In the apartment where From lived, the hotel policy on booking mentioned that extra beds were not available for an extra fee, and there was no mention of other dining policies. However, when I checked in, the front desk asked me to add the dinner and breakfast fees for my baby, which was more than 500 Norwegian kroner. The apartment fee included the breakfast and dinner fees for two people, so I said that we wouldn't eat here. He said that was not possible. If you stay here, you must include this fee. You must add money. I have traveled to Europe several times, and I know that hotels are strict about per-person fees, so I always check if it's okay to bring children. Only if it's okay, will I book. I haven't encountered such a situation in all the hotels I've stayed in. I think you can add money, but it should be clearly stated in the policy how much extra money is needed for babies of a certain age. However, the hotel didn't write anything. A 10-square-meter apartment costs 2000 yuan per day, plus 2500 yuan for breakfast for the baby. The location is relatively poor compared to other apartments, but since it was the first day of our trip, I didn't want to affect my mood, so I didn't say anything and just added the money. The next day, we set off for Aurland. I just want to remind everyone of this ?
Norway Q&A
Hello, I am a crystal expert. Swarovski crystals are made in Austria and are considered luxury goods. In most countries, luxury goods are subject to high taxes, which can vary depending on the country and the specific product.
In terms of the tax refund for Swarovski crystals, it depends on the country you are in and the tax policy of that country. In general, if you are a non-resident of the country and you purchase Swarovski crystals and other luxury goods, you may be eligible for a tax refund. However, the amount of the refund will depend on the tax rate in the country you are in and the specific product you are purchasing.
As for Nike shoes, the tax refund policy may vary depending on the country and the specific product. In some countries, Nike shoes may be considered luxury goods and subject to high taxes, while in other countries, they may not be subject to taxes at all. It's best to check with the local tax authorities or the retailer where you plan to purchase the shoes for more information on the tax refund policy ?
