Third-Party Service Providers

Some activities, program services, transportation, guided tours, and experiences offered or arranged by Polku Hotel may be provided by independent third-party service providers.

When a service is provided by a third party, that provider’s own terms regarding booking, payment, cancellation, and liability may apply. Customers will be informed of any supplier-specific terms before the reservation is confirmed or, at the latest, in the reservation confirmation.

If a third-party provider's terms conflict with Polku Hotel's general booking and cancellation terms, the third-party provider's terms shall prevail with respect to that specific service.

Polku Hotel remains responsible for its own operations in accordance with applicable law. The third-party provider is responsible for the content, safety, performance, and contractual obligations related to the service it provides.

10. Customer Liability

The customer is fully liable for any damage caused by the customer, their guests, employees, subcontractors, or pets to the hotel's property, buildings, furnishings, equipment, or surrounding environment.

Polku Hotel reserves the right to charge the full cost of repairs, cleaning, service interruptions, and any other expenses related to damage.

The customer is fully liable for any costs resulting from false or unnecessary fire alarms caused by the customer, members of their party, guests, or pets.

If the customer's actions trigger a fire alarm or emergency response when there is no actual emergency, Polku Hotel reserves the right to charge the customer for all resulting costs.

False fire alarms are charged according to the current fee set by the rescue authority. As of the date these terms took effect, the charge is €1,940.

Polku Hotel also reserves the right to charge for any direct damages, additional labor costs, cleaning expenses, or business interruption costs resulting from the incident.

False alarms may be caused by indoor smoking, the use of e-cigarettes, candles, open flames, cooking in the accommodation, or other negligent conduct by the customer or their party.

11. Smoking and House Rules

Smoking is prohibited in all accommodations, restaurants, meeting rooms, and indoor public areas.

Violation of the smoking ban may result in a minimum cleaning fee of €300, in addition to any actual costs incurred.

Polku Hotel reserves the right to remove a guest from the hotel premises without compensation if the guest causes a disturbance, compromises safety, or materially violates the hotel's rules.

12. Pets

Pets are allowed only in designated pet-friendly rooms and areas.

Customers are responsible for any damage, additional cleaning costs, or other expenses caused by their pets.

13. Polku Hotel's Right to Cancel

Polku Hotel reserves the right to cancel a reservation if:

  • the customer has materially failed to meet its payment obligations;

  • materially incorrect information was provided during the reservation process;

  • the customer's conduct poses a safety, damage, or reputational risk; or

  • the provision of the service becomes impossible due to force majeure.

In such cases, any payments received will be refunded to the extent that services have not been provided.

14. Force Majeure

Polku Hotel shall not be liable for any loss, delay, or failure to perform its obligations caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control.

Force majeure includes, but is not limited to, government actions, war, labor disputes, pandemics, epidemics, fire, exceptional weather conditions, natural disasters, major telecommunications disruptions, power outages, and other unforeseeable events beyond the hotel's control.

The validity period cannot be extended after it expires.

Gift cards cannot be exchanged for cash, and unused balances will not be refunded.

Lost, stolen, or damaged gift cards will not be replaced.

If the cost of a service exceeds the gift card balance, the customer must pay the difference according to the current price list.

Expired gift cards will not be redeemed, and no refunds will be issued for expired balances.

Reservations made using gift cards are still subject to the applicable booking and cancellation terms.

17. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These terms and conditions are governed by Finnish law.

The parties shall seek to resolve disputes through negotiation whenever possible.
