Hotel Booking Service

  1. Scope of service. By making a reservation or booking through Travelzoo’s hotel booking service, you enter into a direct (legally binding) contractual relationship with the hotel at which you book. From the point at which you make your reservation, Travelzoo acts solely as an intermediary between you and the hotel, transmitting the details of your reservation to the relevant hotel and sending you a confirmation email for and on behalf of the hotel. We may charge a fee for the service we provide when you book or reserve travel services or accommodations through Travelzoo’s hotel booking service. The information disclosed on this Site regarding each hotel is based on the information provided to Travelzoo by the hotel. While Travelzoo has exercised due care in attempting to check the information provided by the hotels, Travelzoo cannot guarantee that all information is accurate, complete and correct, nor can Travelzoo or its affiliates be held responsible for any errors (including manifest and typographical errors), any interruptions (whether due to any (temporary and/or partial) breakdown, repair, upgrade or maintenance of our Site or otherwise), inaccurate, incomplete, misleading or untrue information (including, but not limited to, inaccuracies relating to hotel photographs, hotel property descriptions, and lists of hotel property amenities) or non-delivery of information. Each hotel remains responsible at all times for the accuracy, completeness and correctness of the information shown (including the rates, availability and taxes) displayed on our Site.
  2. Prices. Prior to booking your reservation, a total estimated price (including estimated taxes and fees) will be displayed. When you complete your booking, you authorize Travelzoo to book reservations on your behalf for the total estimated price. All charges are shown in United States dollars, unless otherwise stated. The room rate displayed on the Site is a combination of the room rate provided to Travelzoo by the hotel for the room you reserve and a fee retained by Travelzoo to compensate us for our services. Prices, rates and inventory are subject to change based on availability from the hotel and may change at any time prior to receipt of your booking confirmation. The "taxes and fees" amount displayed includes an estimate of transaction taxes (e.g., sales and use, occupancy, excise and value added tax), government fees and other charges that the hotel must remit to the government for your hotel reservation. The type of tax charged by the hotel may change at any time and will vary by service and location. The hotel suppliers are solely responsible for remitting applicable taxes to the applicable taxing jurisdictions. The hotel reserves the right to charge you additional taxes, service fees, resort fees or hotel charges (including, but not limited to, resort fees, parking charges, minibar charges, room service charges, housekeeping fees, phone call charges, movie rentals, etc.). These charges, if applicable, will be payable by you to the hotel at checkout. You shall be completely responsible for all charges, fees, duties, taxes, and assessments arising out of the use of this Site and the booking of your hotel room. Please contact the hotel directly as to whether any additional taxes, service fees or charges apply. In the event a service is listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information, Travelzoo and/or the hotel retain the right to refuse or cancel your reservation whether or not the order has been confirmed. If available, we will offer you the opportunity to keep your pending reservation at the correct price or will cancel your reservation without penalty. Travelzoo and/or the hotel are under no obligation to provide travel services to you at an incorrect (lower) price, even after you have been sent confirmation of your booking.
  3. FREE extras. We have negotiated with hotels to offer special benefits called Free extras with certain bookings based on rates and availability. Please note that Free extras are not available for all rates and bookings or other hotel deals displayed on the Site and therefore it is important that you read the booking details carefully so you understand what your booking entails and whether you are entitled to receive a Free extra. If a Free extra, or any portion thereof, cannot be provided by the hotel for any reason whatsoever, the hotel and/or Travelzoo reserve the right to substitute the perk with another perk or no perk at all if one is not available at the time of your stay. Free extras are not guaranteed. Unless otherwise noted, all extras are per room, per stay and can only be used once at the time of your scheduled booking and can no longer be used after checkout. The estimated dollar value of the extras is based on information provided to us by the hotel and may vary depending on availability and market conditions. Extras have no cash value and cannot be redeemed for cash or a cash value. No refund or credit will be issued for any unused extra (or portion of an extra). A complimentary breakfast Free extra is based on the total number of travellers entered at the time of the booking and the hotel may, at its option, limit this amount to a maximum of two guests per room per stay. Breakfast may be available only in select hotel restaurants and a hotel may decide that an extra is not valid for in-room dining. Room upgrades and early check-in/late check-out are based on availability and cannot be guaranteed. Any recipient of a Free extra that involves alcoholic beverages must be of the appropriate legal age in accordance with applicable law. Other restrictions may apply. Offer is subject to change or cancellation at any time without notice.
