Scope and Automatic Consent:
By making a binding booking and confirmation of a reservation, each customer (booker) automatically undertakes to respect and comply with these house rules in full.

1. Philosophy & Human Dignity

  • For the coexistence of diverse people, rules and agreements are necessary.

  • We value open, fair, and non-violent discourse and respectful interaction with one another.
  • We do not tolerate any deliberate, targeted, or negligent degradation of personality, as this constitutes a violation of human dignity.
  • This includes in particular sexual harassment, bullying, and discrimination.
  • The subjective perception of the affected person is decisive.

2. Good Neighborliness & Noise Protection

  • We hope that coexistence within the house and with the neighborhood works as well as possible. The need for rest of as many people as possible must be taken into account.

    – From 12:00 AM: maximum 70 decibels
