The crossed-out rate is based on the third highest current price of the property for rooms with the same booking conditions in a 30-day window around your check-in date (15 days before and 15 days after check-in date; if less than 15 days are between today and the check-in date, we will use the corresponding number of days after the check-in date to result in a 30-day total). To ensure we are making a fair comparison, we always use the same reservation conditions (meal plan, cancellation policy and room type). This means that you get the same room for a lower price compared to other check-in dates at the same time of year.

Was this helpful? Yes No We appreciate your feedback!

You'll need a valid credit card to guarantee your reservation with most hotels. However, we are offering an increasing number of hotels that will guarantee your booking without a credit card. You also have the option to book a hotel using someone else’s credit card, provided you have their permission. In this case, when making your reservation please note the cardholder’s name and confirm that you have permission to use their card in the "Special Requests" box.

Was this helpful? Yes No We appreciate your feedback!

The charge you see could be any one of the following:

• Pre-authorization: A pre-authorization is just a validity check that temporarily blocks on your credit card an amount roughly equivalent to the cost of your reservation. The amount will be unblocked after a certain amount of time. How long this takes will depend on the property and your credit card provider.
• Deposit or prepayment: Some properties require a deposit or prepayment at the time of reservation. This policy is clearly highlighted during the reservation process, and you can see it in your confirmation email as well. If your reservation allows for free cancellation, this amount is returned to you if you choose to cancel it.
• If you feel you've been charged in error, our Customer Service team is happy to find the best possible solution for you. Please contact us with your reservation number and details of the charge made, and we'll follow up with the property on your behalf.

Was this helpful? Yes No We appreciate your feedback!

In general, hotels can't accept a debit card to guarantee a booking. However, there are some exceptions. You'll be able see if it is possible during the booking process.

Was this helpful? Yes No We appreciate your feedback!

When you make a reservation, there may be instances where the hotel will contact your credit (or debit) card company to confirm that the card you are using is valid and hasn’t been reported lost or stolen. At this time, they may also check to see if the card has enough money to cover the transaction. This is communicated in the form of a pre-authorization for the full amount of your reservation.
The hotel, however, will not proceed with the charge. The time at which your card will be charged will depend on the terms and conditions of your booking.

What’s the difference between a pre-authorization and an actual charge to my credit card?

Pre-authorizations are common but are often confused with actual charges. While in-store purchases are immediately charged and deducted from your available balance, pre-authorizations are temporary holds. The length of the hold will vary, and your credit card company can advise you on how they handle this.

Was this helpful? Yes No We appreciate your feedback!

How will I know if my card has been pre-authorized?

Your available balance will be reduced temporarily by the full amount of your reservation. You may also see “pending transactions” on your credit card account summary. If you’re not sure if your card has been pre-authorized, both the hotel and your credit card company can verify this.

Was this helpful? Yes No We appreciate your feedback!

How long will the pre-authorization hold affect my available balance?

Your card provider can better explain this, along with the general terms and conditions associated with their pre-authorization procedures. These terms vary across the board, so it’s best to contact them for specific details.

Was this helpful? Yes No We appreciate your feedback!

Will the hold always equal the exact amount of my reservation?

In most cases, the hotel will pre-authorize your card for the full amount of your reservation. On occasion, you may see an amount slightly higher than the rate shown on Booking.com. If this does happen, the hotel can explain why this has occurred.

Was this helpful? Yes No We appreciate your feedback!

Will this happen with all bookings made through Booking.com?

Hotels reserve the right to pre-authorize your card, but this doesn't mean it will occur with every booking. Don’t worry, if your card is pre-authorized, both the hotel and your credit card company are there to help. They may also be able to assist you with removing these holds sooner.

Was this helpful? Yes No We appreciate your feedback!

Yes you can, but only if you have the cardholder's permission. In this case, when making your reservation please note the cardholder’s name and confirm that you have permission to use their card in the "Special Requests" box, and be aware that the hotel may also require authorization from the cardholder. In the case of no-shows/late cancellations, any penalties will be charged to the card provided.

Was this helpful? Yes No We appreciate your feedback!

In most cases, Booking.com requests credit card details to confirm your reservation with the hotel, on your behalf. Your credit card may be checked (pre-authorized) to ensure that it is valid and/or that sufficient funds are available. After the check, the full amount will be available to you again. In some cases, your credit card details will be used to process the payment for the reservation at the time of booking. Your credit card will only be charged if you have requested a prepaid room or if the cancellation policy, found under "Hotel Policies" and room "conditions" has not been followed.

Was this helpful? Yes No We appreciate your feedback!

Usually this is not a problem; you can arrange for an after-hours check-in with most hotels. However, you should always confirm with the hotel. You can use the "Special Requests" box in the booking process to inform them of your estimated arrival time in writing.

• You can manage your booking online to request check-in outside of the standard hours.
• You can contact the property directly using the contact details in your booking confirmation.

It's important to remember that the property can't always accommodate these requests. They'll be happy to let you into your room early if possible, but there might not be anyone there in person to welcome you if you arrive late at night at a remote apartment. It's always best to check with the property directly and in advance to avoid confusion.

Everyone who books through Booking.com will be invited to write a review after their stay.

Was this helpful? Yes No We appreciate your feedback!

You are not able to edit a review once it has been submitted.

Because of the number of reviews we receive, it can take a few days before it appears on the website.

Phishing is the fraudulent practice of sending emails claiming to be from reputable companies in order to get people to reveal personal information, such as passwords and credit card numbers.

Was this helpful? Yes No We appreciate your feedback!

We take all attempts to illegally collect personal data from our partners and guests very seriously – especially when the intention is to profit from such illicit activity.
If you receive an email that appears to be from Booking.com but you believe may not be authentic, please report it to us immediately.

Was this helpful? Yes No We appreciate your feedback!

You can report a phishing attempt or a potentially suspicious email by sending it to us at [email protected].
There are two ways of doing this:

1. We prefer to receive suspicious emails as attachments because this is the best way for us to track them effectively. So open a new email message and attach the suspicious email you received.
2. If you can't send the email as an attachment, you can forward it to us instead.

Was this helpful? Yes No We appreciate your feedback!

The best way to protect yourself from phishing is to learn how to recognize a phishing attempt.

Think before you click on links in emails, especially if they are from unknown sources. Instead, move your mouse pointer over the link to reveal its true destination. If the destination of the link seems different from where the email is telling you it will bring you, it might be suspicious.

You should also avoid shortened URLs in emails from unknown sources.

Be Smart About Email Communication

• Never send sensitive information in an email.
• Never provide your passwords by email or over the phone to anyone, not even us!
• Scammers use fake phone numbers in emails to mimic authentic communication from reputable companies. When you want to contact us, use only the phone numbers displayed on our official website: http://www.booking.com/content/contact-us.html.

Stay Up to Date and Check Before You Click

• Check that your anti-virus software and anti-spyware programs are up to date.
• Make sure that you are using the most up-to-date software.
• Try to have a different password for each of your online accounts and use a password manager to keep track of them all.
• Look for the green padlock icon in the address bar of your browser. This tells you that you are browsing on a secure website – if it’s not there, the website might not be secure. You can click on this padlock to see who “owns” the website.