  4. Credit Card. Hotels require credit card or debit card details in order to guarantee your reservation. As such, Travelzoo will send your credit or debit card information directly to the hotel at which your booking is made and Travelzoo may verify (i.e., pre-authorize) your credit card as well. Upon check-in, guests may be required by the hotel to present a valid ID and/or credit card or, in the hotel's discretion, debit card, in their name that is consistent with the transactional details provided to Travelzoo. For certain rates or special offers, please note that your credit card may be pre-authorized or charged by the hotel (sometimes without any option for refund) upon reservation and confirmation of the booking. In such circumstances, you agree that your credit card or debit card may be charged for the total estimated reservation price. Please check the room details and the booking terms thoroughly for any such conditions prior to making your reservation.
  5. Changes or Cancellations. By making a reservation with a hotel, you accept and agree to the relevant cancellation and no-show policy of that hotel, and to any additional (delivery) terms and conditions of the hotel that may apply to your reservation during your stay, including for services rendered and/or products offered by the hotel. The terms and conditions of a hotel can be obtained with the relevant hotel. The general cancellation and no-show policy of each hotel is made available on our Site on the hotel information pages, during the reservation process and in the booking confirmation email. Please note that certain rates or special offers are not eligible for cancellation or change. Hotel cancellation policies vary. If you fail to check in to your hotel on the day of your reservation and do not alert the hotel, the remaining portion of your reservation may be cancelled, you may be subject to hotel-imposed penalties and you may not be entitled to a refund, depending on the terms and conditions of the applicable hotel. Please check room rate details and booking terms thoroughly for any such conditions prior to making your reservations. If you would like to review, change or cancel your reservation, please review the confirmation email and follow the instructions therein or call our Customer Service. Please note that you may be charged for your cancellation in accordance with the hotel’s cancellation and no-show policy.
  6. Disability Needs. If you have disability needs (for example only, you need a wheelchair accessible room), you must call the hotel and verify that your disability need can be met. If your disability needs cannot be accommodated by the hotel, please call Travelzoo’s Customer Service.
  7. Special Requests. Depending on the hotel and the reservation you book, you may or may not be able to select your room type and number and type of beds. Room assignments are based on hotel availability and are at the hotel’s sole discretion. Travelzoo cannot guarantee a non-smoking room. If you have special requests (including, for example, preferences for smoking or non-smoking rooms, a specific room, particular bedding, floor location, proximity to an elevator, connecting rooms, or pet accommodations), you must call the hotel and verify that special requests can be met after you have made your booking. Since Travelzoo has no control over which room a hotel will assign you, Travelzoo may not be able to accommodate special requests in advance of your booking and cannot guarantee that special requests will be met. In addition, frequent traveller points, upgrades, certificate vouchers and other discounts or incentives may not apply to Travelzoo’s hotel services.
  8. Correspondence. By completing a booking, you agree to receive email communications which we may send you (or your guest) shortly prior to your arrival date, giving you information on your destination and providing you with certain information and offers (including any Travelzoo promotions, offers or deals) relevant to your reservation and destination. We may also send you an email promptly after your stay inviting you to complete our customer review form.
  9. Hotel Ratings. Hotel ratings displayed on this Site are intended as only general guidelines, and Travelzoo and its affiliates do not guarantee the accuracy of the ratings or the consistency of the ratings across other online or offline platforms. Travelzoo reserves the right to change a hotel’s ratings at its sole discretion at any time with or without notice.

