RESERVATIONS PROCEDURE AND POLICIES

 

1. Online reservations

The VRR website enables you to check the accommodation offerings and availability of VRR Rooms, and then submit an online reservation request to the room of your choice.  On completion of the reservation process, the Reservations Facility will transmit an online confirmation of your reservation.  A reservation is only valid when a reservation number has been issued.

It will be necessary for you to provide the correct  details to secure a room reservation. Asc payment will be done offline

4. Cancellations and Amendments

You should make any cancellations or amendments to your reservation using the same VRR channel through which you booked, either online or by telephone.  The cancellations and amendments policy that applies to your reservation will depend on the respective hotel’s policy as advised at the time of booking.

5. Rate/Reservation Validity

Reservation confirmations are provided to you solely for your convenience.  SLH and SLH hotels retain official records of reservation transactions, including details of dates of stay and room rates. In the event of discrepancies, alterations, modifications, or variations between this confirmation and our official records, SLH’s official records shall prevail. Tampering with this confirmation to alter the room rate or any other reservation information is strictly prohibited and will have legal consequences.

6. Early Departure

Some hotels and resorts have an early departure penalty fee and some room rates may also require a minimum stay. You may change your check out date without a penalty only if your rate and the  hotel’s policy permits.

7. Currency

Reservations will be charged in the hotel’s local currency as shown on the website or given over the telephone at the time of booking.  Any currency conversion is for guidance only.  Any deposits or pre-payments will be deducted from the final reservation invoice in the hotel’s local currency.

A refund of a deposit or prepayment, if any, will be subject to the exchange rate applied by your payment card provider at the time of any such refund and may differ from the exchange rate applied at the time such deposit or prepayment was made.

8. Rate Requirements

As some rates have special requirements at check-in, you should verify that you qualify for the rate that you have reserved.   hotels are not obligated to honor this rate if you do not qualify or do not have proof of qualification.

9. Pre-paid Reservations

Some rate plans require prepayment in full and are non-cancellable, non-refundable, non-changeable and non-transferable. This will be identified in the rate description.  For these rate plans, once you make a reservation your credit card will be charged for the full amount. Credit will not be given for any unused reservation and the amount paid by you for such reservation cannot be used toward any other/future reservation.

10. Guarantee Rules

For reservations guaranteed with a credit card at the time of making your reservation, rooms are held until the SLH hotel check-out time on the day following the day of arrival.  The SLH hotel may authorize the room rate prior to arrival and reserve funds, including taxes, on the credit card to determine the validity of the credit card.  Rooms booked with an invalid credit card are subject to immediate cancellation.

11. Overbooking

In the event that a guest cannot be accommodated due to the SLH hotel overbooking or an unforeseen circumstance, the SLH hotel will attempt to accommodate guests, at its expense, at a comparable property in the area for the night(s) for which the SLH hotel is unable to accommodate such guests, and will pay for transportation to that property.

12. Special Requests

SLH hotels will strive to honour any request for specific room types or bed types and some SLH hotels will confirm such arrangements at the time you make your reservation.  Until specific confirmation is issued then your request cannot be guaranteed and neither SLH nor the SLH hotel can guarantee that your request will be honoured.

13. Pets

If you plan to travel with your pet, we recommend that you confirm directly with hotel that the SLH hotel does accept pets.  SLH accepts no responsibility for the pet policy at any individual SLH hotel.  Specific pet policies may require a damage/cleaning deposit at the time of check-in which may be non-refundable.
