Так и должно быть???!!!! Is that how it should be???

Please do not pay attention to the dates indicated in the "time of travel". I am writing today 04.01. I did not go, although I was going to 18.01. to 28.01. Of course, Georgia is a good country, but I was going to go skiing there. Now there is as much snow in Gudauri as in Kyiv. There is none in general. But since you can’t do without an advance payment, for three, 700 USD were paid for this period. prepayment to this wonderful hotel. I have no doubt that they are well fed and comfortable, etc. Since there is no snow, I decided to refuse and go to Bulgaria. The final budget is about the same. Problem conditions: 700 c. u. it's 50% prepayment, no snow. Question: In case of cancellation 3 weeks before departure in all Gudauri hotels, is it customary to keep 50% for yourself or only in Tony? Those. 700 USDI listed, I hope for the development of the resort, and not for the owners who understand that the season is under threat, and at this time they are trying to cut down at least something? I agree to pay a penalty well, 200 dollars, but not 50 percent!!! Yes, the proposal was to transfer the reservation to a different date, but like everyone else, I have a job and certain vacation schedules that cannot be adjusted. So naturally this option did not suit me.