Best Rate Guarantee Terms

If you find a lower rate published online within 24 hours of your booking through Travelzoo and comply with all of the following terms and conditions, we will match the rate or refund the difference to you. The Best Rate Guarantee applies to the room rate only and does not include any charges for taxes, service fees or any other charges a hotel may charge (e.g., resort charges, parking). You can submit a claim by contacting Customer Service within the 24-hour deadline.

Following submission of a claim, Travelzoo Customer Service will contact you shortly thereafter via e-mail or phone. If we are unable to replicate the lower rate, we may request additional information and documentation (such as a screen shot of the lower, published online rate) from you in order to verify the lower online rate. Please keep a copy of all such documentation. The lower rate must be available for booking and visible on the other website at the time you contact us, as determined by our Customer Service team. Once we have received a complete and accurate claim form and Customer Service has verified your claim, we will notify you by email and match the rate or refund you the difference after you have completed your stay.

In order to be eligible for our Best Rate Guarantee the following conditions must be met:

The Best Rate Guarantee applies to rates available on the World Wide Web and does not include rates available through other reservation channels. The Best Rate Guarantee is not available for reservations on websites or applications where the name or location of the hotel or other reservation details is unknown until after you purchase or where you name your own price. The Best Rate Guarantee applies only to rates both advertised online and available to the general public. For example, the Best Rate Guarantee will not apply to negotiated rates (e.g., corporate discount rates, group rates, meeting rates or convention rates), special discounted rates to organizations or members (e.g., AARP, AAA, employee, seniors, military, government, travel agents) or other rates not available to the general public. The Best Rate Guarantee also does not apply to hotel rooms purchased through or in combination with a membership program, frequent stay, loyalty, points or other "reward" type programs or rooms purchased through coupon promotions, travel vouchers, promotion codes or won through contests or sweepstakes. The lower rate cannot be in any way connected to a packaged deal (such as rates that include a combination of a room and airfare or car rental) or involve the use of a coupon or other promotion not offered or advertised to the general public. The lower rate may not come from a website where you call to get the rate or from an email that you received. Travelzoo may deny claims where the difference between the rates is less than one percent of the room rate. Additional restrictions may apply.

Travelzoo reserves the right to determine in its sole discretion whether a claim qualifies for the Best Rate Guarantee. Travelzoo is the final authority on interpretation of these rules and all requests are subject to verification by our Customer Service. We will not accept screenshots or other purported evidence of a lower price that we cannot independently confirm. Nor will we verify any request that we believe, in our sole discretion, is the result of a printing or any other type of error or is made fraudulently or in bad faith. We may also deny claims where we determine that the difference between the rates is due to exchange rate fluctuations. Travelzoo will not be liable for the payment of any claims under the Best Rate Guarantee with respect to rates loaded in error by Travelzoo or the hotel or from any printing, typographical, administrative or technological errors relating to rates backed by the Best Rate Guarantee.

Travelzoo has the right to deny any claims that cannot be independently verified at the time it processes the claim, or for which incomplete information has been provided. A Best Rate Guarantee reward will only be provided if the individual making the valid claim stays in the reserved hotel room. Only one refund per qualifying purchase will be allowed. Travelzoo reserves the right in its sole discretion to modify, terminate or discontinue the Best Rate Guarantee or to restrict its availability to any person, at any time, for any or no reason whatsoever, and without prior notice to you. Void where prohibited by law.

THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF A COVERED PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

FURTHER, THE HOTELS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS ON THE SITE ARE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS AND NOT AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES OF THE COVERED PARTIES. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COVERED PARTIES DO NOT ASSUME LIABILITY FOR ANY INJURY, DAMAGE, DEATH, PROPERTY DAMAGE, LOSS, ACCIDENT OR DELAY DUE TO AN ACT, ERROR OR OMISSION OF A HOTEL OR SERVICE PROVIDER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, AN ACT OF NEGLIGENCE OR THE DEFAULT OF A SERVICE PROVIDER, OR AN ACT OF GOD. THE COVERED PARTIES SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY AND WILL MAKE NO REFUND IN THE EVENT OF ANY DELAY, CANCELLATION, OVERBOOKING, STRIKE, FORCE MAJEURE OR OTHER CAUSES BEYOND THEIR DIRECT CONTROL, AND THEY HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY ADDITIONAL EXPENSE, OMISSIONS, DELAYS, RE-ROUTING OR ACTS OF ANY GOVERNMENT OR AUTHORITY.

IF, NOTWITHSTANDING THE ABOVE, A COVERED PARTY IS FOUND LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE RELATING TO THE USE OF THIS SITE, USER AGREES THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PARTY SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE TRANSACTION FEES ASSESSED BY TRAVELZOO FOR YOUR TRANSACTION ON THIS SITE. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY REFLECTS THE ALLOCATION OF RISK BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so some of the above may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law. In addition, to the extent allowed by applicable law, you agree that you will bring any claim or cause of action arising from or relating to your access or use of this Site within two (2) years from the date on which such claim or action arose or accrued or such claim or cause of action will be irrevocably waived.

Travel Destinations

You are responsible for ensuring that you meet foreign entry requirements and that your travel documents, such as passports and visas (transit, business, tourist, and otherwise), are in order and any other foreign entry requirements are met. Although most travel, including travel to international destinations, is completed without incident, travel to certain destinations may involve greater risk than others. Travelzoo shall not be liable for damages or losses that may result from travel to such destinations. Travelzoo urges passengers to review travel prohibitions, warnings, announcements and advisories issued by the United States Government and the aviation administration prior to booking travel to international destinations. Information on conditions in various countries and the level of risk associated with travel to particular international destinations can be found at www.state.gov, www.tsa.gov, www.dot.gov, www.faa.gov, www.cdc.gov, www.treas.gov/ofac and www.customs.gov.

