Amsterdam Canal Apartments - Cancellation Policy

We are very small: we have only three apartments. Consequently, loosing business through no-shows has a big impact on the business as a whole. Still we would like you to be able to cancel, should your plans change unexpectedly.

The deposit required for a confirmed reservation is 50% of the rental fee. The cancellation charges are:

  • 100% refund (minus an administration fee of Euro 50) if the canceallation is made 2 months in advance
  • 50% of that deposit will be refunded if cancellation is made 14 days or more before arrival date
  • 20% of the deposit will be refunded if cancellation is made 7-14 days before arrival date
  • No refund if cancellation is made within 6 days of arrival
  • No refunds in case of shortening your stay after arrival

You may wish to take out a travel/cancellation insurance to cover for the cancellation charge in case you have to cancel involuntarily.

Please make sure that you receive our confirmation that indeed your reservation is cancelled.

We will respond with availability and a price quote. If you then would like to make the reservation, we will make a temporary reservation for you and send you an invoice for the deposit for 50% of the rental at the same time.

About Amsterdam Canal Apartments

We are two old time friends, Sebastian Oele and Hugo Lingeman, each of us renting out apartments in our respective canal houses, which are actually just steps away from each other. We both have a job and the apartment rentals is a way for us to be able to afford to live in such nice houses in the historic centre of Amsterdam. We do our web site and some advertising together to keep costs low, but from there on we each do our own reservations etc. So, please choose the apartment which you prefer and send an email to either Bas or Hugo. Should that apartment be booked for the period that you request, you will be referred to the other place.
