Other important information
Applies to both travel agencies and individuals
- For safety reasons, our spa is not suitable for small children (under the age of 12).
- We highly recommend that our guests obtain comprehensive travel insurance, including cancellation coverage, for the duration of their trip. Gáldu Hotel & Spa is not responsible for any booking cancellations due to medical conditions or other personal reasons. We advise our guests to ensure their insurance policy covers such eventualities.
- In the unlikely event that Gáldu Hotel & Spa is unable to provide the agreed services due to force majeure (e.g. natural disaster, war, fire, strike, water damage), guests will receive a full refund for any payments made, or the option to reschedule their stay at a mutually convenient time.
Travel packages and third-party services
When Gáldu provides accommodation as part of a travel package sold by a third-party tour operator, all responsibility for the overall package, including compliance with applicable package travel regulations and required financial guarantees, rests with the tour operator. Gáldu’s liability is limited to the accommodation services we provide. The tour operator indemnifies Gáldu against any claims related to the package as a whole.
Health and safety notice
For safety reasons, pregnant women are not permitted to participate in extreme activities such as snowmobiling and husky sledding. We kindly ask all guests to inform us of any health conditions prior to booking.
Activities operated by third parties
Gáldu Hotel & Spa offers bookings for certain activities and excursions operated by independent third-party providers. When reserving such activities through us, the contract is considered to be between the guest and the activity provider.
While we take care to work with reputable partners, Gáldu Hotel & Spa accepts no responsibility or liability for the provision of these activities, nor for any accidents, injuries, losses or damages that may occur during participation. All liability rests solely with the activity provider, and guests are advised to review the provider’s own terms and conditions as well as insurance coverage before participating.
