    Important

    • During the course of the year, some accommodation establishments may change their name or commercial branding, which may not be interpreted as a change in hotel or booking amendment.

    • In some countries, there is a local tax known as "visitors' tax", “city tax” "tourist tax" (or similar) and other fees including (but not limited to) resort fees or service charges, which shall be paid directly by the end consumer at the establishment and/or at the airport. BEDSONLINE shall use reasonable endeavours to provide, at the time of booking, an estimation of the applicable fees and/or local tax(es) attributable to each individual booking and payable at the time of booking and/or locally on arrival (“Local Tax/Fee Estimation”), however please note that BEDSONLINE does not warrant that the Local Tax/Fee Estimations shall be accurate and the AGENCY acknowledges and agrees that the Local Tax/Fee Estimations are provided as estimates only. The AGENCY further acknowledges that Local Taxes and Fee Estimations, may change from time to time. As a result, BEDSONLINE cannot be held liable for any loss, costs or damages incurred as a result of the provision of such Local Taxes/Fee Estimations. Confirmation of and the accuracy of the Local Taxes/or Fee Estimations is ultimately the responsibility of the AGENCY.

    • The hotel categories have been supplied by the establishments themselves, always pursuant to specific regulations that govern each country. Consequently, a hotel in one country may not be similar in terms of service provision and quality to that of another country, even if they are placed in the same category.

    • The information on hotels supplied through BEDSONLINE is as close as possible to the indications of the establishment itself. BEDSONLINE will not be responsible for the lack of reliability of the information supplied by its providers.

    • BEDSONLINE will supply information that the Hotel provides it with in relation to the existence and duration of repair or renovation works taking place in it. BEDSONLINE will not accept claims for works about which it was not informed or which continue for longer than their communicated end-date.

    With respect to Accommodation Services: discounts or special terms and conditions will always be deemed applicable in the case of children sharing a room with 2 adults.

    COTS: Due to the limited available stock of units that establishments may have, if this service is required it should be indicated upon making the booking. Additionally, direct payment to the establishment by the end consumer may be required.
