TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE
Returning 25% of the cancellation fee means a maximum of 12.5% of the actual sales. 12.5%! 12.5%! 12.5!
On other platforms it is 50%, which also causes extreme difficulties. Now guests can cancel free of charge until May 31st, so all pre-bookings for this year are gone realistically.
March 12.5%, April 12.5%, May 12.5% and the months June to October will go for a maximum of 50%. Monthly loss of sales average 64% until the end of October and these are the good months that usually cushion the bad ones.
