Repairs and Maintenance
We cannot guarantee against mechanical failure of heating, appliances, or other technical equipment. Please report any inoperative equipment to our office promptly. Alpenhof Stechelberg Ltd will make every reasonable effort to have repairs done quickly and efficiently.

NO REFUNDS OR RENT REDUCTIONS WILL BE MADE DUE TO MECHANICAL FAILURES OR MALFUNCTIONS, INTERRUPTIONS OF UTILITIES, MAINTENANCE PROBLEMS OR CONSTRUCTION IN THE AREA. WHILE Alpenhof Stechelberg Ltd. WILL MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO REPAIR ANY MAINTENANCE ISSUE IN A TIMELY MANNER, IT CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THE ISSUE WILL BE FIXED DURING A GUEST STAY, AS THE COMPANY MAY HAVE TO GO THROUGH HOME WARRANTIES. Alpenhof Stechelberg Ltd. will always look for alternative solutions to ensure and prioritize guest comfort.
No Smoking Policy
All properties are non-smoking. Violation of the no smoking policy will result in forfeiture of the full security deposit and damage liability of up to CHF 2,500,000 for any discovered damage to furniture or any odors.
Good Neighbor Policy
You agree to abide by all rules and regulations set forth by local ordinances, which includes a "Good Neighbor Policy". You are advised to keep in mind that vacation rental properties are located in quiet, private neighborhoods. Please respect our neighbors. Anyone found to be violating noise ordinances will be subject to an initial CHF 1,000 fine followed by a possible eviction in egregious circumstances. Guests will not be given any refund for issues related to noise ordinance violations. Possible violations include, but are not limited to, limiting sound amplification outdoors, over occupying parking areas, over occupying rental property, failure to properly store trash, and failing to follow your agreement with the Management Company.

An inspection of the vacation rental property will take place 24 hours in advance of your arrival. If there are any concerns with the property, please notify Management immediately to ensure that such issues may be remedied in a timely manner. The property will be subject to inspection upon reasonable notice to guest, which includes knocking on the door or ringing the doorbell before entry in the event that noise complaints are issued. The guest understands that this may occur anytime during the guest's stay if there is noise or reasonable suspicion of a party or any other violation of the house neighborhood rules or city ordinance.

In this event, you will forfeit all monies, including security deposits. Only those guests listed on the attached guest list to this rental agreement may occupy the property during the reservation periods.
