No extra reservation costs will be charged for reservations at Bed & Breakfast “OYO”.

This should preferably be done by means of current payment cards (Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, American Express, PayPal, Payconiq), by bank transfer in advance, by Vlaanderen Vakantieland cheques, by compensation cheques or, if necessary, in cash (in Euro).
The operator may deviate from these conditions in consultation with the tenant.
When booking for a period of more than 2 days, the operator may ask for a deposit of 40% of the agreed rental price.
You can find the current rates on our website: www.OYOkortrijk.be
For each stay, the Tax on the provision of accommodation of the City of Kortrijk (‘Tourist tax Kortrijk’) will be charged (current rate on website).

4. Cancellation or no-show
In the unlikely event that you are unable to honour the rental agreement that you have entered into, you should notify us as soon as possible so that we can offer the vacant booking to third parties.
In case of cancellation, the hirer shall pay a fee to the operator according to the chosen rate:
For individual bookings:
When booking, you have the choice between flexible or non-refundable rates.
A non-refundable rate is more advantageous but has the consequence, as the name suggests, that you can no longer cancel your stay free of charge.
This is never good news but we can’t bear this for you, we count on your understanding and respect when applying and following these conditions. You can, however, move your reservation free of charge at least 2 days before arrival if the reservation was made directly through us and not through the website of third parties.
The flexible/refundable rates can be cancelled up to 4 days before arrival.
Eg: If you booked a stay and want to cancel in less than 4 days before the date of arrival the whole stay will be charged.
So if you want to cancel for tomorrow, you should have cancelled 3 days ago before 4pm.
Also if you do not come, this stay will be charged.
Refundable rate
- Cancellation up to 4 days before arrival 16:00h: no fee will be charged
- less than 4 days before arrival or no-show: 100% of the agreed price will be charged.
Non-refundable rate
In case of cancellation at any time or no-show: 100% of the agreed price will be charged.
The amount due is then to be transferred within 14 days to the bank account number of the operator or the payment method indicated at the time of booking.
For group bookings (>2 rooms):
From 2 rooms we speak of a group booking, here other cancellation conditions apply:
– Between 4 and 0 days prior to arrival: 100%.
– Between 8 and 4 days prior to arrival: 50%.
– More than 8 days prior to arrival: 0%.
