Searching

How do I find available hotels for the period I want to stay?

In the search menu on the left containing the check-in and check-out data, please select the dates of your stay and tick ‘Show only available hotels’.

How do I search for hotels by price?

In the selection box at the top left of the search page you can list the hotels by price (when searching for available hotels on a specific date), popularity, class or name.

Where can I find the contact details of the hotel?

You can find the address on the hotel page. The contact details will be given, after you have made the reservation, in the confirmation email.

Where can I find the directions to the hotel?

At the bottom of the overview page of the hotel you can find travel information with details on location and directions. In the hotel's page there is an extensive map of the area around the hotel.

Room Types

What's the difference between a Double room and a Twin room?

A double room has one double bed. A twin room has two single beds.

We have two small children; can we get extra beds in the room?

In general one extra bed for one child is available at a minor additional charge. However, please note that this possibility depends on each hotel’s policy and availability. We advise you to check the overview page of the hotel, or to send an email to customer.service@booking.com.

Can I generally request an extra bed for a third person in a double room and at what costs?

It will depend on each hotel’s policy and availability. Once you have retrieved the availability for a specific hotel for the requested dates, you can access the room description by clicking on the room name. If the possibility and the costs of an extra bed in the room are not specified in the room description, please send an e-mail to customer.service@booking.com.

Pricing

Are the rates on your website per person or per room?

All rates on the HotelItalia.it website are per room per stay, unless stated differently.

Do I pay a reservation fee?

No, we will not charge you a reservation fee.

Is breakfast included in the price?

Once you have retrieved the availability for a specific hotel for the requested dates, you can click on the room name to find information about breakfast, taxes and room facilities.

Are taxes included in the room rates?

Once you have retrieved the availability for a specific hotel for the requested dates, you can click on the room name to find information about breakfast, taxes and room facilities.

Do you offer special discounts (for seniors, airlines employees, etc)?

HotelItalia.it provides the best available rates for the dates of your stay. The discounts are already included and therefore it is not possible to have any other discount on the confirmed price.

Can I use discount vouchers (e.g. issued by magazines, shops, etc.)?

No, via our website it is not possible. You will have to book through the organisation issuing the voucher.

Credit Cards and Payments

Why does HotelItalia.it need my credit card details?

In general your credit card details are only required as a guarantee for the hotel in case you do not arrive or cancel too late. This might result in a no-show charge (generally the equivalent to one night's stay) by the hotel. HotelItalia.it will never charge your credit card. You will pay for your stay at the hotel.

Does the hotel need a deposit or a payment in advance?

You will pay for your stay at the hotel. If the hotel requires a deposit, it will be clearly mentioned on the overview page of the hotel. However, note that some hotels perform a pre-authorisation check on your credit card as an extra guarantee. A pre-authorisation is a validity check to reserve a certain amount that would guarantee the room. This amount may correspond to the price of one night or to the total cost of your reservation. Once the credit card has been validated, the reserved amount will be released.

What types of credit card can I use to guarantee the reservation?

MasterCard, Visa and American Express are accepted as a guarantee. However, it is possible that the hotel does not accept all of these for payment. Please check at the bottom of the overview page of the hotel in the “Hotel Policies” section for ‘Accepted credit cards’.

Can I pay for my stay in advance?

Please note that such arrangements depend on each hotel’s policy. Therefore, you will need to contact the hotel directly. The hotel’s contact details can be found in your reservation confirmation e-mail.

Can I pay for my stay at the hotel with a different credit card than the one used to guarantee the reservation?

As the credit card details are only needed for guarantee purposes, you can pay at the hotel using the payment method of your choice.

My credit card has been charged. How can I get a refund?

HotelItalia.it never charges our guests’ credit cards. The charge has been performed by the hotel. Therefore, you will need to contact the hotel directly. The hotel’s contact details can be found in your reservation confirmation e-mail.

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

Unfortunately all hotels require a credit card to guarantee a reservation. We are not able to process any reservation without a credit card.

Is it safe to fill in my credit card number? How secure is the HotelItalia.it 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 unauthorised access. In the unlikely event that your credit card were to be misused, we promise to reimburse you the first 50 euros of the cost. The credit card is obliged to pay the remainder.

Reservation Process

How do I know that my reservation is confirmed?

When you have completed the four steps of the reservation process, an instant on-screen confirmation will appear. It will show your reservation details as well as your booking number.

Can I book a hotel room by telephone or email?

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

Also we have noticed that in some cases our confirmation email may end up in your spam folder. If you do not receive an email after you have made a booking, please send an email with your booking number and details to customer.service@booking.com.
