Terms & Payment
Booking terms and payment methods
The terms of booking and cancellation for Kuopion ja Lohjan Kylpylät Oy/Lohja Spa & Resort (“hotel”) are as follows:
1) BOOKING AND CONFIRMATION
Once a customer’s booking has been confirmed by the hotel or the booking centre, it is binding for both the customer and the hotel. Bookings may be made verbally or in writing. If made by phone, the phone call is considered a confirmation. The hotel issues a written confirmation, if possible, which must include the agreed services, prices, and terms of cancellation. The hotel’s online booking service sends an automatic booking confirmation with the terms of cancellation to the customer’s email address. Rooms may only be booked by persons of age (18 and older). If a customer books a room for a minor, the customer is responsible for the minor whether they stay with them or not. Minors staying on their own must have a signed note from their guardian that states the minor’s name, date of birth, and time of stay, as well as their guardian’s name and phone number.
2) CUSTOMER CHECK-IN AND CHECK-OUT
Unless otherwise agreed upon, rooms are made available to customers from 16.00 hours on the day of arrival and must be vacated by noon on the day of departure.
3) LATE CHECK-IN
Bookings are valid until 18.00 hours on the day of arrival unless a later time has been agreed upon.
4) CANCELLATION AND NO-SHOW
Hotel room bookings are binding for both parties. If either party breaches the agreement, they are obligated to compensate the other party. If a booking results in special costs for the hotel, the customer must pay these costs in full. For private customers, the compensation for unused room bookings is calculated as follows:
a) No compensation is required if the booking is cancelled by 16.00 hours on the day before arrival*.
b) Compensation is required for one day if the cancellation occurs later than by the above time and another customer does not book the room.
c) Compensation is required for one day if the customer has not cancelled their booking and fails to check in.
Exceptions: The full price must be paid in advance for Christmas holiday packages that include programming (one month in advance) and themed weekends (about two weeks in advance). If advance payment has not been received by the due date, the booking is cancelled and the accommodation is made available to other customers.
* Prepaid bookings are refunded to the customer’s account subject to a processing fee of €10.
Customers who have made a group booking may cancel their reservation of accommodation without giving a specific reason as follows:
a) At no cost if the cancellation is made at least 30 days before the start date*.
b) At a cost of 50 per cent if the cancellation is made between 14 and 30 days before the start date.
c) The full price must be paid to the hotel if the cancellation is made later than 14 days before the start date and the rooms are not booked by other customers.
Check-out before the agreed date: If a booking was made for a certain period and the customer checks out before the end date, they must pay the full agreed upon price for the remaining time as well. If an offer for accommodation was priced for a group of two or more staying in the same room or suite and one member of the group cancels their booking, the hotel has the right to charge a reasonable fee for the cancellation. The members of the group are jointly responsible for paying the additional fee to the hotel.
5) TERMS OF PAYMENT
Individual customers: According to international payment policy, booked accommodation is paid upon check-in at the hotel in cash or by credit card or online during booking, unless another method is agreed upon during booking.
Groups: The hotel negotiates the terms of payment and arrangements for advance payment beforehand with the customer who makes the booking. If the booking is made by a company and invoicing at a later date is preferred, a prior invoicing agreement is required between the hotel and the company.
