Terms and Conditions

for Accommodation Bookings and Cancellations

These booking and cancellation conditions do not apply to bookings made through Booking.com.

Once the customer has paid the retainer (30 % of the total balance of the booking) by the due date, these terms will be binding to both parties and the booking is confirmed. The remaining balance of the booking is due 28 days before the beginning of the booking. In case of last minute bookings (less than 28 days before the beginning of the booking) the total balance is charged at once.

Cancellations must always be given in writing by email directly to Matkailumaja Heikkala. The cancellation is effective when it has been received by Matkailumaja Heikkala. Failure to pay the booking invoice does not count as cancellation. In case the cancellation is made at least 28 days before the beginning of the booking, the fee paid by the customer is refunded less €50 administrative fee.

In case of illness less than 14 days before the beginning of the booking, and the booking is cancelled by the customer, a doctor’s certificate is required for a full refund less €50 administrative fee.
