Why do some hotels require a credit card imprint on check-in?

This is a standard requirement in most hotels worldwide and is only taken as a precaution, so as to guarantee payment of any incidental charges (such as telephone calls, room service & resort fees etc.). But on check-out, the hotel will usually give you the option of paying by cash instead.

Some hotels may levy daily or weekly resort charges for room safe's, air-conditioning or gym/leisure facilities and where these are confirmed to us, we will normally display them - if you are in any doubt, please contact our reservations team, who will gladly call the hotel to clarify prices.

Many US hotels have ' honor bars ' which contain goodies, games, drinks, condoms etc and work on a system of trust, in that guests must leave money each time they take something from the bar or pay at reception on departure - if payment is not made at the time, the hotel will reserve the right to levy the charge after the client's departure and may seek payment either direct or through their supplier.

When I search some apartments it states the board basis as self catering / room only. Do these have kitchen facilities or is it just the room?

The kitchen facilities are included in all self catering studios and apartments and suites. The reason it states room only means that no meals are included. If the description states either twin/double or standard room on self catering/room only basis, this will be a hotel room only with no kitchen facilities.

back to the top of the page

Why is the price I am originally quoted different from the final price?

The first price is the estimated price and the second is confirmed price. The estimated price is based on the arrival date and does not take into account the ages of any children travelling and any extra supplements as a result.

Different hotels specify different maximum ages for passengers to be classed as children, though the most common maximum child age is 12. If you are travelling with children, you will be asked to enter the ages of the children travelling with you. The age(s) you enter must be the ages at the time of travel, up to and including the day of departure.

We contract rates though a variety of sources and sometimes these may be described differently.

back to the top of the page

The accommodation was available when I made the booking, why does the confirmation screen now state that it will take a further 2 working days to confirm my booking?

Some rooms require further confirmation because they might have sold out from the time you did your availability scan to the time of confirmation. We will try our best to confirm the room(s) within 2 working days before we contact you by e-mail.
