Sure! If you’re booking for tonight, just take extra care when reading the policies and entering your information. Many properties allow you to book for tonight without a credit card. However, if you're entering credit card details for a last-minute booking, make sure you have checked the details and ensured the card is valid, as we may not have time to contact you if there is an error.

• Free cancellation means you can change or cancel your booking free of fees, if done within the time period set by the hotel. This is written in the room conditions and in your confirmation (for example "Cancel up to x days" or "Cancel before mm/dd/yy hh:mm").

Information regarding extra beds can be found under "Hotel Policies." Please take note of the following:

All the facilities listed under the room type are included in the room price. To see the facilities, just click on the room name. You can see if breakfast or anything else, such as taxes, are included by rolling your cursor over the text in the column called "Conditions." This information will also be in your confirmation email, and can be found in your account when you sign in. If you don’t have an account, you can create one here.

The price we show is for the room for the entire length of the stay, unless otherwise stated in the room type and description.

This depends on the hotel and the room type selected, but it’s easy to see what's included by checking the text under the room name. Tax requirements change from country to country so it's always good to check. You can see more detailed information about what is included in the price by moving your cursor over the text in the "Conditions" column. This information will also be in your confirmation email and can be accessed via My Booking.com.

This depends on the hotel and the room type. You can see if it's included by checking the text just below the room name. If it's not included, you can move your cursor over the text in the column "Conditions" to find out if it's available and what, if any, the additional costs are. This information will also be included in your confirmation email and at My Booking.com.

No, we don't charge any fees at all.

The crossed-out rate shown for rooms is based on the third highest current price of the Supplier for your product or service 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 (e.g. 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.

Booking.com provides the best available rates for the dates of your stay. It's not possible to have any further reductions on the price.

Information regarding children can be found under "Hotel Policies." Please take note of the following:

• Added fees for children, if any, are not included in the reservation price.
• During the online booking process, please note your request for any extra beds/cribs in the "Special Requests" box provided.
• If you’ve already booked your stay, just click on the link provided in your email confirmation or at My Booking.com to request an extra bed.
• We suggest calling the hotel prior to arrival to guarantee your request. You will find the hotel’s contact information in your confirmation email.

No, you cannot use discount coupons when booking on our website. In such cases you will need to follow the instructions given by the organization issuing the coupon.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

To guarantee a reservation via Booking.com all hotels accept:

• MasterCard
• Visa

Some hotels also accept other credit cards for the actual payment of stay; these are indicated during the booking process.

Booking.com uses a secure connection for your booking:

• Your personal data and credit card details are encrypted.
• Our secure server uses "Secure Socket Layer" (SSL) technology, the online industry’s standard.
• Our SSL certificate has been issued by Thawte.

Please contact the hotel directly. You can find their contact information in your confirmation email or online via My Booking.com. For security reasons, never provide your credit card details by email.

For each reservation, Booking.com provides a unique and anonymous alias email address for both you and the property. All messages sent to this alias email will be forwarded to the property, including links, images, and attachments (up to 15 MB).

For security purposes, Booking.com has an automated system that monitors communication for malicious content. This includes spam and the limitation of certain file types, such as .zip, .rar and .exe.

Please be aware that email communication generated by the property will be sent on their behalf by Booking.com. Booking.com cannot be held accountable for the content of the communication. If you suspect that the content of the communication is inappropriate, suspicious or contains spam, we ask that you report this information by clicking on the link at the bottom right corner of the email.

All communications will be stored by Booking.com for up to 6 months after check-out. Booking.com can access direct communications upon request from either you or the property, and if strictly necessary, for security or law enforcement purposes, such as fraud detection and prevention.

Booking.com may analyze anonymous communications to improve its services. If you don't want Booking.com to monitor or store your direct communications, please do not use the direct communication features offered by Booking.com, including direct communications through alias email addresses.

The payment process for your stay varies based on the individual hotel and room type. You can check how you will be charged for your stay in the "Hotel Policies," in the room description under "Conditions" and in your booking confirmation.

Most hotels don't require a payment or deposit in advance. If they do, you can find the details under "Hotel Policies" on the hotel’s page and in your confirmation email.

It depends on the hotel. Please contact the hotel after your booking to be sure, and to make the necessary arrangements. You can find the hotel’s contact information in your confirmation email or online at My Booking.com.

