For 'Available' hotel, you will get a room confirmation immediately.

For 'On Request', we will make a request for more allotment at your requested hotel. To get the confirmation, it might take 1-2 working days depending on the hotel's reservation clearing process.

3. What if my requested hotel is not available?
If your requested hotel is not available, our travel experts will try to find alternative hotels of comparable standards and prices in the same area (if available). Then, we will provide you this information for your consideration, by e-mail.

Actually, the hotel check-in / check- out time is at 12:00 p.m. (noon), but we could not guarantee because it is subject to the hotel availability. In case the hotel is fully booked or provide late check out, the room may not be ready at that time.

You can request a late check-in at the time of your arrival, but it is always good insurance to call the hotel directly and let them know that you will be late arriving. A simple phone call will insure peace of mind.

Late check- out is depend on the hotel availability. In case the hotel is not fully booked, the hotel will allow late check- out until 14:00 hrs. WITH or WITHOUT additional charge depending on the hotel policy.

9. Do I need to reconfirm my booking with the hotel directly, or do I only deal with you?
No. As your reservation has been handled directly to the hotel by our network. You, therefore, need not to reconfirm with the hotel, since your booking name and booking number will be shown on the hotel computer list on the allotment cut off date, which is normally about a week before the check- in date; until that time the hotel would not probably have your details.
Note: If you want to be assured if your reservation record will be shown on the hotel computer list, you could call the hotel to check your reservation record 3-5 days before check-in date.

10. If I have any special requirements, such as a bouquet of flowers to be sent to the room, can you arrange that?
For special requirements, kindly contact hotel front desk directly.
