I’d like to invoke the ‘double the difference’ guarantee offered on the easyjethotels website:
http://www.easyjethotels.net/home/in...ditions.jsp#17 but am scared.
It’s for a 4* hotel in Berlin. Expedia and hotels.com are both offering a stay 2 nights get 3rd night free deal, bringing the cost per night to about £37. Easyjet hotels meanwhile are offering the same property for £80 a night.
Thing is, it’s an awful lot of money for me to gamble if they are able to wriggle out of their promise and they won’t be giving me a refund until 30 days after my stay anyway.
Tricky bits are this:
v) Claims for refunds must be based on a comparison of the same hotel for the same dates and same room type and occupancy, and be inclusive of the same services as those offered by easyJetHotels (for example service charges, taxes and breakfast etc.).
Easyjethotels allow you to cancel for a £15 fee, whereas Expedia won't give a refund under any circumstances - so is it possible that it won't be accepted as a like for like comparison?
vi) On-request rooms are excluded from this price promise and rooms must be available for immediate retail consumer bookings online.
Expedia just let you book and take immediate payment.
vii) easyJetHotels will not reimburse clients if the compared product is part of a package, is shown in a currency different to that quoted by easyJetHotels, if the competitor rate is not offered by a UK bonded travel agency and/or if the rate is offered on a branded hotel chain website.
Expedia.co.uk also seems to be bonded with ATOL and IATA. The rates are given in sterling. Could a 3 nights for the price of 2 deal be seen as a package?
Should I go ahead and book this, or am I missing something?
Thanks for your help.
