
Complaints are handled in writing by e-mail.
33. External complaint options
If the guest is a consumer and a solution cannot be reached directly with the hotel, the guest may bring the matter before the relevant complaint body, including the Danish Appeals Board for Hotels, Restaurants and Tourism, if the matter falls within the board’s competence.
As a general rule, the guest must first have submitted a written complaint to the hotel and given the hotel the opportunity to respond.
EU consumers may also refer to the EU’s official information on consumer complaint bodies and alternative dispute resolution.
34. Gift cards, vouchers and credit notes
If the hotel issues gift cards, vouchers or credit notes, the terms stated on the gift card or purchase confirmation apply.
Gift cards cannot be exchanged for cash unless otherwise required by mandatory law or agreed in writing.
Gift cards issued free of charge, as prizes, compensation or goodwill cannot be claimed in cash.
B2B gift cards or vouchers issued to companies cannot be claimed in cash and may only be extended by written agreement.
35. Personal data and data protection
The hotel processes personal data in connection with booking, payment, access, guest communication, invoicing, accounting, security, complaints and compliance with legal obligations.
Personal data may include name, address, e-mail, phone number, nationality, booking information, payment information, licence plate, access log, communication and necessary information about the stay.
By booking, the guest accepts that the hotel processes necessary personal data for the administration and completion of the stay.
The hotel may share necessary information with data processors and cooperation partners, such as PMS system, payment provider, access system, parking company, accounting system, cleaning supplier, booking channel or authorities, where this is necessary and lawful.
Further information is available in the hotel’s Privacy Policy.
36. Force majeure
The hotel is not liable for non-performance or delayed performance caused by circumstances beyond the hotel’s reasonable control.
Force majeure may include, but is not limited to:
fire
flooding
storm
water damage
power failure
internet outage
supplier failure
strike
lockout
war
terrorism
pandemic
epidemic
authority order
evacuation
utility failure
technical system breakdown
circumstances relating to third parties
other extraordinary events
Force majeure and circumstances beyond the hotel’s reasonable control also include significant errors, outages or operational interruptions at PMS providers, booking engines, channel managers, access systems, payment providers, SMS/e-mail providers, internet providers, parking operators, charging operators, OTA platforms or other technical suppliers on which the hotel reasonably relies in order to carry out the reservation or stay.
If the hotel cannot provide the stay due to force majeure, the hotel will attempt to offer a reasonable alternative solution if possible. If the stay cannot be completed, any refund will be handled according to applicable law and the specific circumstances.
The hotel is not liable for indirect losses, consequential damages, transport expenses or other costs caused by force majeure unless otherwise required by mandatory law.
37. Limitation of liability
The hotel is liable in accordance with the general rules of Danish law.
However, the hotel is not liable for indirect losses, operating losses, loss of profit, loss of earnings, missed experiences, consequential damages, third-party errors, parking fines, transport expenses or losses caused by the guest’s own circumstances, unless otherwise required by mandatory law.
To the widest extent permitted by law, the hotel’s liability is limited to the amount paid by the guest directly to the hotel for the specific reservation, unless gross negligence, intent, personal injury or mandatory law provides otherwise.
38. Changes to these Terms and Conditions
The hotel may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time.
The terms applicable to a specific reservation are the terms in force at the time of booking, unless the change is necessary due to legislation, authority requirements, safety or technical matters.
The current version will be published on the hotel’s website or sent upon request.
39. Governing law and venue
These Terms and Conditions are governed by Danish law.
Disputes must first be attempted resolved amicably through written dialogue between the guest and the hotel.
If the dispute cannot be resolved, the matter may be brought before the Danish courts, with the Court of Sønderborg as the agreed venue, unless mandatory consumer protection rules give the guest the right to another venue.
40. Contact
All enquiries regarding reservations, access, payment, complaints, invoices, forgotten items and other matters must be made in writing.
