Basic Principles

The utmost importance for La Fortezza Guesthouse *** is to ensure that its guests are always satisfied with the services provided. Therefore, their complaints must be examined impartially and comprehensively, within a fair process. This examination can provide valuable information for us. After investigating the complaint, our guesthouse commits to providing a response that thoroughly addresses the outcome of the complaint’s investigation, proposed resolutions, measures taken, or, in case of rejection, the reasons for the rejection. Furthermore, the complainant will be informed of the authority they can turn to with their complaint.
