3.3 For rebookings (changes regarding arrival and departure dates, length of stay, type of catering, booked additional services and other supplementary services), for which there is no legal claim, the BHB can charge a rebooking fee of € 15,- per change.

5.2 If a date for the cancellation of the contract free of charge was agreed between the BHB and the guest in text form, the customer can withdraw from the contract until then without any payment or damage claims of the BHB being initiated. The guest's right of withdrawal expires if he does not exercise his right of withdrawal towards the BHB in text form by the agreed date.
5.3 In the event of cancellation, the BHB's claim to payment of the agreed price of the stay, including the catering portion and the fees for additional services, shall remain in effect.

5.5 The BHB shall take into account any other occupancy and, insofar as this is not possible, saved expenses.
5.6 According to the percentages recognized by case law for the assessment of saved expenses, the guest or the client shall pay the following amounts to the accommodating establishment, in each case based on the total price of the accommodation services (including all ancillary costs), but without taking into account any public charges such as tourist tax or visitor's tax:

He had to set the BHB a reasonable deadline for remedy beforehand within the framework of the notice of defects, unless the remedy is impossible, is refused by the BHB or the immediate termination is objectively justified by a special interest of the guest recognizable to the BHB or the continuation of the stay is unreasonable for such reasons.
