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).
