Booking terms and conditions
Pyhä-Luosto Travel Ltd complies with the following terms regarding ordering the accommodation services, reservations, and cancellations of ordered services. These terms and conditions will be binding on both parties when the customer has made the reservation. The person making the reservation must be of legal age.
Reservation and payment
The reservation is confirmed when the customer has paid the advance payment of 30% of the reservation value, and 20 € office fees by the due date. The final payment is due about 6 weeks before the beginning of the reservation. If the reservation is made later, the full payment has to be made immediately. The customer is responsible of the bank expenses and it should not be taken from the payment of the accommodation.
Exception on Christmas and New Year reservations: final payment which is due 10 weeks before the beginning of the reservation. If the reservation is cancelled later than 10 weeks before the beginning of the reservation, the full rent will be charged.
Pyhä-Luosto Travel Ltd reserves the right to cancel the reservation without notice if the advance or final payment is not made. The customer will receive a booking confirmation and directions to the key collection point with the invoice. The customer must present a receipt to the person handing over the keys.
Internet reservations
The customer is responsible for ensuring that he from the internet receives an invoice and booking terms and conditions when making a reservation. The reservation system will send a confirmation e-mail to the e-mail address the customer provided when registering. The staff of Pyhä-Luosto Travel Ltd will not send the customer invoices, confirmations, etc., but the customer may print them from the reservation system.
Booking confirmation
If the reservation is paid for, in whole or partly, when making the reservation, the customer must ensure that he, after the payment, is returned to the confirmation page of the Pyhä-Luosto Travel Ltd reservation system. If the customer is not returned to the website of the vendor after payment, the reservation was not made and the reservation system will not send an e-mail confirmation about the reservation.
Pyhä-Luosto Travel Ltd is not responsible for failed reservation, but the customer should contact the vendor immediately to remedy the situation. Pyhä-Luosto Travel Ltd does not guarantee that the vacation home is still available in this situation. If the vacation home is not available, the money will be refunded, or the customer will be, as far as possible, offered another vacation home.
Cancellation
A cancellation must always be made in writing. The cancellation will be considered complete at the moment it has reached the booking office. The customer will be charged service fee 55 € / reservation. If the customer cancels the reservation later than 42 days before the start of the rental period, the full rent will be charged. If the cancellation is made during the rental period, the customer will not receive a refund. If the customer changes vacation homes or dates, this will be considered as a cancellation of the previous reservation and a new reservation.
Exception to cancellation policy due Covid-19 pandemic:
The following cancellation policy is valid until 30.04.2022.
Travel restrictions do not count as “Force Majeure” events/circumstances, as international travel restrictions which are due to the COVID-19 epidemic are not unforeseen. In this situation, the customer’s cancellation and no-shows will be subject to the standard booking and cancellation terms and conditions.
Possible restrictions on travelling and border crossings are not considered as unexpected due to Covid-19 pandemic. Every person travelling to Finland from another state must check for themselves the restrictions on entry into the destination country. Client is responsible to follow border crossing rules.
If there will be restrictions on border crossing (sudden total closing of border ) the client has the right to cancel the booking with 20 % cancellation fee. Cancellation must be made in writing to Pyhä-Luosto Travel.
We recommend taking travel insurance.
The right of Pyhä-Luosto Travel Ltd to cancel a reservation: In the case of force majeure, Pyhä-Luosto Travel Ltd can cancel the reservation, at which time the aim is to offer the customer a comparable accommodation.

The customer is obliged to make sure that the windows are closed, the heating is on, and the doors are locked on departure. Even if cleaning after departure is ordered in advance or included in the rent, we require the vacation home to be in a normal state after living in it, that is furniture and other equipment are in their places and intact, the trash is taken out, and the dirty dishes are in the dishwasher.
