Epidemic wedding hotel

Marriage is a major event in life. Most married people will choose to hold a wedding, and many people will choose to hold a wedding in a hotel. Then, affected by the epidemic, the hotel wedding that had been booked could not be held. The hotel does not refund the deposit at this time. Did the hotel do the right thing about this? Who is in charge of this matter? Let me talk about my views and thoughts on this matter for reference only.

First, from the customer's point of view, from the customer's point of view, this Chongqing man booked a hotel, including a wedding banquet, because of the epidemic, so he couldn't do the wedding. In principle, the hotel should refund him. This is because although he paid a deposit and booked a hotel, it was not because the man didn't want to do it. This is because there can't be a large-scale gathering because of the epidemic, so Chongqing men don't have weddings because of this problem. In principle, hotels should.

Second, from the hotel's point of view, if the hotel accepts reservations, it will not be rented out to others at this time. If both parties break the contract for some reason, it is reasonable for the hotel not to refund the deposit. Why do you say that? Because after the hotel is booked, the hotel will make material preparations for the wedding banquet on this day. If people don't come at this time, it will be a loss for the hotel. So from the hotel's point of view, since the other party has broken the contract, there is naturally no need to refund the deposit. Although the hotel knows that this reason is force majeure, it doesn't want to lose itself.

Third, how to avoid this situation? In fact, it is easy to avoid this situation, which is a problem that has not been carefully considered. When the problem is considered carefully enough, such problems can be avoided. For example, when signing a contract with a hotel, we should consider some special circumstances. For example, this situation belongs to force majeure and can be written in the contract. If the wedding banquet cannot be held due to force majeure, the hotel should refund the deposit, which actually solves all the problems, because it has been agreed before, even if the hotel is willing.

In fact, we should look at this problem from two angles. If the hotel doesn't hold a wedding because of the epidemic, it can actually claim compensation as a party, so the hotel will refund the deposit at the last moment. But if we think we won't do it with the hotel, it is a unilateral breach of contract, and the hotel will naturally not refund the deposit. For these problems, we only need to book them in the contract to solve all the problems. The above are personal opinions and are for reference only.
