Problem med hotell eller semesterboende - Engelska

Have you rented a hotel room, an apartment or a cottage? Are you dissatisfied with something in the booked accommodation? In that case you must complain as soon as possible to the company. You have the right to demand that faults are corrected. You may also have the right to compensation.

Keep this in mind

  • You do not have a statutory right of withdrawal when booking accommodation.

  • If you discover any faults with the accommodation, you must complain to the company as soon as possible.

  • If you wait too long to complain, you may lose the right to compensation.

  • It is always the booking conditions that determine whether you have the right to cancel or rebook the accommodation.
