  • Once my booking is confirmed, how do I find my Tax Invoice/Receipt?

    Your confirmation e-mail will contain a link to your Tax Invoice/Receipt. You can also retrieve this after your stay by entering your Booking ID and e-mail address into the ‘View My Booking’ form on the ‘My Booking’ tab of our site.

  • I received my Confirmation Voucher, but the hotel says they are not holding a room for my client.

    Many hotels will simply hold your room as confirmed, but do not require guest names from us until a couple of days prior to your check in date. We have guaranteed your room with the hotel, but may need to use a different booking number than the one contained on your voucher. This will not affect your confirmation.

  • When will my credit card be charged?

    If you have booked a hotel on instant confirmation, your card will be charged immediately and you will receive your confirmation voucher after the payment has been processed. If you have selected an ‘on request’ hotel, your card will be held as guarantee of payment and will only be charged once the hotel has been confirmed. If the hotel is unavailable, your card will not be charged and we will notify you.

  • I don’t have a credit card, can my client pay cash on arrival?

    No. Your hotel booking can only be confirmed with either full pre-payment or a deposit. This must be by credit card or any of our other accepted forms of payment detailed on the credit card form on our website.

  • Is it safe to use my credit card?

    Yes. We treat the security of our client’s information matter very seriously. To ensure your security, all credit card transactions are secured by SSL, which encrypts the credit card number so as to make it undeliverable to any other party.

  • Do I have to submit my credit card details online?

    Yes. We only accept credit card payment online via our secure payment gateway.

  • What types of credit card payment do you accept?

    We accept the following credit cards/payment cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Diners Club, JCB, Maestro (Not German EC card), Solo, Switch and Visa Electron.

    Unless specified, airport transfers are not included in the room rate.

  • Are taxes included in the rate?

    All taxes and charges are included in the room rate, except where specified and except for some countries such as the United States, where additional taxes will be detailed on your final itinerary. If you have paid a deposit for your booking, you may be required to pay local taxes upon checkout from your hotel.

  • Can I request an early check in or a late check out?

    We understand that your travel plans may mean an early arrival or late departure from your destination. Hotels will usually do all possible to assist you with your request, but this can only be guaranteed by the hotel on the day of your check in or check out. Standard check in time is between 12 noon – 3pm and standard check out time is between 10am – 12pm. This may be displayed on your hotel voucher. If you wish to guarantee an early check in or late checkout, an additional night will need to be purchased.

  • What is the cost of parking at the hotel?

    Unless specified, parking is not included in the room rate. An additional charge may apply for car parking. Your confirmation voucher will include contact details to call the hotel directly with your request.

  • When I search for a hotel, all hotels appear as “Unavailable”. Why is that?

    There are a few reasons why you will receive this response: a. The hotel may be booked for at least one of the dates you have requested; b. The hotel may have a minimum stay policy; or c. You have selected dates during a busy period (such as an event or holidays) and there is no hotel availability left for your destination.

  • There are no rates for the dates I require, what should I do now?

    If the hotel you selected appears as “On Request”, this may be due to your booking request being too far ahead. The hotel may not yet have provided rates for the dates you require. You may contact our Customer Service Team for assistance.

  • My hotel selection is “On Request”, what does this mean?

    If your chosen hotel is showing “On Request”, this could be due to a busy period (such as an event or holidays). We will need to contact our hotel or supplier to negotiate additional rooms at our discounted rates which may take between 24 – 48 hours to confirm.

  • My hotel selection is “On Request”, what should I do now?

    If your chosen hotel is showing “On Request”, you can still go ahead and enter your payment details and we will contact the hotel to request additional rooms at our discounted rates. If the hotel is able to confirm, we will process your credit card and send you a confirmation voucher. If the hotel is unable to confirm, we will not charge your credit card. We will do all possible to offer you an alternative hotel should this occur.

  • Are there any inclusions with this rate?

    If there are inclusions added to the rate, they can be found on the hotel information page by clicking “Book”.

  • When will I receive my booking confirmation?

    Your booking will be confirmed instantly upon submitting your valid credit card details via our online payment form. You will receive your confirmation voucher via e-mail immediately after your booking has been finalized.

  • Where can I view directions to the hotel?

    Location information of the hotel is listed on the Hotel Description page. This can also help identify distance from the airport or proximity to popular landmarks.

  • Will the room I book look exactly like the image on your website?

    The images contained on our website will display a small selection of the many types of rooms available for that hotel. The room you book may not match the image provided on our website.

  • Where can I find contact details for a hotel?

    The address of the hotel is displayed on the Search Results page of our website. Direct contact details are also displayed on your confirmation voucher.

  • What do “No Facilities” and “Shared Bath” mean?

    They both mean the same thing which is that your room does not contain private bathroom facilities.

  • I have lost my Travel Agent log in details, what should I do now?

    If you have lost your Agent ID or password, you can request a reminder on our homepage. Enter the e-mail address you used to join and an e-mail will be sent to you instantly.

  • What is the confirmation voucher?

    This is what your client will need to present at the hotel upon check in. It is their proof of payment. Your clients voucher is e-mailed to you once you have completed your booking with us.
