Making and Cancelling a Reservation

(a) the Standard Flexible Reservation option is available and you choose to select it, in which case the deposit will be credited back to your H-Reservation account if you cancel your booking in certain circumstances (see below for more details); or

(b) the Free Cancellation Reservation option is available and you choose to select it, in which case the deposit will be refunded back to your chosen method of payment if you cancel your Reservation within the specified time period (see below for more details

You may also be required to pay a flat booking fee for use of the H-Reservation when a Reservation is made with a travel services provider. Where we charge a Reservation fee, it is non-refundable in all circumstances. We do not act as your agent and the Reservation fee is payable for use of the H-Reservation Sites and is separate from any deposit payable to the travel services provider.

Save as set out in the Reservation Conditions, or the travel service provider’s terms and conditions, you will be responsible to the travel services provider on arrival for payment of the balance of the cost of the booking made by you, together with any other payments for any additional services subsequently agreed with the travel services provider and, where applicable, payment of the travel services provider's service charges and taxes, pursuant to the terms and conditions of trade applied by such travel services provider.

2.2 You must use a credit card or debit card to guarantee a Reservation. By making a Reservation with your credit card or debit card, you agree to accept the relevant cancellation and no-show policy of the travel services provider as set out in its terms and conditions. In the event that you cancel your Reservation outside the permitted time-frame specified in the travel service provider’s terms and conditions or in the case of Free Cancellation Reservation the time-frame specified on the H-Reservation Site at the time of Making Reservation (or you fail to arrive by your agreed check-in time), you authorise the travel services provider to charge to your credit card or debit card without further reference to you an amount not exceeding the charge for one night's stay (in the case of accommodation) or such other amount as may be set out in the travel service provider's terms and conditions. Please note that there will be no additional charges for cancellations or no-shows in respect of Non-Refundable Reservation, but you will not be refunded the cost of any part of your Reservation in such circumstances.

2.3 Your non-arrival by the agreed check-in time may result in the cancellation of your entire Reservation. Any amendments to your Reservation must be notified to and agreed with the travel services provider directly (but no refund of all or any part of the deposit will be made). Please note it is not possible to amend Non-Refundable Reservation. In making a booking, it shall be your responsibility to disclose to the travel services provider any requirements or special facilities that you or a member of your party may need as a result of any medical conditions.
