General conditions 2021-2024

When booking, the tenant enters into a binding agreement with Kobbar & Skär, as an intermediary. The agreement applies between you as a tenant and the cottage’s owner. Kobbar & Skär are only intermediaries and are thus only responsible as such.

The booking takes place by accepting the booking request and / or by receive  the booking confirmation.

The booking fee (advance payment) must be paid at the time of booking. The remaining rental amount is paid no later than 35 days before the date of check-in. If any of these are not paid on time, the booking expires and the broker has the right to rent to another tenant, the booking fee (advance payment) is not refunded.

For the booking to be valid, agreed payments such as the booking fee, final sum and/or deposit must be made according to the latest date specified.

If the payment is made online with a debit/credit card via Kobbar & Skär Stugförmedling AB’s website, you guarantee that the card used is your own and that there is/will be cover for the payments/reservations that will be made according to the agreement, e.g. in case of any deposit reserved on the card a few days before arrival, you further guarantee that the validity period of the card extends to at least one month after the check-out date.

If any of the payments are not paid as agreed or cannot be carried out, e.g. reservation that cannot be completed, that there is not enough money or for some other reason, the reservation expires and access to the rental object may be stopped.

Right of withdrawal
Normally, you as a consumer have a 14-day right of withdrawal when you buy something remotely, but there is an exception in the law; purchase of travel and hotel stays.

The exception applies to all types of travel, e.g. air, train and charter travel, as well as hotel stays and holiday accommodation such as renting a campsite or cabin.
You can read more here Law (2005:59) on distance contracts and contracts outside business premisesor on the Swedish Consumer Agency’s website section ”When the right of withdrawal does not apply”.
The conditions may look different depending on the company.
The following applies when you book with us:

If a cancellation occurs 70 days or more before the check-in date, 50% of the paid booking fee / advance payment will be refunded and the property will be available for rental again. If a cancellation occurs less than 70 days before the date of check-in, 0% of the paid booking fee / advance payment will be refunded and the property will be available for rental again.

In some cabins, you must leave a deposit as security. Sometimes Kobbar & Skär handles the deposit and then Kobbar & Skär pays it back after you have left the cabin and it has been approved or you leave the deposit directly to the cabin owner upon arrival and get it back from the cabin owner when you leave the cabin and it has been approved by the owner.
Check in your booking confirmation what applies to your particular cabin.

It is the tenant’s responsibility to obtain cancellation protection.

Unless otherwise agreed, check-in applies from 16:00 on the first day of the rental period and check-out no later than 10:00 on the last rental day. (Low season/weekends usually have completely different check-in and check-out times)

The cottages/houses Kobbar & Skär convey are usually private and it may be that in some cottages there are private things in cupboards and drawers. They are usually marked as private. All pictures do not always correspond exactly to our pictures because the owners may have renovated, replaced furniture or other things. However, it must always be equivalent or better.

Identification may be required upon arrival.

Final cleaning upon departure:

The tenant is responsible for leaving the house/cottage in the same clean condition as they received the cottage.
A few cabins/houses have final cleaning included in the price, a checklist for what is included in final cleaning is included in the welcome email/available in the cabin.
Checklist for what must be cleaned regardless of whether cleaning is included or not included in the welcome email/is in the cabin, check what is included in your booking.
Any damage caused by the tenant must be paid for by the tenant. If the cleaning is inadequate, costs for this are deducted from the deposit.

If Kobbar & Skär Stugförmedling AB and/or the property owner is prevented or substantially limited in the performance of their obligations under the agreement due to force majeure and/or other extraordinary events or circumstances, including but not limited to war, natural disasters, emission disasters , drought, other extraordinary weather conditions, epidemics, pandemics, quarantines, closure of borders or geographic areas, food shortages and/or rationing, traffic conditions, interruption of currency trading, strikes, lockouts, and regardless of whether any of these force majeure events and/or
other extraordinary events or circumstances were foreseeable at the time of the booking, Kobbar & Skär Stugförmedling AB and/or the property owner have the right to cancel the agreement without either Kobbar & Skär Stugförmedling AB or the property owner being responsible for not having fulfilled their obligations under the agreement.

Kobbar & Skär Stugförmedling has the right to retain the payments that have been made to Kobbar & Skär Stugförmedling by the tenant if force majeure and/or other extraordinary events or circumstances exist.

Complaints about a poorly cleaned cabin/dissatisfaction on arrival must be reported to Kobbar & Skär Stugförmedling or the property owner (if their contact details are in the cabin/welcome email) no later than the day of check-in! Kobbar & Skär or the property owner then has the opportunity to remedy the problem.

If no comments are received on the day of check-in, you accept the cottage in its existing condition.

Complaints regarding damage or other deficiencies must be reported as soon as possible and no later than 48 hours from the start of the rental period or at the time it was discovered. They must be reported to Kobbar & Skär Stugförmedling or the property owner.

In the event of a complaint, the tenant must give Kobbar & Skär Stugförmedling/the property owner a reasonable deadline to correct or repair any damage. If departure from the holiday home occurs before the agreed check-out date, without notifying Kobbar och Skär or the property owner, the tenant risks not being able to cancel the agreement in the event of serious deficiencies or to demand compensation or a price reduction. It is then considered that the tenant himself has made it impossible to remedy or repair the possible damage.

Kobbar & Skär Stugförmedling reserves the right to move the tenant to another holiday home of equivalent price and quality. If, in the tenant’s opinion, the complaint has not been resolved satisfactorily during the rental period, it must be sent in writing to Kobbar & Skär Stugförmedling no later than 14 days after the check-out date for subsequent processing.

If Kobbar och Skär Stugförmedling offers to remedy the deficiency, the guest cannot invoke the deficiency if the remedy takes place within a reasonable time. Remedies may also take place through a relocation to another equivalent cabin.
If the guest does not inform Kobbar & Skär Stugförmedling/property owner of defects, he does not have the right to cancel the agreement or demand compensation for this.

Hyresgästen ansvarar för att ha en hemförsäkring som täcker eventuella skador i huset, eller på husets egendom, som uppkommer vid olyckshändelse eller vid oaktsamhet under vistelsen. The tenant who is responsible for the cabin is also responsible for leaving the cabin in the same condition as it was found. Should something occur that causes damage of greater value than the deposit, the tenant must contact his insurance company.
