RESERVATIONS

 

Hotel Information. The Hotel Information that we disclose on the Website is based on information provided to us by the Hotel Members. Each Hotel Member remains responsible at all times for the accuracy, completeness and correctness of the description information and availability displayed on the Website. HotelSwaps take no responsibility for the correctness of such Hotel Information.

 

Room type. All Reservations shall be for standard rooms with double occupancy.

 

Reservation. By accepting a Reservation through the Programme, the Guest enters into a direct contractual relationship with the Hotel Member. HotelSwaps acts solely as an intermediary between the Guest and the Hotel Member and does not hold any liability of any form with regards to the services provided by the Hotel Member to the Guest.

 

Reservation confirmation. The confirmation email will serve as proof of valid Reservation and will contain relevant information about the Reservation and particulars of the Hotel Member concerned. Guests are required to read and carefully verify all the information contained in the confirmation email to ensure that it conforms to the Reservation. Guests are required to present the confirmation email when checking-in at the Hotel Member, as well as a valid ID card or passport.

 

Availability of Room Nights for Reservations. For the avoidance of doubt, HotelSwaps cannot guarantee any specific availability of Room Nights for Reservations nor the acceptance of Reservations Requests from Hotel Members.

 

DURING THE GUEST’S STAY

 

Use of facilities and services. During the stay of a Guest at a Hotel Member, the Guest is entitled to use the Hotel Member’s facilities and services based on the same terms and conditions as any other hotel guest.

 

Check-in and check-out. All Guests shall comply with the check-in and check-out timings as displayed in the Hotel Information on the Website.

 

Late arrival. For arrivals after 4:00pm, the Guest should contact the Hotel Member directly before 4:00pm on the check-in date to inform them about such late arrival. In case a Guest fails to inform the Hotel Member in advance about a late arrival, the Hotel Member has the right to reallocate the room to another customer.

 

Guest expenditures during their stay. A credit card print or other such reasonable deposit can be requested by the Hotel Member from the Guest at check-in, to cover any optional consumables during their stay. Such expenditures shall be paid by the Guest upon check-out.

 

Tourism taxes. All city and tourism taxes precluded by law related to the stay of a Guest at a Hotel Member shall be paid by the Guest upon check-out.

 

AMENDMENTS TO THE HOTELSWAPS PROGRAMME

 

Hotel Member withdrawal.  Any Hotel Member may withdraw from their membership of the Programme at any time.

HotelSwaps will not provide compensation in the event a Hotel Member withdraws from the Programme.

 

Changes to the Terms & Conditions.  HotelSwaps reserves the right to modify these Terms & Conditions at any time. This may include, but is not limited to the change of Reservation Fees and the change of Season and/or Hotel Category of specific Hotel Members.
