If you are requesting a new apartment and you are not renewing your current rental agreement, you will be required to pay a new Service Fee. This fee does not apply to any extensions of your current rental agreement.


5. Can tenants get a refund of their Wunderflats Service Fee?

You as a tenant are eligible for a refund of your paid Service Fee if the reservation of an apartment is cancelled due to issues with Wunderflats or the landlord. In such cases, you can continue with other apartments without paying the Service Fee again. If you decide to not move on with another apartment, please contact our support team at +49 30 12086220 or write us via email to booking@wunderflats.com. Your booking manager will manually process the refund for you.

However, if you choose not to proceed with the apartment despite the possibility of finalizing a rental agreement, we regret to inform you that the fee will not be refunded, as it compensates for our services already rendered. You are welcome to proceed with another apartment without needing to pay the fee again.

If you have requested a viewing of the apartment and the apartment does not suit you after the viewing or a viewing is not possible, you can continue with another apartment without paying a new Service Fee. Please note that a refund of the Service Fee is unfortunately not possible in this case. 

6. How long does it take to receive a refund?

Once our Booking team accepts the refund claim, refunds are processed within 8 business days - depending on the payment method. 

  • for Stripe payments, it takes up to 3 business days 

  • for bank transfers, it takes up to 8 business days

If you haven’t received your refund within this timeframe, please get in touch with our accounting team at accounting@wunderflats.com.
