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!

Best regards,

Hafsa Bou-eddine

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
