We recommend taking out cancellation insurance – Hotelstorno Plus: 

The following reasons for a cancellation or interruption by the guest with regard to COVID-19 are covered: 

• because you develop symptoms of COVID-19
• because your temperature is measured higher, even if a later test result is negative
• because you tested positive for COVID-19 without showing symptoms,
• because a close relative or someone living in the same household is sick with COVID-19 and your urgent presence is required,
• because a close relative in the same household is sick with COVID-19 and you therefore have to go into quarantine, or
• because you are unable to travel during your stay due to your illness and have to extend it. There is coverage in the context of the involuntary vacation extension
