Terms / rental conditions

General terms and conditions for renting accommodation at Gästehaus Weikl, Jahnstraße 37, 94249 Bodenmais (landlord: Sonja Hielscher).

As of: July 2026. By booking or using the accommodation these conditions apply.

This English version is for information only. The German AGB are legally binding.

1. Scope

These conditions apply to all bookings and stays in the holiday apartments and rooms of Gästehaus Weikl. Deviating agreements require text form. Conflicting terms of the guest do not apply.

2. Conclusion of contract

An enquiry via the website or by phone/email is non-binding and does not yet constitute a rental contract. The contract is only concluded when we expressly confirm the booking (by email or in writing) and the agreed deposit has been received. We may decline enquiries without stating reasons.

3. Services and prices

The units booked in each case are rented (currently: Holiday apartment Arber: €160 / night; Holiday apartment Silberberg: €90 / night; Guest room Rißloch: €50 / night). Prices are per accommodation and night unless otherwise stated. The rental price usually includes: use of the booked unit, bed linen and towels, Wi‑Fi and one parking space (subject to availability and arrangement).

Not included in the rental price in particular: visitor’s tax (Kurbeitrag), meals, extra cleaning on request, consumables beyond normal use, and costs for severe soiling or damage.

Minimum stay: usually 2 nights; in high season, on holidays or for short-notice bookings different minima may apply (stated in the confirmation).

4. Deposit, balance, security deposit

On conclusion of the contract a deposit of 30 % of the rental price is due and must be transferred within 7 days of confirmation. The balance is due no later than 14 days before arrival. Bank details and amounts are in the booking confirmation.

Guests leave a security deposit of €150 (holiday apartments) or €50 (guest room). It can be paid in cash on arrival or by transfer before arrival. After departure and inspection of the unit it is refunded – less justified deductions – usually within 14 days.

If a payment is missing we may withdraw from the contract. Amounts already paid may be offset against outstanding claims.

5. Cancellation and rebooking by the guest

What counts is receipt of the cancellation by us (email or in writing). Unless otherwise confirmed:

  • up to 30 days before arrival: free of charge (amounts already paid are refunded, less any third-party fees already incurred)
  • 14 to 29 days before arrival: 50 % of the rental price
  • from 13 days before arrival and in case of no-show: 100 % of the rental price

We endeavour to re-let the accommodation. If that succeeds in full or in part, the cancellation amount is reduced accordingly. Rebookings are only possible by arrangement and subject to availability; cancellation rules may apply analogously. We recommend travel cancellation insurance.

6. Withdrawal and changes by the landlord

If we cannot provide the booked accommodation for an important reason (e.g. force majeure, material damage, utility failure), we will inform you immediately and refund amounts already paid for the affected period. Further claims are excluded to the extent permitted by law. Immaterial changes (e.g. fittings within the description) do not entitle you to withdraw.

7. Arrival, departure, keys

Arrival from 15:00, departure by 10:00, unless otherwise agreed. Earlier arrival or later departure only by arrangement if possible. Key handover and house tour by appointment. In case of late arrival without notice we may dispose of the unit otherwise if it is not considered occupied; cancellation rules remain unaffected.

8. Occupancy and use

The accommodation may only be used by the number of persons stated in the booking. Overnight stays by additional persons without our consent are not permitted and may lead to immediate termination of the stay; the rental price remains due. Subletting or transfer to third parties is prohibited.

The accommodation is for temporary recreation. Commercial use, parties and events are not allowed without express consent.

9. House rules

The house rules in their current version apply. In particular:

  • No pets. Animals may not be brought.
  • Smoking is not permitted in the units or shared indoor areas.
  • Quiet hours from 22:00 to 07:00. Please be considerate of neighbours and other guests at all times.
  • Waste must be separated and disposed of in the designated bins.
  • Inventory and furnishings must be treated with care. Defects or damage must be reported to us immediately.
  • Use energy and water sparingly. Close windows and doors when away; do not turn heating up unnecessarily.

In case of serious breaches of the house rules we may end the stay. The rental price for the booked period remains due; the security deposit may be retained insofar as damage or extra effort arises.

10. Cleaning

Final cleaning is included in the rental price. Nevertheless we expect: kitchen tidy, dishes washed and put away, waste disposed of, fridge emptied, accommodation left broom-clean. In case of severe soiling or extra effort we may deduct a re-cleaning fee of up to €80 or the actual extra cost from the deposit or charge afterwards.

11. Visitor’s tax (Kurbeitrag)

Bodenmais levies a visitor’s tax under the applicable municipal statute. It is not included in the rental price and is collected or settled by us for the municipality. Rates (overnight guests, as of 01.12.2025, without guarantee – the current statute prevails):

  • Persons aged 16 and over: 3.60 € per day of stay
  • Children/young people from 6 to under 16: 1.80 € per day of stay

Arrival and departure days together count as one day of stay. Children under 6 are exempt. Exemptions (e.g. disability degree 100%) under the current statute and on proof.

With the visitor’s tax guests usually receive the Bodenmais guest card with related benefits (e.g. GuTi), insofar as provided by the municipality.

12. Liability

We are liable for intent and gross negligence and under mandatory statutory provisions. For slight negligence we are liable only for breach of material contractual duties and limited to foreseeable, typical damage. Liability for valuables, cash and technical devices brought along is excluded to the extent permitted by law; please lock windows and doors and keep valuables safe.

The guest is liable for damage caused culpably by them, co-travellers or visitors – including lost keys (replacement including locking system as incurred).

13. Internet / Wi‑Fi

Wi‑Fi is provided free of charge where possible. A particular speed or availability is not owed. Unlawful use (downloads, copyright infringement etc.) is prohibited; the guest indemnifies us against third-party claims arising from their use.

14. Data protection

Information on processing personal data is in our privacy notice.

15. Final provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies. Place of jurisdiction – where permitted – is the landlord’s registered seat. If individual provisions are invalid, the remainder of the contract remains effective.

We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
