General questions

1. Are my personal details and my credit card secure?

Our site is secure – upon entering your details, these will be encrypted. We store a minimum of customer information and no longer than it is required. We pass to the hotels only necessary information.

Prices change depending on a whole range of factors so it’s not possible to predict. Some hotels offer their best rates far in advance then raise them as rooms fill up.
