Booking Rules for Friends of Piste Haus (Off Season)
A. Bookings at the Lodge are strictly by room and do not depend on the number of people in the room (up to maximum capacity). The room price is at the Friends of Piste Haus rate.
B. Bookings for Friends of Piste Haus for the off season open at 9am on Jun 1 (i.e., just before the start of the ski season prior to that off season). At this time the entire (although see below) of the following off- season is available to be booked and there is no restriction on the total number of nights that can be booked. The Booking Officer may however restrict the booking of high demand periods such as the Christmas/New Year period. The BO will have discretion to reserve rooms in special circumstances.
C. All bookings are made subject to the approval of the Booking Officer. Piste Haus reserves the right to reject applications not in the best interest of Lodge Members.
D. Payment for bookings must be made by a credit card (Visa or Mastercard) at the time of booking. In exceptional circumstances payment may be made within 7 days by arrangement with the Booking Officer, unpaid bookings will be automatically cancelled soon after that time (examples include; special winter booking arrangements and whole of lodge bookings).
E. Bookings may be cancelled through the online system by the person who made the booking. This action will automatically generate a credit. For cancellations more than 60 days in advance a full credit is given. For cancellations more than 30 days in advance the maximum credit is the amount paid less 50%. For cancellations less than 30 days in advance there is no credit or refund. Where the room is re-booked the equivalent value will be credited less a 25% administration fee.
F. Refunds for cancelled bookings when requested and where credits are not fully used are made by EFT as soon as possible. To make a refund the Booking Officer must be given banking details. An option to allow some refunds to be made by credit card is being evaluated.
