I have booked an apartment via booking.com and today i got an email saying:
Hello & Servus from Vienna!
According to the Austrian Law you have to register all arriving guests:
GUEST REGISTRATION
Please note that there is no reception at the apartment.
Unregistered guests do not get access to the apartment.
Thank you in advance.
Does this law exist?
I ask because I don't want to give my information to a random person for no reason. The website they send me to is https://www.my-bookings.cc just with some ID so it looks like my apartment room. I need to input my name, address in my home country, passport ID.
One thing that is suspicious to me is that the domain is .cc
. If it is by law in Austria shouldn't the government register it under the Austrian domain name?
