Yes

Yes, guests with a Dutch bank account can use iDEAL to make a booking. If a hotel allows this type of booking, you will see the iDEAL option on the booking form. Most hotels offer two or three guarantee methods (credit card / deadline / iDEAL).

In order to provide you with a better service, we charge a service fee for specific deals. The service charge covers a small percentage of the costs that Hotels.nl makes to arrange exclusive deals with the hotels at very attractive rates.

While making your booking, you can pay the service charge straight away by making use of iDEAL. If you prefer, however, you can also pay the service charge after completing your booking by means of a manual bank transfer. Please also add 'SK' (short for service charge in Dutch) followed by your booking number. Make sure to add the correct booking number, so that we can properly process your payment. Information on the bank account can be requested via info@hotels.nl .

No. Hotels.nl will not charge your credit card. The hotel requires these details to be able to charge your credit card in the event of a 'no show' or a late cancellation of your booking. There are also room types that can be booked at a low rate on Hotels.nl, where your credit card will be charged immediately on arrival. This is clearly stated on the website; next to the room types in question. Please note that Hotels.nl will not charge your credit card, payments are made through the hotel.

Yes. It usually isn't a problem if you wish to pay in cash or by debit card; you can specify this at the hotel.

This is clearly stated on the website next to the room type in question.

This may have to do with the expiry date of your credit card. The booking cannot be made if your credit card expires prior to your departure date.

Yes, that's possible. Some hotels do perform an authorization check on a credit card to check if it's valid. This means that the hotel will reserve an amount on your account as a guarantee for the booking. This amount may range between the cost of the first night and the total cost of your booking. The hotel may take this precaution in the event you do not cancel your booking (a 'no show') or a late cancellation. The amount reserved will be released again after one or two weeks. However, there are special room types on our website that can be booked at a low price but have a condition that the credit card is charged immediately after the booking is completed, or upon arrival at the hotel. This is clearly stated on the website next to the room type in question.

In order to protect your privacy Hotels.nl is secured with an Extended Validation certificate for extra safe-keeping. The connection is encrypted via SSL with 256-bit AES. A 2048-bit RSA encryption key is used for this purpose that is signed and verified with Norton, by the renowned computer security company Symantec.

All guests who have made a booking via Hotels.nl will receive an email from Hotels.nl after staying in their chosen hotel with the opportunity to review the hotel and their stay. Besides tips and the pros and cons, guests can allocate a score in five categories (hotel score) and guests can indicate whether they would recommend the hotel to other guests (recommendation percentage). A maximum of 1 review can be written per booking. The hotel score is calculated as follows: It concerns a moving average of all reviews from the last 365 days (reviews older than a year are also shown). Only if the number of reviews from the last 365 days amount to 5 or more, do we believe the number to be sufficiently representative and will we place this score online. The recommendation percentage for a hotel is calculated as follows: The number of questions answered 'yes' is divided by the total number of questions answered and then multiplied by 100 (in order to arrive at a percentage). We believe that only a score of 80% or higher is worth a thumbs up. We check each review manually before placing it on our website. In doing so, we pay attention to the following points: We like to see that a review: - is substantiated by opinions and facts - is clearly written with attention to language. - next to a rating in numbers, also consists of at least 20 characters. - is a good representation of the stay. We will not place your review if: - insulting language is used. - a language other than Dutch, German or English is used. - contact information such as a telephone number, addresses and/or websites are mentioned. - fluctuating information such as prices are mentioned. - other hotel booking organisations are mentioned. - the content is too sketchy, for an example a review with empty words.
