Dear Friends,

Have a question? Below are some of the most frequently asked questions that we receive and our responses. If you have a question that's not covered please, by all means, drop us an e-mail and we'll be happy to answer.

Thank you.

Just what is the #1 FAQ ?

Q. We work for XYZ Airline or ABC Travel Agency - can we get an airline or travel agency discount ?
A. In most cases hotels will give a discount for airline employees - the amount of the discount varies from hotel to hotel but it is important to know that the discount is based on the hotel's published rate - not our internet selling rate.

As such in most cases the airline discount will most likely be less than PhuketHotels.com's special discount rates - (read you will probably pay more). That said, since we have no way of verifying who works for what airline we are not able to process airline discount requests. You will need to apply for your discount when checking in.
And regarding travel agency discounts - If you really do work for a travel agency you certainly don't need PhuketHotels.com to apply for a travel agent discount on your behalf.

  • Is the Rate Quoted per Room or per Person?


     

    All rates unless otherwise specifically stated are quoted on a per room per night basis with two persons occupying the room (double occupancy).


    We wrote to PhuketHotels.com but have not received a reply. Why?


     

    We do our best to reply to all legitimate e-mail inquiries within an hour or so. However, if you have not received a reply it is more than likely due to one of the following causes :
    - Incorrect email address: More often than not, the email address that was provided to us was not correct. Please check that your email address is correct and resend.
    - Incorrect Date: We sort email by date and if the date on your email server or computer is wrong we may not be aware that you have sent us an e-mail.
    - Not Received: Not often, but every once in a while we simply do not receive your email.
    - Other: Some email servers, most notably AOL and Earthlink in the US have spam filters in place that do not deliver "unauthorised" email without prior approval - please check and make sure that your email server will accept email from stay@phukethotels.com. And finally, without a confirmed reservation, we do not provide contact details for any hotel and ignore such requests.


    How does the reservation system work with PhuketHotels.com?


     

    First, after you have found a hotel to your liking, click on the reservation form fill in all the blank fields and submit (the more information we have the quicker we can process your reservation). PhuketHotels.com's reservation staff will check with your requested hotel for availability. If room/(s) is/(are) available we will advise you, via email, that a booking has been made in your name. Likewise, if no room is available we will advise you of that and suggest alternative accommodations. We do not 'bait and switch' - usually hotels that are fully booked are posted in advance (click here to view).

    All hotels require a deposit or credit card to confirm the booking (to cut down on bogus reservations). As such in order to confirm your booking you will need to forward your credit card information within 48 hours. We will provide you with the location of our secure server or, if you prefer, you may email or fax this information to our office. If we do not receive your credit card details within 48 hours, the reservation is cancelled. Please be advised that PhuketHotels.com will not charge any amount to your credit card. We only pass this information onto the hotel. Once we have the credit card information we will email to you the hotel's confirmation number or code.

    At that time you are subject to the hotel's cancellation policy (up to 21 days notice must be given prior to arrival for stays during the peak season) or the entire length of stay reserved may charged to your account by the hotel. However each hotel has its own cancellation policy which is posted on the hotel's reservation form. Read this information carefully. Hotels in Phuket have very strict cancellation policies. If you have any changes to your booking you must advise us accordingly. We confirm all cancellations with the hotels.


    All rates are in Thai Baht. Can you quote in other currency?


     

    Sorry, no. The rates are quoted by the hotels and, for any number of reasons, are in Thai Baht -  it is not up to PhuketHotels.com.


    Some hotels are 'Preferred Hotels' - what does this mean?


     

    Since staring PhuketHotels.com, we have made countless site inspections at hotels throughout Phuket. We have conducted quarterly rate surveys and have received a fair amount of feedback from our clients - so much so - that we feel confident in pointing out which hotels provide the most value for money in any given price range.

    Preferred hotels are those hotels where the management has, over the years, demonstrated an effort to offer superior value for money in terms of facilities, customer service, friendliness and cleanliness.


    What about my privacy, what do you do with the information you collect?

     

    We value your privacy as much as we treasure ours. When we contact a hotel to confirm a booking we only provide to the hotel that information which the hotel would normally obtain during check-in or registration. We do not use any of information you have given us for any other purposes nor do we sell, rent or give your information to any 3rd parties. We never have and we have no plans to do so. For more information please click here.


    Do I need a visa to travel to Thailand?

     

    For many countries yes. For more information please click here.
    However things have a way of changing and it is best to get more complete, up to date  information at the nearest Thailand Embassy. For a list of Thailand embassies around the world please click embassy information.


    Is there any fee to cancel a reservation made with PhuketHotels.com?


     

    No. As long as you abide by the hotel's cancellation policy advance notice (see reservation procedure above). Again, each hotel's policy is different and every hotel's policy will be written on the hotel's reservation page.


    Can you help me change reservations I made with another company?


     

    Sorry, no. Inasmuch as we can not verify the authenticity of the requesting party we can not take responsibility to forward any commercial communications whatsoever. You will need to contact the travel agent, hotel or reservation service that made the reservation in the first place.
