We kindly ask you to remove the shower tiles after every shower to avoid limescale deposits. Leave the window and, if possible, the door open for ventilation. No hygiene products, waste, leftovers, harmful liquids, grease or similar should be thrown or poured into the shower or toilet, as this can lead to unpleasant blockages. Please use the facilities provided.

Damage
No one intentionally damages things, but it can happen to anyone that something gets broken. If this should happen, we kindly ask you to report the damage to us immediately, so that we do not discover it only after your departure during the final cleaning.
