If your first preference or category of hotel (star rating) is not available your tour consultant will advise you and suggest alternatives. JHT do not guarantee the availability of your preferred hotel or hotel category. Hotels have contracts with the online booking platforms to provide a certain amount of rooms. This can mean there are times when there are rooms available online to book, but we as travel agents are unable to book a room at the hotel due to the allocation for individuals and travel agencies being full. If you choose to book through an online platform we can only deduct the rate which is as per our contract with the hotel and not the rate that you book the room at online. There will be variations in the size, standard and presentation of rooms and facilities within the one hotel. This is beyond the control of JHT.

Some hotels allow one child sharing parent's room from while others allow two. Also age of children vary from one hotel to another. Some hotels grant children stay at 50% of the adult price. Exact prices will be confirmed at the time of booking/request. At some hotels children are granted 50% off meals while other hotels charge flat rate for meals. Also hotels may apply restricted access times for children into leisure facilities. Kindly ask for all needed details at the time of booking.Children accommodation arrangements and meals are not included within the quoted room rate. When a child shares the room WITHOUT EXTRA BED there are no additional accommodation charges but there will be a supplement charged for any meals required.
