A 'booking' means any order for products or services you make on our Site which is accepted by us. Acceptance will be made by Flixhotels (and a contract concluded) when we have received full payment from you and sent a confirmation email (from either Flixhotels or the relevant Travel Supplier). All travel products and services featured on the Site are subject to availability.
Flixhotels STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU TAKE OUT INSURANCE FOR ANY HOLIDAY, ESPECIALLY AS THERE MAY BE CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE NEITHER Flixhotels OR THE TRAVEL SUPPLIER CAN ACCEPT LIABILITY (EG DELAYS OR CANCELLATIONS BEYOND OUR CONTROL).
Travel Suppliers
Flixhotels acts as disclosed Agent for third party suppliers and for the purposes of these terms and conditions tour operators, package holiday supplier, hotels, hotel chains and hotel aggregators, insurance and car suppliers shall be included in the term 'Travel Supplier'. When you make a booking via the Site, and your preferred travel product or service is available, the contract will be between the Travel Supplier and you. Flixhotels is not a party to the contractual relationship. Any queries or concerns relating to the product should be addressed to the Travel Supplier. You will see the name and address, plus contact details, for most suppliers in any voucher we or the Travel Supplier send you.
Flixhotels does not assume any responsibility for the travel products and services provided by the Travel Supplier and makes no representations or warranties (express or implied) about the suitability or quality of travel products and services featured on the Site.

The Travel Supplier's terms and conditions will apply in addition to those set out here.

Please refer to your particular Travel Supplier for full details as to the applicable terms and conditions.
Hotels and other Accommodation
We acquire hotel and accommodation star ratings from a variety of sources and offer them as a general guide. However, these are not necessarily the official local rating and you should be aware that standards can vary between hotels and accommodation of the same class in different countries, and even in the same country. Different countries have different standards; a 3 star hotel in one country is not necessarily equivalent to a 3 star hotel in another.
Many hotels and other accommodation, especially in cities and major resorts, accommodate conventions and conferences. Also, at certain times of the year, some destinations have an influx of groups such as students, associations or clubs. We do not have exclusive use of the properties featured on the Site. The hotels we feature are shared with guests from many countries with different cultures and customs and of mixed age groups.
Check-in / Checkout times - Generally guests can check into a hotel or other accommodation around 3pm and check out at 11am, local time. However, local variances may apply. Should you require more precise timings, please contact Flixhotels Customer Services for additional information.
Images - Whilst we endeavour to ensure that property images displayed on our Sites are an accurate and up to date representation of the properties, we cannot guarantee this always to be the case. The images are provided to give a general 'feel' for the hotel.
Amenities, facilities and descriptions - Whilst we endeavour to ensure that property amenities, facilities and descriptions offer accurate and up to date information, we obtain this information from our Travel Suppliers and so cannot guarantee this always to be the case. The information is provided to give a general 'feel' for the property.
Breakfast is not included unless otherwise stated. Some hotels may charge additional local taxes.
In the event of availability or quality issues with your hotel, we will use our best endeavours to relocate you to the same or superior category of accommodation. Should you wish to re-book a different property at a higher price, you will be liable for the additional cost.
Your ability to cancel or modify a booked travel product or service, and the method for doing so, will depend on the specific Travel Supplier's or hotel's terms and conditions. It therefore may not be possible to cancel or modify some products or services or there may be specific requirements you will have to meet.
Modifications to an existing booking can regularly only be made by cancelling the existing booking and by making a new booking, which might lead to changes in rates and/or conditions. Therefore, in case of any amendment request, please contact us beforehand to check the rates and conditions, as these could change.
Cancellations or modifications can only be made if we receive a written request together with payment of any extra fees and associated charges and need to be confirmed by Flixhotels.
