Munich Court Lets Traveler Cancel Package Holiday Over Misleading Renovation Claims

The ruling places liability on the tour operator for a travel agent’s assurances with example photos.

Overview

  • The Amtsgericht München dismissed the tour operator’s lawsuit to recover €657 in cancellation costs in case Az.: 112 C 7280/25.
  • The customer booked a nearly €2,000 Egypt package after being told all hotel rooms were renovated and shown “Wohnbeispiel” images from the operator.
  • Subsequent research and a call to the organizer confirmed that no renovated room was booked or available for him.
  • The court found a significant travel defect because the trip lacked the agreed condition of a renovated room, which it attributed to the operator.
  • The judgment is not yet legally binding and may be appealed, so any broader legal effect remains uncertain.
