Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.)

Answer

Travelmyth is a hotel search engine, a price comparison engine and a hotel booking platform where you can search more than 1,110,403 hotels in 47 categories, worldwide.

In the search field you can choose or type any of the following: 1) categories like "dog friendly", "luxury", "beachfront" to perform a search based on your interests and preferences, 2) the name of a destination or region if you already know where you want to travel, 3) a hotel's name to search for a specific hotel.

By choosing one or more categories or/and a region, you are directed to the results page.

In this page you can find all the hotels that match the criteria that you entered and you can filter the results by choosing even more criteria from the left menu, or sort them using the "Sort by" field based on price, popularity etc.

After that, you can choose the desired dates and/or change the number of guests to see prices at each hotel. (The predefined number is 2 adults, in 1 room).

After you insert the dates, the prices for each hotel appear, from various booking sites. (If a hotel does not appear on the list after inserting the dates, this means there is no availability at this hotel for the selected dates.)

After choosing a hotel, you'll either proceed to the button "View deal" and you'll be directed to the booking site's webpage (e.x. Booking dot com, Hotels dot com etc.), or you'll choose "Book now" to complete your booking on Travelmyth.

In this case, a new page appears, the booking page of the hotel, where all the available room types as well as the boarding options are displayed (breakfast, half-board) if they are provided. In this page you can also view the cancellation policy applicable for each room type.

By choosing the room that interests you, you move on with the "Book" button and on step 2, you enter the info for your booking, and by inserting the card details on the Payment window, you complete your booking.

Immediately, you receive at your email a payment confirmation and in short time you receive the final confirmation, including the voucher for the hotel and your payment receipt.

Answer

Travelmyth charges your card and does not include any currency converting costs that are charged by your bank based on the currency exchange rate applicable the day of your booking. To avoid any misunderstandings, Travelmyth will not refund any such expenses to your card.

The majority of the credit card institutions charge an international transaction fee. This varies and may be up to 3%. This is implied because the charge of the credit card is done in another country than the country in which the card was issued. The company is not responsible for any such charges.

Taxability and the appropriate tax rate can vary greatly by location. Travelmyth's actual tax cost paid to the supplier may vary from the tax recovery charge, depending upon the rates, taxability in effect at the time of the actual use of the hotel by a customer and Travelmyth is under no obligation to account to you or refund you in this regard.

Please note that you will be refunded through the same payment method that you used for your booking.

Answer

In a modification of a booking (e.x. dates change), there is a service fee of 10 euro per booking. Depending on your new desired dates, the cost of the new booking might be higher that the original one. If you wish to proceed with your modification, you should also pay for this price difference.

If there is availability and you agree with the cost, our agents will provide you with a link or with our bank account to pay for that cost.

Our agents will inform you about the cost on the day they contact you without making any changes yet. This cost might change depending on the availability or the date that you confirm the change. Any change, is processed only, after you have paid the above mentioned costs and during business days and hours. Any cost difference or availability changes occur in the time between these incidents is the client's expense to pay.

Answer

Name changes are not allowed in all the hotels. However, you can proceed with submitting a modification request and our agents will inform you regarding the possibility and the cost, if any, after they contact the hotel. In the event that a name is wrong, the hotel reserves the right to deny accommodation or to impose extra charges. In the name change requests, if the hotel offers it free of charge, we will not charge you also.

Answer

If for any reason you cannot or do not wish to submit your cancellation / modification request through the website, you can alternatively submit a request through email or phone (no voice mail).

All the requests submitted this way will be processed during business hours and days and if they are submitted out of those, they will be processed the next business day. For these requests as date for the calculation of the cancellation fees, will be the date of processing the request.

Answer

Upon arrival at the hotel, you should present the voucher for your booking and a proof of identification.

Answer

Any special requests, will be provided to the hotel, however providing them is up to the hotel depending on availability and they are not guaranteed by Travelmyth.

Answer

In general, you can check in a hotel from 14:00 and check out anytime before the predefined time of check out, that is usually at 12:00 noon.

If you wish early check in and/or late check out, you should keep in mind that this depends on the availability of a room and usually it is not free of charge.

Late check in: If you plan to arrive at the hotel after 18:00, you should notify the hotel the soonest possible. If the hotel is not informed, this may result in the room to be resold and Travelmyth is not responsible for this event.

Early checkout: If you wish to be refunded for the event of early checkout, you're responsible for obtaining and providing hotel-issued early check-out permission documents. However, this does not guarantee any refund, and it will be only provided upon reconfirmation from the hotel, and the hotel first refunding us and then Travelmyth, refunds the client.