BY OFFERING TRAVEL SERVICES TO PARTICULAR INTERNATIONAL DESTINATIONS, TRAVELZOO DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT TRAVEL TO SUCH POINTS IS ADVISABLE OR WITHOUT RISK AND IS NOT LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OR LOSSES THAT MAY RESULT FROM TRAVEL TO SUCH DESTINATIONS.

Arbitration and Applicable Law

To the extent permitted by law, this Agreement and the provision of our services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with New York law (without giving effect to any conflict of law principles).

If you have a Dispute (as defined below) with us that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court, you will NOT have the right to pursue a claim in court or have a jury decide the claim, and you will NOT have the right to bring or participate in any class action or similar proceeding in court or in arbitration. BY USING OR INTERACTING WITH THIS SITE OR USING ANY OF THE SERVICES OR PRODUCTS OFFERED BY TRAVELZOO, YOU AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

“Dispute” means any complaint, dispute, or disagreement you may have against us, and any claim that we may have against you, whether based on past, present, or future events, arising out of or related in any way to the Agreement or regarding (i) your use of or interaction with the services and products offered by Travelzoo, (ii) any purchases or other transactions or relationships related to your use of services and products offered by Travelzoo, or (iii) any data or information you provide to us or we gather in connection with such use, interaction or transaction (collectively, "Travelzoo Transactions or Relationships").

Many Disputes can be resolved by an informal dialogue with our customer service staff. If you have a Dispute with us, before initiating an arbitration, you must send an individualized, written notice describing the Dispute to Travelzoo customer support. Promptly following receipt of such notice, you and we will try to resolve the Dispute by email exchange or telephone or videoconference. If the Dispute is not resolved within 30 days of starting this dialogue, then either you or we may initiate an action in a small claims court that has jurisdiction over the Dispute and is reasonably close to your place of residence or work, or initiate an arbitration as described below if the Dispute is ineligible to be adjudicated in small claims court.

Any Dispute that we are unable to resolve through the informal procedure described above and is ineligible for small claims court shall be resolved exclusively by final, binding arbitration ("Arbitration"). The Arbitrator may issue orders to protect the confidentiality of proprietary information, trade secrets or other sensitive information. Except as discussed below in clause 1 (Mass Arbitrations), the Arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator administered by JAMS or its successor ("JAMS") and conducted in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules And Procedures (or, if the amount in controversy exceeds $250,000, the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules And Procedures) in effect at the time the Arbitration is initiated (respectively, the "Applicable Rules"). The Applicable Rules can be found at www.jamsadr.com. This Section shall not prevent any party from seeking provisional remedies (that is, a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction) from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.

