Within the Returnable rate there applies a 2-day free cancellation period counting backwards from the day of the planned arrival inclusive thereof. Scharffenberg Apartments reserve themselves the right to shorten or to extend the period of free cancellation of the booking, while maintaining the information duty towards the Guest.
4. To make a booking it is necessary that the Guest provides security in the form of providing a credit card or a debit card number, cardholder's data, the card’s expiry date and a CVC code as well as the authorization to charge the card’s account, or to make a payment in advance.

After the payment of the advance payment is entered to the Scharffenberg Apartments' account, the booking gains the status of the confirmed one, which the Guest who makes the booking is informed immediately about by way of an e-mail send to the e-mail address provided by them.

In the event that the cancellation of the booking made within the Returnable rate has been made in the period longer than 2 days before the day of the planned arrival, the Guest is entitled to a repayment of the prepaid part of the price. Scharffenberg Apartments will make the repayment within 3 business days, in accordance with the Client's instructions or in the manner corresponding to the one in which payment was made.
10. When it comes to bookings made through the Operator, there may be separate booking cancellation policies and separate forms and dates of repayment of charges, as determined by the Operator's internal rules.
