Q. Is the rate shown on a "per room" or "per person" basis?
The rates are always quoted on a Per Room Per Night basis, unless otherwise is stated. Rates for apartments are always quoted on a Per Apartment Per Night basis, unless otherwise is stated.

Q. What currency is the room rate quoted in?
We support many major currencies and are able to quote rates in your preferred local currency most of the time. To select a different currency, just click on the drop down box to select your preference.

The exchange rates are indicative and the actual amount in your currency will depend on when and what currency it will eventually be charged. Most hotels will charge using their local currency and some may use other major currencies. For example, hotels in Australia will charge in Australian Dollars (AUD) and hotels in Malaysia may charge in US Dollars (USD) or Malaysia Ringgit (MYR). If a different currency is used for final payment, it will be clearly stated before you submit the booking.

If you want to find out the latest current currency exchange rate, we recommend using the AquariusSoft Currency Converter. Alternately, you can use the Oanda Currency Converter. You can also download a desktop currency converter, at the HolidayCity sponsored currency converter.
