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.
