Hotel Ratings

The rating shown is the tour operator's own rating and is intended as a guide for comparison purposes only. Tour Operator's usually have their own ratings for when they assess accommodation unless otherwise stated. The rating's that are shown on our website are the Tour Operator's own ratings and are an attempt to give a guide to the overall quality of properties. Tour Operator's universal ratings are usually based on the views taken from customer feedback and of senior managers. Where applicable, official ratings are given by the authorities in the country, and do tend to give a fair impression of relative standards within that country. However, different countries have different standards; so don't assume that a 3-star hotel in one country is equivalent to a 3-star hotel in another.

Your use of these links is entirely at your own risk, and we can't accept responsibility or liability for the content, use or availability of these sites.

Security and Credit Card Fraud Contingency

We have implemented a bank approved encryption system to protect your transactions with us. Any personal details entered including credit card payments will automatically be encrypted using VeriSign Secure Socket Layer (SSL). You will see a padlock symbol at the bottom of your screen to confirm this so you can make your purchase online with complete confidence.

Please make sure that you have supplied us with the correct credit card billing information. If you do not supply the correct credit or debit card billing address and/or cardholder information, the issue of your tickets may be delayed and the overall cost may increase. We do reserve the right to cancel tickets after issue if payment is declined or if you have supplied incorrect credit card information. In addition, we also reserve the right to do random checks (including the electoral roll) in order to minimise credit card fraud. As a result of this, before issuing tickets we may require you to provide us with a fax or postal copy of proof of address, as well as a copy of your credit card and a recent statement.

Financial Protection

Please see the booking conditions of the tour operator or company providing your travel arrangements for details of any financial protection that applies to any booking you make on this website.
