MAKING A BOOKING

We don't require you to pay a deposit as standard, however depending on the nature of the booking, occasionally this is necessary. For example, for group bookings or pet stays. We advise you to get in touch before your stay at [email protected] to clarify any deposit requirements.

Yes - all prices quoted on our website and during booking are inclusive of VAT and local taxes. This is the case both for our apartment rates and add-on charges. So rest assured you won’t be landed with any surprise fees. 

Please note - this is excluding Cove – Centrum where city tax is charged at € 6 per person (aged 14 or older) per night and Wittenberg by Cove where city tax is charged at 12.5% of the room night. Both must be paid upon arrival.

The rates you see on our website are inclusive of all bills. On top of all your utilities and WiFi paid for, Cove apartments come fully furnished and equipped with everything you need for a comfortable and efficient stay - no matter what mode you're travelling in. That includes things like kitchenware, cleaning equipment, and a welcome kit with toiletries, tea and coffee. So all you'll need when you turn up is your luggage.

Cove apartment stays are charged per night, inclusive of VAT. When booking online you'll see the total price for the rooms and number of nights you've requested.

There's no limit on how long you can stay - we'll have you for as long as you'll have us.

Our apartment rates are dynamic and subject to change depending on demand and availability. So if you find a price you're happy with, we recommend booking it as soon as possible, as the price may increase. Note that our busiest times differ depending on the property and location, but apartments are likely to book up quickly over holiday and festival periods. For the best deal, we recommend booking as far in advance as possible (and if you book a flexible rate, you can cancel free of charge).