In the event that you make any alteration to your booking (including, but not limited to, cancellations, refunds, amendments and name changes), Flixhotels reserves the right to charge you an administration fee of EUR 30.00 per person to cover the administration costs incurred by Flixhotels. These charges do not include any charges imposed directly by the Travel Supplier or hotel. Credit card fees, booking fees and any fees paid for delivery of paper tickets are non-refundable in the event of cancellation.
The timing and collection of payment will be full payment ranging from the moment of booking up to 7 days after booking. The collector of payment will be Flixhotels. Direct Debits and Credit Card Payments will be processed by Stripe Inc.
Before payment is received in full, Flixhotels or the Travel Supplier is not obliged to issue any tickets, confirmations, vouchers, or other travel documents. However, you shall in all cases remain liable for payment of the amounts agreed for the travel products and services ordered.
Payment can be made by all major credit cards as detailed on the Site. Flixhotels reserves the right to pass on any charges relating to card charge backs. If your booking is being paid for with a third party credit card we may require written authorisation to be provided by the card-holder.
Flixhotels or the Travel Supplier reserves the right only to deliver tickets, confirmations, e-vouchers or other travel documents to your credit card billing address when requested to do so by the credit card issuer.
Failure to supply the correct credit billing address information may result in the cancellation of your booking, delays to the issue of your tickets and may make the fare(s) subject to increase. Please ensure that the billing address details you give match those on your billing statement.
Further, in an effort to minimise the effects of credit card fraud, we reserve the right to carry out random checks, including checks of the electoral roll, and may request you to either fax or post to us proof of your address and a copy of the credit card and recent statement before issuing any tickets.
Refunds will be processed to the form of payment used at the time of booking. This will be made payable to the person who made the original payment.
Taxes fluctuate in line with exchange rates.
Flixhotels will not be liable for any subsequent price increase as a result of payment failure. Any price increase must be paid by you before the booking can be confirmed.
It is your responsibility to check and comply with any passport, visa and health requirements.
Liability of Flixhotels.
Your contract is with the Travel Supplier for whom we are acting as agent. While we are therefore unable to compensate you, we will do our utmost to contact the Travel Supplier on your behalf.
Flixhotels does not accept liability where the failure to provide part or all of your booking, death or personal injury is not caused by any fault of us, our agents or Travel Suppliers. In respect of international travel by air, sea and rail, our liability will be limited in the manner provided by the relevant international conventions.
Where Flixhotels is liable for direct loss this will be limited to a maximum of the total price of the products or services in respect of which a claim is made (save for the case of death or personal injury in respect of which there is no limit).
Flixhotels will not be liable for any indirect or consequential loss of any kind in contract, tort or otherwise arising out of your use of this Site or any of the travel products or services booked or purchased on the Site.
Queries and Complaints relating to your Booking
Please contact our customer services team, if you have any other enquiries or complaints relating to your booking prior to departure.
If you have a complaint relating to a Travel Supplier and/or hotel during your stay, please ensure that you officially log your complaint with the relevant Travel Supplier and/or hotel prior to your return.
If you have any other enquiries or complaints relating to your booking during your stay, please contact our customer services team on your return and no later than 30 days after it giving your booking reference and all other relevant information. If we or any of our Travel Suppliers require further information you must supply that promptly in writing. This simple procedure must be followed as we and our Travel Supplier's need to be able to investigate the problem and, where possible, rectify it quickly.
Customer Behaviour
It is your responsibility to ensure that you do not behave in a way which is inappropriate or causes offence or danger to others or which risks damage to property belonging to others (including but not limited to drunkenness, air rage) whilst on your holiday or using a service/product. If your behaviour is inappropriate and/or causes offence, or damage to others, or risks damage to property belonging to others, we and/or our Travel Suppliers (e.g. airline staff) may cancel you booking, in which case our and our Travel Supplier's responsibility to you will cease immediately and you will not be eligible for any refunds, payments of compensation and/or any reimbursement of any cost or expenses you may incur as a result of such termination. Further, you will be liable to reimburse us for any expenses we incur as a result of such termination.
