The Company reserves the right to cancel the booking if:

- the apartment(s) or part of it is closed due to circumstances beyond its control

Rates offered for multiple night stays are the average nightly rate. Any change in the number of nights booked may result in a higher rate being charged in accordance with the properties current availability and rate strategy.

Security Deposits for Damage, Extras and Cleaning