In most cases the hotel will accept payment for the stay on a different card or in cash. Please ensure that the new card or cash is accepted by the hotel.

During the booking process you can enter any special requests into the "Special Requests" box on the "Your Details" page. Once you have received your booking confirmation, you can follow up with the hotel directly to confirm that your request can be met.

No, bookings are for a one night minimum stay only. Booking.com can only reserve hotel rooms, not meeting rooms or conference facilities.

The number of bedrooms should be clearly stated in the room description. If the information is not there, or is unclear, you can always contact us. If you have already made your reservation, you can contact the hotel directly with the contact details provided in your confirmation email and at My Booking.com.

Many hotels on our website can accommodate groups.

• Please note that the number of rooms assigned to a group varies for each hotel and that special conditions may apply for group bookings. You can view this information under Hotel Policies.

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. Once you’ve received your confirmation you can follow up with the hotel directly using the contact information provided.

• You can specify your estimated check-in time while making the reservation.
• 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.

Check-in/check-out times differ for each hotel. You can find a specific hotel's check-in/check-out times in the "Hotel Policies" section at the bottom of the hotel's page, as well as in your confirmation email.

To see the full list of room facilities and room photos, just click on the room type (e.g. "Queen Room"). You can find all of the hotel's facilities just below the list of room types under "Hotel Facilities."

A late check-out can only be arranged with the hotel and usually depends on availability at the time of your stay. You can ask about the possibility at the front desk upon arrival.

If there are no rooms listed as "smoking rooms," it means that the hotel does not allow smoking in rooms.

Pet policies are always displayed on the hotel’s page under "Hotel Policies."

As soon as you've completed the booking process the confirmation page appears. We also email a copy of this confirmation to you. Your confirmation includes all of your reservation details, as well as a booking number and your PIN code. Your booking number and PIN code will only be needed if you contact Customer Service. You can also access your confirmation online, see details of your reservation, or make changes to your booking anytime by signing in to your account. If you don’t have an account, you can create one here.

Your PIN code is the 4-digit number on your booking confirmation which, along with your booking number, lets us easily recognize you if you contact Customer Service.

In the interest of better serving our customers and improving the lines of communication between hotels and guests, you may occasionally receive such emails. When sending these emails, we use email aliases to protect the privacy of our customers. And on occasion, our system will automatically forward the email from the hotel to our customers by using these aliases. Please be aware that this correspondence will be generated by the hotel and sent via Booking.com on their behalf. As such, Booking.com cannot be held liable for the content of the message. If you feel that the content of this message is inappropriate or contains spam, we ask that you report this information by clicking on the link located in the bottom right corner of the email.

Yes, it’s easy. You can cancel or change your booking by signing in to your account. If you don't have an account, you can create one here. Please remember to check the property's cancellation policy before making any changes to your booking. Non-refundable rooms and other special deals can have a different cancellation policy. Room-specific cancellation information is included next to the room type under the "Conditions" column.

Cancellation policies vary from room to room. You can usually cancel or change your booking up to 24 hours before your planned arrival time. You can check to see what a hotel’s policy is, and whether they will charge a cancellation fee, under "Hotel Policies." This information is also included in your confirmation email. Please note that if your room is non-refundable or part of a special deal, it may have a different policy. You can see specific room policies under the "Conditions" column next to "Room Type."

Room-specific cancellation information is included next to the room type under the "Conditions" column. Please note that with special deals, the cancellation or deposit policy differs from the normal policy, so make sure to check both. The specific information relevant to your booking will also be included in your confirmation and on My Booking.

Dates of stay for Secret Deals and non-refundable bookings cannot be changed because they have special low rates. If you choose to cancel reservations for these types of rooms, you might be charged according to the hotel’s policy.

The hotel’s contact information is listed in your booking confirmation. Please remember to have your flight details ready.

We invite you (by email) to write a review after you have booked through us and stayed at the hotel.

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

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.

No. Once we've checked for obscenities, we post all reviews as they were submitted (both positive and negative).

Absolutely not. We are proud that all of our reviews are written by real guests who have stayed in the hotels they are reviewing.

Yes, you have the option to leave a review anonymously. In this case only your country, date of review and your traveler type (e.g. "Solo traveler," "Mature couple," etc.) will be shown.

Yes, you can. We support the website in 43 languages. We suggest that you write your review in the same language as your booking.

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.

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.

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.

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.
