The hotelier is not responsible if the damage results from an event that, despite the necessary precautions, given the circumstances and consequences, made it impossible for him to avoid it (force majeure).
Likewise, he is not responsible for the damage resulting from the error, even partially, of the customer.
The Civil Code (Law July 4, 1972, B.S. August 19, 1972) governs hotel detention, the articles of which are listed below:
Article 1952: The hotelier is liable as a custodian for damage, destruction or theft of goods brought to the hotel by a guest who moves into the hotel and stays there.
The safekeeping of those matters must be regarded as a safekeeping out of necessity.
The items that are brought along are:
a) Which ones are in the hotel during the time that the guest has a place to sleep there.
b) Which the hotelier or a person who provides his services outside the hotel takes under his supervision during the time that the guest has a sleeping accommodation available there.
c) Which the hotelier or a person providing his services within or outside the hotel takes under his supervision during a reasonable period before or after the time that the guest has a sleeping accommodation available there.
The liability referred to in this article is limited per claim to 100 times the accommodation price per day of the sleeping accommodation.
The King may determine the details for determining that price, where appropriate.
The Royal Decree of 24 June 1973 (Belgian Official Gazette of 14 August 1973) stipulates that the daily price for room rental (to which Article 1952 (3) refers) includes the amount of the overnight price, as published by the hotelier plus a percentage (which may be is provided) for the services offered.
Article 1953: The liability of the hotelier is unlimited:
a) When the goods have been deposited in the hands of the hotelier or of persons who provide his services to him.
b) If he has refused to take matters into custody in respect of which he is obliged to custody.
c) If the damage, destruction or theft of the goods referred to in Article 1952 is the result of fault on the part of himself or of persons who provide him with their services.
The hotelier is obliged to keep securities, money or valuables in custody.
He may only refuse the detention thereof if they are dangerous or if the size of the hotel and the circumstances have an excessive commercial value or cause nuisance.
He may require that the object entrusted to him is stored in a sealed or sealed package.
Article 1954: The hotelier is not liable insofar as the damage, destruction or theft is due to:
a) The guest or person accompanying him, employed by him or visiting him.
b) Force majeure.
c) Theft committed by force of arms.
d) The nature or defect of the case.
Article 1954bis: The rights of the guest are null and void if he does not give notice of this immediately after the damage suffered has been established, except when the damage was caused by the fault of the hotelier or of the persons who provide him with their services.
Article 1954ter: Any statement or clause whereby the liability of the hotelier for the harmful event is excluded or limited is void.
Article 1954quater: Articles 1952, 1953 and 1954bis do not apply to vehicles, nor to items that belong to their cargo and have been left on site, nor to live animals.

The amounts of money that have not been paid on their due date are automatically and without notice of default increased with default interest.
The amount of these interest amounts to the interest that is applied by the "Belgian Banking Association" to cash credits increased by 2%. On the other hand, the hotelier who fails to offer the contractually stipulated stay is liable to the contractor for a flat-rate compensation of 50 euros per agreed and not provided overnight stay with a maximum of 250 euros, which compensation is automatically increased by the interest provided for in paragraph 1.
The aforementioned provision also applies to the hotelier who does not fulfil his contractual obligations towards his customers.

Any hotel bill that is the subject of a price reduction, a refund or a commission allowed by the hotelier will expire in the event of non-payment of the bill on the due date.

The contract for hotel reservation is governed by Belgian law.
All disputes arising from this agreement will be settled before the competent court of the hotelier's place of business. If the customer is a consumer within the meaning of Article I.1, 2 ° Economic Law Code, this provision does not affect the application of Article 624, 1 °, 2 ° and 4 °.
