Credit Cards and Payments

Why does BOOKINGS need my credit card details?

Your credit card details are only required as a guarantee for the hotel in case you don't arrive or cancel too late. This might result in a "no-show" charge (generally the equivalent to one night stay) by the hotel. BOOKINGS will not charge your credit card. You will pay for your stay at the hotel.

I do not have a credit card. Can I still book a room?

No, even though your credit card is only used as a guarantee, you will need a creditcard.

Is it safe to fill in my credit card number? How secure is the BOOKINGS website?

Your credit card information is sent to us through a secure server. We use the latest, most secure technology available, which encrypts all your personal and credit card details. The encryption method used is the industry standard "Secure Socket Layer" (SSL) technology. Our SSL certificate has been issued by Thawte.
We also use a firewall which protects our servers and network against unauthorized access. In the unlikely event that your credit card were to be misused, we promise to reimburse you the first 50 Euros on the cost. The credit card is obliged to pay the remainder.

How do I pay the hotel bill?

You pay the room bill in cash or by credit card at the hotel.

Which credit cards may I use?

VISA, MASTER CARD, AMERICAN EXPRESS; some hotels also accept Diners Club, JCB and other local cards.

Reservation Process

How long will it take BOOKINGS to process my booking?

When you have made a booking from the BOOK NOW button, a confirmation email will be sent to you within a couple of minutes.
The most common reason for not getting a confirmation email is typing your email address incorrectly. Therefore, please double check your email address before finalizing your reservation. Also we have noticed that in some cases our confirmation email may end up in your "spam inbox".
If you do not receive an email, please send an email with the details of your reservation to customerservice@bookings.net

Can I book a hotel room by telephone or email?

Unfortunately, we do NOT take bookings by telephone or email. But if you need assistance of any sort you can always call us during office hours or send an email to customerservice@bookings.net

How do I know if my booking is confirmed?

As soon as you have completed the booking, you will receive a confirmation email with your booking number. Direct bookings are confirmed by email within a few minutes.

I have booked a hotel but I did not receive a confirmation by email. What do I have to do?

When you make a booking, please check your email address. If you do not receive an email after you have completed the booking, it might be because your mailbox is full, your spam filter settings are too strict or you did not spell your email address correctly. If you do not receive an email after you have made a booking, please send an email to customerservice@bookings.net.

How many rooms can I book in one reservation?

A maximum of 10 rooms can be booked in any one reservation. If you want to make a reservation for more than 10 rooms, please send an email to customerservice@bookings.net
