My property states that my reservation cost does not include 18% for "some extras just in case you will have". Is this a scam (I dislike that word) to collect 18% that the property is not otherwise entitled?
For a point of reference, I tried a reservation through IHG, and there is a reference to 10% & 18% (not to mention another 10% service charge). No mention of the 18% only being for Peruvian residents/60 consecutive days.
So, which is it?
Many thanks!
TripAdvisor is a much better resource when it comes to country specific travel advice in their forums. Just be careful about reviews and information given by people with only a few posts.
currently in Peru. 10% service tax; plus 18% if Peruvian or staying longer than 60 days.
