What does the crossed out rate mean next to my room type?
In the event of a crossed-out rate, we look at the prices currently being charged by the property in the 30-day window around your proposed check-in date. From the prices within this window, we display the third-highest price on offer as the crossed-out rate. To ensure we are making a fair comparison, we always use the same booking conditions (meal plan, cancellation policy and room type). This means that you get the same room for a lower price compared to other check-in dates at the same time of year.

Credit Cards
Can I make a reservation without a credit card?
You'll need a valid credit card to guarantee your reservation with most hotels. However, we are offering an increasing number of hotels that will guarantee your booking without a credit card. You also have the option to book a hotel using someone else’s credit card, provided you have their permission. In this case, when making your reservation please note the card holder’s name and confirm that you have permission to use their card in the "Special Requests" box.
Was this helpful? Yes No We appreciate your feedback!
The hotel has charged my credit card--what should I do?
Booking.com never charges your credit card. Please check the payment conditions in your confirmation email to ensure the charge is not just part of the hotel’s reservation policy. If you think you have been charged in error, please contact the hotel directly.
Was this helpful? Yes No We appreciate your feedback!
Can I use a debit card to complete my reservation?
When you make a reservation, there may be instances where the hotel will contact your credit (or debit) card company to confirm that the card you are using is valid and hasn’t been reported lost or stolen. At this time, they may also check to see if the card has enough money to cover the transaction. This is communicated in the form of a pre-authorization for the full amount of your reservation.The hotel, however, will not proceed with the charge. The time at which your card will be charged will depend on the terms and conditions of your booking.
What’s the difference between a pre-authorization and an actual charge to my credit card?
Pre-authorizations are common but are often confused with actual charges. While in-store purchases are immediately charged and deducted from your available balance, pre-authorizations are temporary holds. The length of the hold will vary, and your credit card company can advise you on how they handle this.
Was this helpful? Yes No We appreciate your feedback!
How will I know if my card has been pre-authorized?
Your available balance will be reduced temporarily by the full amount of your reservation. You may also see “pending transactions” on your credit card account summary. If you’re not sure if your card has been pre-authorized, both the hotel and your credit card company can verify this.
Was this helpful? Yes No We appreciate your feedback!
How long will the pre-authorization hold affect my available balance?
Will the hold always equal the exact amount of my reservation?
In most cases, the hotel will pre-authorize your card for the full amount of your reservation. On occasion, you may see an amount slightly higher than the rate shown on Booking.com. If this does happen, the hotel can explain why this has occurred.
Was this helpful? Yes No We appreciate your feedback!
Will this happen with all bookings made through Booking.com?
Hotels reserve the right to pre-authorize your card, but this doesn't mean it will occur with every booking. Don’t worry, if your card is pre-authorized, both the hotel and your credit card company are there to help. They may also be able to assist you with removing these holds sooner.
Was this helpful? Yes No We appreciate your feedback!
Can I make a reservation for myself using someone else’s credit card?
Yes you can, but only if you have the card holder's permission. In this case, when making your reservation please note the card holder’s name and confirm that you have permission to use their card in the "Special Requests" box, and be advised that the hotel may also require authorization from the card holder. In the case of no-shows/late cancellations, any penalties will be charged to the card provided.
Was this helpful? Yes No We appreciate your feedback!
Why do I need to give my credit card details?
Booking.com only requests credit card details to confirm your reservation with the hotel on your behalf. We will never charge your credit card. The hotel can check (pre-authorize) your credit card to ensure sufficient funds are available. After the check, the full amount will be available to you again. The hotel will only charge your credit card if you have requested a pre-paid room or if the cancellation policy, found under "Hotel Policies" and in the "Conditions" column, has not been followed.
Was this helpful? Yes No We appreciate your feedback!
Which credit cards can I use to complete my booking?
Are my credit card details safe?
Booking.com uses a secure connection for your booking:
