No bait and switch.
Ever tried to make a reservation with a hotel only to be told later
on that it is fully booked and wonder if the hotel really is fully
booked? Or perhaps find out later the hotel still has rooms available?
To be sure it can happen, quite legitimately - especially in the
peak season and around major holidays. In most cases the hotel has
given allotments for some of its rooms to travel agents to sell.
These allotted rooms are considered sold unless and until the travel
agents, unable to sell the allotted rooms within the specified time,
'return' the rooms to the hotel. At that time the hotel will again
have rooms available. Sometimes though some unscrupulous operators
will tell you the hotel is fully booked and try to push you to another
hotel - usually where the operator has a special deal (read: make
more profit at your expense).
Whilst we at HK-Hotels.com can not always guarantee room availability
100% of the time, we do our best to advise our customers in advance
when we know that a hotel is fully booked. Close-out dates for all
the nearly 40 hotels in HongKong we have contracts with are listed
below (if there are no hotels listed below then all the hotels we
work with have rooms available).
In addition, on each hotel webpage we post any closeout dates directly
under the room rate information (however should you wish, you can
still make a reservation and be put on a waiting list).
