Do I need to pay a deposit to confirm my reservation?
Yes, a deposit is always required to confirm your booking, whether it's for a cooking class, a stay at Villa Lorelei, or a combined package. The remaining balance can be paid later, either online or in person according to the agreed method.
What payment methods are accepted besides Klarna?
In addition to Klarna's installment option, we accept credit and debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express), PayPal, bank transfer, and secure online payments via Stripe. The preferred method will be agreed upon during the booking process.
Can I get a receipt or invoice for my payment?
Of course! Whether you pay via Klarna, credit card, bank transfer, or any other method, we can provide a receipt or formal invoice upon request. Just let us know your billing details at the time of booking or payment.
What happens if I need to cancel after making a payment?
For cooking classes and room bookings, cancellations are free of charge up to 7 days before the check-in date or scheduled class. Any deposit paid will be fully refunded. For cancellations made less than 7 days in advance, the full amount is due. However, if you'd like to modify your booking or change the date, it's always free of charge.
Can I offer a cooking class or stay at Villa Lorelei as a gift?
Absolutely! Contact us and we'll help you create the perfect gift experience. Whether it's a cooking class, an overnight stay, or a full package, we'll prepare a personalized digital voucher tailored to your needs.
What happens if my card is declined during payment?
If your card is declined, don't worry — it can happen for various reasons such as daily limits, verification issues, or bank restrictions. You can try again with a different card or payment method, or contact us directly and we'll assist you with an alternative solution.
Can I book now and pay later?
Yes, it's possible to secure your reservation by paying only a deposit at the time of booking. The remaining balance can be paid closer to the date of your stay or class, according to the method agreed upon during confirmation.
When do I need to complete the full payment?
The remaining balance can be paid in the days before your arrival or directly at check-in, depending on the method agreed upon at the time of booking. We'll provide you with all the details when confirming your reservation.
What is the cancellation policy if I pay with Klarna?
Important: If you choose to pay with Klarna, our cancellation policy differs from standard bookings. Due to Klarna's payment structure, we cannot process refunds even if you cancel more than 7 days in advance - the full amount will still be due. However, we can suspend your booking and allow you to reschedule to a different date. If your new booking costs more, you'll only pay the additional difference. This flexibility ensures you don't lose your investment while accommodating schedule changes.