  1. Mass Arbitrations. For any matter that involves twenty (20) or more arbitration claims that (a) involve the same or similar parties; (b) are based on the same or similar claims which arise from the same or substantially identical transactions, incidents, or events requiring the determination of the same or substantially identical questions of law or fact; and (c) involve the same or coordinated counsel for the parties, Arbitration will be conducted by ADR Services, Inc. (“ADR Services”) (https://www.adrservices.com/). The rules of ADR Services will govern all aspects of the arbitration, except to the extent those rules conflict with this Agreement. The ADR Services fee schedule that governs “Mass Consumer Non-Employment” matters will apply, or a different apportionment of fees if agreed to by ADR Services, Travelzoo and you, subject to clause 5 (Arbitration Costs) below. If Travelzoo is the party initiating an arbitration against you, Travelzoo will pay all costs associated with the arbitration, including the entire filing fee.
  2. No Class Relief. The Arbitrator shall have no authority to entertain or arbitrate any claims on a class or representative basis. Except as stated above in clause 1 (Mass Arbitrations) regarding mass arbitrations, the Arbitrator shall have no authority to consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any applicable arbitration rules, disputes regarding the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this class waiver may be resolved only by a court and not by an arbitrator. If this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration.
  3. Arbitrator Will Interpret This Agreement. The Arbitrator shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the validity, interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement and/or these arbitration provisions in this Section, including any claim that all or any part of this Agreement or this Section is void or voidable, except (i) as expressly provided above in clause 2 (No Class Relief), and (ii) for disputes about any of the following procedural issues, which may be resolved by the state or federal courts in New York City, New York: (A) whether a claim is barred by the applicable statute of limitations, (B) whether a claim may be brought in small claims court, (C) whether a plaintiff or the company has complied with the pre-arbitration notice and negotiation requirements, (D) whether an arbitration should not proceed because the claim or proceeding does not comply with this arbitration agreement. The Arbitrator shall apply New York law (without giving effect to any conflict of law principles) consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law.
  4. Location of Arbitration. The Arbitration shall be held either: (i) at a location determined under the Applicable Rules that is reasonably convenient for you and is no more than 100 miles from your home or place of business; or (ii) at another location you and we agree upon. If the only claims asserted in the Arbitration are for less than $50,000 in aggregate, the Arbitration may be held by telephone, video conference, or written submission.
  5. Arbitration Costs. If the Arbitrator finds that the costs and fees of Arbitration will be prohibitive for you as compared to the costs of litigation, we will pay as much of your filing, arbitrator, and hearing fees in the Arbitration as the Arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the Arbitration from being cost-prohibitive, regardless of the outcome of the Arbitration, unless the Arbitrator determines that your claim(s) were frivolous or asserted in bad faith.
  6. Interpretation and Enforcement of Arbitration Clause. Except for clause 2 (No Class Relief) above, if any provision of this Agreement or this Section is unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this Agreement and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. But if clause 2 (No Class Relief) is found to be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then this entire arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor we will be entitled to arbitrate any dispute between us and you, and must instead bring any claims subject to clause 9 (Dispute Resolution Only If A Tribunal Has Ruled That Arbitration Is Prohibited) below.
  7. Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement. If you do so, neither you nor Travelzoo can force the other to arbitrate. To opt out, you must notify Travelzoo within 30 days of first becoming subject to this arbitration agreement by emailing Travelzoo customer service with your full first, middle and last name, email addresses used to access any Travelzoo services or products, postal address, confirmation that you used Travelzoo’s services or products for the first time within the last 30 days and the statement that you wish to opt out of the arbitration agreement in the Travelzoo Terms and Conditions. If any of the above information is not accurate, your opt out may not be valid and in that event we reserve the right to enforce the binding arbitration agreement in this Agreement.
  8. Modification of Arbitration Clause With Notice. This version, and any modification of these arbitration provisions shall apply for claims made on or after the effective date of this version (or such modifications) even if the Travelzoo Transactions or Relationship giving rise to such claims occurred prior to this version (or such modification). If any modification is deemed to be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then the arbitration provisions effective at the time of your agreement to this Agreement shall govern any dispute or disagreement between you and us regarding Travelzoo Transactions or Relationships.
  9. Dispute Resolution Only If A Tribunal Has Ruled That Arbitration Is Prohibited. If a court with appropriate jurisdiction prohibits arbitration of a dispute in accordance with this Section, then the state or federal courts in New York City, New York shall have exclusive jurisdiction over the dispute, and to the maximum extent permitted by the mandatory laws in your country of residence, this Agreement and any dispute arising out of or related in any way to this Agreement or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes), will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York and the United States, without giving effect to any conflict of law principles.
  10. Dispute Resolution Only if a Tribunal has Ruled that Arbitration is Prohibited by Applicable Law (Non-Arbitrable Disputes). The following Section applies only where applicable law, as determined by a court with appropriate jurisdiction, prohibits arbitration of disputes in accordance with the preceding Section on arbitration (“Non-Arbitrable Disputes”). In such case, you and we agree to send a written notice to the other providing a reasonable description of the Non-Arbitrable Dispute, along with a proposed resolution of it. Our notice to you will be sent to you based on the most recent contact information that you provide us. But if no such information exists or if such information is not current, then we have no obligation under this Section. Your notice to us must be sent to:

    Travelzoo
    Attn: Legal Department
    590 Madison Avenue
    35th Floor
    New York, NY 10022

    For a period of sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of notice from the other party, we and you will engage in a dialogue in order to attempt to resolve the Non-Arbitrable Dispute, though nothing will require either you or us to resolve the Non-Arbitrable Dispute on terms with respect to which you and us, in each of our sole discretion, are not comfortable.

    The parties agree that the state or federal courts in New York City, New York shall have non-exclusive jurisdiction of any Non-Arbitrable Dispute.

The foregoing provisions will not apply to any legal action taken by us to seek an injunction or other equitable relief in connection with any loss, cost, or damage (or any potential loss, cost, or damage) relating to the services or products of Travelzoo including use of the Site (including such as we may claim may be in dispute), our operations, our intellectual property or other rights.

You agree that regardless of any statute or law that establishes a longer statute of limitations, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, any claim or cause of action (including any arbitration) arising out of, related to or connected with the use of the Site or any other of Travelzoo’s services or products or the terms of this Agreement, or other Travelzoo Transactions or Relationships, must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
