Accommodation:
Accommodation standards vary quite dramatically throughout the regions of the world and are often smaller than equivalent properties in the US, Canada, UK, Australia & New Zealand. The hotels in 101bilge.com tour programs are generally selected for their location, facilities and price, however in some areas we may need to use basic accommodations which is regarded as “best available”. Classifications are based on the grading given by local tourist authorities and reflect the size of the rooms and type of facilities rather than the style of a hotel. Hotel photographs on websites and brochures are intended to give a general impression only. The mention of facilities such as parking, gyms, saunas etc. does not imply that the use of these is free. Often a charge applies payable locally (unless otherwise specified). Hotels may not provide bottled water for free of charge. Tea and coffee making facilities in rooms are the exception rather than the rule. Swimming pool may not be open all year round.
Bedding Configuration:
Prices are generally based on standard twin share accommodations. Request for specific bedding types must be made at the time of booking such as separate beds or a double/king size beds. Such requests cannot be guaranteed as hotels may have limited availability or certain bedding types only. Double rooms may have either twin or double beds. It is common practice to link two single beds together for a use as a double bed. Single rooms are often smaller than other rooms and may have only a single bed depending on the hotel. Triple rooms usually consist of twin bedded room with an extra single bed, sofa bed, folding bed or rollaway for the third person in case of which the room may be crowded.
Travelling With Children:
Where a child shares a room with two paying adults and stays free, the hotels generally do not provide an extra bed and the child will be expected to share the adult’s bed. Additional charges may be levied for the child’s meals and paid directly at the hotel by the client. Where a child discount rate is applied and the child received an extra bed, the bedding will normally be a rollaway. When the children stay in a room without adults the adult charges will apply.
Special Requirements
Many sites in 101bilge.com tour programs are open-air and necessitate a reasonable amount of walking. Although the walking are quite easy, if the client/s of the Partner Travel Company is in any doubt about suitability of themselves for the nature of the sightseeing places, please inquire with your travel consultant to get more information.
