For example, if a reservation for 12 guests from January 2 to January 5 is changed to 10 guests on January 1 without changing the check-in and check-out dates, the cancellation fee for the two canceled guests will be 100% of the accommodation fee for one day.
  6. If a reservation is canceled 30 days or more before the check-in date, any payment already made will not be refunded or applied to a new reservation.
  7. Accommodation prices may vary during peak seasons or special holidays, especially on national holidays. Any retained amount from a previous reservation can only be applied to a new reservation, but the original room rate may not be guaranteed.
