Frequently asked questions about our luxury hotels and resorts
Too good to be true?
Did you know that online booking platforms like Booking.com and Expedia hide their final price using lead-in rates (fake rates that make their prices seem cheaper than the hotel’s direct rates)? They then have the nerve to hoard their 20-30% commission on your booking. Furthermore, using these third-party platforms prevents you from earning hotel rewards, makes cancelations difficult, and minimizes your access to the hotel’s customer service team (nobody wants to deal with third party booking sites).
But we, at The Guestbook, want to share the love (a.k.a the hotel’s commission) with you! With our Google Chrome extension, you get to “triple dip” your rewards with 5% cash back, plus your existing hotel loyalty rewards and credit card points all for the same booking.
