Frequently Asked Questions

I recommend booking through the website first and foremost, but reservations can of course also be made by phone or email. In that case, I will send the invoice by email.

You can pay for your online booking using the most common debit and credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna, or by direct bank transfer. For reservations made by phone or email, I will send the invoice by email. On site, additional services and handicrafts can be paid for in cash or by debit or credit card.

When booking through the reservation calendar, the payment is charged immediately. In invoice cases, the payment term is 7 days. More detailed information can be found in Booking and Cancellation Terms.

The customer may cancel a one-night reservation free of charge at least 3 days before the start date of the booking. Cancellations made less than 3 days before the start of the reservation are non-refundable, unless the room can be rebooked.
