We hope you are looking forward to your stay with us this winter at Black Diamond Lodge. Below we provide you with our Covid hygiene information and updated operational procedures including our payment terms and policies.
Holiday Payments
Our standard payment policy has been updated to be more flexible during the pandemic exceptional travel circumstances. We have done this as we are a small business and seek to give guests comfort when making a reservation with us. Holiday payments and refund policies are as follows.
We require a deposit when to confirm your reservation. However, if you need to cancel before your holiday due to travel restrictions, we will refund your deposit less a 3% administration fee. Alternatively, you can transfer your deposit to a future holiday with us (this is of course our preference) and your deposit will be transferred to your new holiday dates. Your remaining balance is upon your arrival with us.
