General provisions

(a) These “General Terms and Conditions” (hereinafter: GTC) govern the conditions for using the accommodation facilities of the Calimbra Wellness and Conference Hotel**** Superior operated by the Service Provider at 3519 Miskolc, Bencések útja 9–11, and the related services provided by the Service Provider.
(b) These GTC do not exclude the conclusion of special or individual agreements with travel agencies, travel intermediaries, tour operators, or other persons who cooperate with the Service Provider on a long-term basis for the purpose of selling the Service Provider’s services.

Contracting party:

(a) The contracting party is the natural person, legal person, or business association without legal personality that orders and uses the Service Provider’s services. The contracting party is also the natural person who actually uses the Service Provider’s service. Hereinafter, the person ordering and/or using the service shall jointly be referred to as the Guest.
(b) The Service Provider and the Guest, subject to the fulfillment of the conditions, become the contracting parties to the service agreement as necessary (hereinafter jointly: the Contracting Parties).

Conclusion of the service agreement, booking process, modification of the booking:

(a) Based on the Guest’s request for an offer submitted in writing (by e-mail, via the booking system at https://calimbrawellnesshotel.hu/), the Service Provider shall send an offer to the Guest within 36 hours from receipt of the request. If the actual order is not received from the Guest in writing within 48 hours from sending the offer, the Service Provider shall be released from its obligation to keep the offer open and the Service Provider’s binding effect of the offer shall cease. The Service Provider accepts bookings only in writing from the Guest; verbal agreements are not valid.
(b) The service agreement is concluded by the Service Provider’s written confirmation of the order submitted by the Guest (booking), and in view of this written confirmation, the order (booking) qualifies as a contract concluded in writing. A verbally placed order and/or modification of an order creates a contractual obligation only if it has been confirmed by the Service Provider in writing; the Service Provider’s verbal confirmation of an order or an order modification does not create a contractual obligation.
(c) The contract concluded for the use of the service is for a fixed term.
(d) If the Guest permanently vacates the room before the expiry of the specified period for reasons within the Guest’s own sphere of interest, the Service Provider is entitled to the full consideration for the service stipulated in the Contract. The Service Provider is entitled to resell the room vacated before the expiry date.
(e) If the Guest decides before the expiry of the fixed term that they do not wish to use the service until the end of the fixed term, they are nevertheless obliged to pay the full consideration for the service to the Service Provider, and the Service Provider is entitled to claim the full consideration for the ordered service. The Service Provider is entitled to resell the room vacated by the Guest before the expiry of the fixed term.
(f) The Guest is entitled to extend the service only if the Service Provider gives its written consent no later than the day preceding the expiry of the fixed term.
(g) The service agreement may be amended exclusively by the joint written will of the Contracting Parties.
(h) A condition for using the accommodation service is that Guests prove their identity in accordance with statutory provisions before occupying the room. No one may stay in the hotel without registration.

Cancellation conditions:

(a) The Guest (customer) may cancel the booking free of charge if the intention to cancel is notified to the hotel in writing by midnight on the 14th day prior to arrival. In the event of cancellation at an earlier date than 14 days, a penalty of 50% is payable. In the event of cancellation within 7 days, or failure to cancel, the Service Provider is entitled to invoice 100% of the accommodation fee. In the event of cancellation beyond 14 days, we can refund the deposit reduced by the bank commission.
(b) If the Guest (customer) can no longer cancel the booking free of charge, the Service Provider provides the option for the Guest (customer) to send another person in their place to use the accommodation. The Guest (customer) must inform the Service Provider in writing if another person will use the booking.
(c) The Service Provider reserves the right, for products subject to special conditions (e.g. promotional offers, non-cancellable and non-modifiable offers), as well as in the case of group travel or events, to determine conditions different from the above in an individual contract.
(d) If the Guest does not arrive despite a paid room reservation (no show), the hotel shall consider the paid accommodation fee as used. The deposit or accommodation fee paid by the Guest becomes the property of the hotel; in exchange for the paid deposit, the hotel provides no service.
(e) The Service Provider draws Guests’ attention to the possibility of taking out travel insurance in case of cancellation.

Prices applied by the Service Provider:

(a) The hotel’s room rates (Rack Rate) are available at the hotel reception and on https://calimbrawellnesshotel.hu/.
(b) The Service Provider is entitled to change its prices at any time without prior notice; however, this does not apply to prices already offered in a quotation provided at the request of the contracting party.
(c) When communicating prices, the Service Provider must indicate the statutory rate of the tax content of the prices (e.g. value added tax, tourist tax). The Service Provider reserves the right, in the event of a change in legislation, to pass on additional burdens to the contracting party and/or the Guest without prior notice. (d) The Service Provider is entitled to set its prices in Hungarian forints and in any convertible currency.
(e) The Service Provider undertakes to publish its current hotel room rates, current promotions, discounts and other offers on the website it operates at https://calimbrawellnesshotel.hu/.
(f) In the case of cooperation and guest referral with travel agencies (tour operator), in the absence of a cooperation agreement the Service Provider issues a gross invoice (including commission and VAT); payment of commission is possible upon presentation of the tour operator’s commission invoice. In the case of a contracted partner, the contractual price agreed in the contract shall be invoiced.

Method of payment and its guarantee:

(a) The Service Provider indicates the full amount of the ordered services for the entire stay on the written confirmation sent to the Guest. The Service Provider is entitled to request a deposit from the Guest. The amount of the deposit is determined by the Service Provider and may vary depending on the season and the offer. The Guest shall transfer the deposit amount according to the written confirmation to our bank account within 3 calendar days after the confirmation, or the amount shall be credited to us via the Guest’s bank from the Guest’s SZÉP Card. If 1–7 days elapse between booking and arrival, the Guest is obliged to pay the deposit within 24 hours. In the case of gifting, the full package price must be paid in advance. The Service Provider issues an advance invoice to the Guest on the day the deposit is received. This is when the booking becomes guaranteed.
(b) The Guest may pay the deposit amount calculated for the period of stay in several ways: by bank transfer to our bank account, by having the amount credited to us via the Guest’s bank from the Guest’s SZÉP Card, or by payment by postal cheque.

(c) The Service Provider reserves the right to request a guarantee from the contracting party or the Guest for the settlement of the consideration for extra services used by the Guest, i.e. services arising from on-site consumption beyond the ordered services.

If payment for the services is made wholly or partly in a currency other than Hungarian forints, conversion shall be based on the MNB (National Bank of Hungary) official middle exchange rate of the day preceding the issuance of the invoice. The Service Provider ensures that the hotel reception provides information upon request regarding the buying exchange rate forming the basis of conversion and invoicing.
(d) The Service Provider also accepts cashless payment instruments for settling the consideration for the service(s) (e.g. debit card, credit card, cafeteria instruments, and—based on a separate agreement—voucher, coupon); the current list of such instruments may be viewed at the hotel reception upon request.
