1. Scope and operator
These terms apply to all bookings of the holiday and business apartments operated under Toepfermarkt Apartments in Hofgeismar. The operator (landlord) is Son Tran Van, Toepfermarkt Apartments (Kleingewerbe), Steinweg 3, 34369 Hofgeismar. The rental constitutes an accommodation contract (Beherbergungsvertrag). These terms form the contract between the guest and the operator. By completing a booking, the guest accepts these terms, the House Rules and the Cancellation Policy.
2. Booking and conclusion of contract
A guest inquiry or booking request is an offer to enter into an accommodation contract. The contract is concluded once the operator confirms the booking in writing (by email). The confirmation states the apartment, dates, number of guests and total price, together with the invoice and payment details. The booking becomes binding once the full payment has been received by the operator.
3. Prices and payment
- The total price stated in the booking confirmation applies. A surcharge applies for the 3rd and 4th person.
- As a small business under § 19 UStG (Kleinunternehmerregelung), no value added tax (VAT) is shown.
- Payment is made by bank transfer (further payment methods may be offered in future). The full amount is due before arrival, by the date stated in the booking confirmation.
- No security deposit is charged.
- Any tourist tax or local levy, where applicable, is shown separately.
4. Arrival, departure and occupancy
- Check-in from 15:00, check-out until 12:00.
- Access is via key safe; the access code is provided on the day of arrival, only after the full payment has been received.
- Standard occupancy is 2 persons, maximum 4 persons. The apartment may only be used by the registered number of guests.
5. House Rules

6. Cancellation

7. Right of withdrawal
For the provision of accommodation for a specific date or period, there is no statutory right of withdrawal under § 312g (2) no. 9 of the German Civil Code (BGB). The Cancellation Policy above applies instead.
8. Guest duties and damage
The guest agrees to treat the apartment and its contents with care. Damage or missing items must be reported immediately. The guest is liable for damage or loss caused during the stay, in line with statutory rules.
9. Operator liability
The operator is liable without limitation for damage arising from injury to life, body or health, and for intent and gross negligence. For slight negligence the operator is liable only for breach of an essential contractual obligation, and limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. This does not affect mandatory statutory liability.
10. Data protection
Personal data provided during booking is processed only to fulfil the contract and to meet legal obligations. Details are set out in our Privacy Policy.
11. Final provisions
German law applies. Should individual provisions be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions is not affected. The German version of these terms prevails in case of doubt.
