What’s the value of a HotelCoin®?
There is no fixed monetary value of a HotelCoin. The public rates of accommodation advertised on HotelSwaps are set by hotel operators independently from the pre-defined HotelCoins price in the HotelSwaps reservation system. Yet, comparing the publicly available hotel rates with the HotelCoin cost of all past HotelSwaps reservations shows an average value of approximately USD 1 per HotelCoin.

How does HotelSwaps determine the seasonality of a hotel member?
HotelSwaps determines the seasonality of each hotel member based on various sources of seasonality data related to the hotel’s location. Each hotel in the same location will have the same seasonality. We classify each week of the year as low, middle or high season. Seasonality and hotel category determine the HotelCoin value per room night traded in HotelSwaps, as shown in the above schedule.

How does HotelSwaps determine the category of a hotel member?
Hotel members are classified in 7 pricing categories. A hotel’s category is predominantly determined by its publicly advertised room rates for a double standard room across all seasons of the year. Grouping hotels in value categories allows for like-for-like exchanges between hotel members.

Do HotelCoins® Expire?
HotelCoins on your hotel’s HotelCoin account do not expire as long as your hotel is a member of HotelSwaps. HotelCoins transferred from your hotel’s HotelCoin account to a personal Guest account can be used for reservations for a period of 2 years from the day of the transfer - where after they expire. In case a Guest has received more than one HotelCoin transfer, the HotelCoins used for new reservations will follow the First-In-First-Out principle.

How are barter agreements organised with suppliers?
The barter agreement is done directly between the Hotel Member and the supplier in a similar way as if you purchase the product or service with a traditional cash payment. We recommend that the barter agreement includes at minimum: 1. a description of the product or service provided; 2. the cash equivalent value of the transaction; and 3. the number of HotelCoins to be paid. The hotel is responsible for transferring HotelCoins to the supplier as payment prior to the delivery of the product or service. Transactions are non-refundable.

What is HotelSwaps’ involvement in the barter agreement?
HotelSwaps is not a party to the barter agreement between a Hotel Member and a supplier introduced through the Supplier Programme. HotelSwaps acts only as a mechanism for transfer of the HotelCoins to the supplier whenever a Hotel Member instructs us to do so.

How do I account for a barter trade?
Accounting practices will depend on the local jurisdiction of your hotel and HotelSwaps can therefore not advise you specifically on this subject. In most jurisdictions, barter transactions need to be accounted for as two separate transactions: 1. a purchase transaction of the product or service with a cost book entry; and 2. a sale of your HotelCoins with a revenue book entry. As it is a barter trade, the two book entries should have the same transaction value. The specific value shall be agreed between you and the supplier in the barter agreement and will typically be the fair market value of the product or service that you have purchased with your HotelCoins.

Should I declare VAT on a barter trade?
VAT accounting practices will depend on the local jurisdiction of your hotel and HotelSwaps can therefore not advise you specifically on this subject. In most jurisdictions, if you are registered for VAT, you must charge VAT on the accounted value of your barter trade in a similar way as if you have sold your HotelCoins for cash and the supplier will do the same.

Can I barter with suppliers outside the Supplier Programme?
Of course you can. The Supplier Programme is meant to facilitate your access to products and services that can be bartered for using HotelCoins. You are free to use the HotelCoins to barter with whomever you deem relevant for your own business operation.

How does HotelSwaps assess my membership application?
We strive to maintain a network of like-minded hoteliers around the world who can benefit from each other’s unused hotel rooms. Therefore, we project the expected demand from our existing members for a property prior to accepting or declining its application. In order to determine if a new property would contribute to the current portfolio, we study the hotel’s pricing, facilities, overall quality and location.

Do you have a minimum quality criterion?
To maintain a minimum level of quality of hotel members, hotels with published average rates of less than USD100 for a double standard room will often not be accepted for membership.

Other questions
Are there any employee benefit taxes to pay?
Employee benefit taxes will depend on the local jurisdiction of your hotel and HotelSwaps can therefore not advise you specifically on this subject. In many countries, such taxes will depend on the purpose of travel - whether it is for business/training purposes or for a personal benefit. It should also be considered that HotelCoins in most jurisdictions do not have a value before they are used.
