Hi all, Thank you for your feedback. We have looked into this and corrected the policy with the hotel: - Reservations made prior to 1 April 2025 will be charged one night only as deposit. - Reservations made from 2 April 2025 onwards will be charged the full stay amount. The hotel will make the necessary adjustments on the booking platform. Have a great week ahead!

Hi,
Just so you are all aware: The venue hotel for RIPE90, Epic SANA Lisboa, requires FULL payment of your entire stay once you book it. I am disappointed that RIPE engages with properties that enforce these requirements. A one-night deposit or just holding your credit card would be a lot more "normal," in fact I am rather surprised this doesn't violate EU law, but hey, I don't live in the EU.
Given the limited number of rooms available at the venue hotel, I am sure I am not the only one wanting to book early, but paying 6 months in advance does seem rather extreme IMO.
You have been warned.
Ole
