YOUR CONTRACT
A binding contract between you and the hotel concerned comes into existence when we send your confirmation invoice to the party leader and the terms and conditions of the hotel, in addition to these conditions, will be applicable to the contract. English Law will apply to our agreement and to any dispute or claim which arises between us out of it. Any such dispute or claim must be dealt with by the Courts of England and Wales. You may however, choose the law and jurisdiction of Scotland or Northern Ireland if you wish to do so. Changes to these Booking Conditions or the General Information shown in our website will only be valid if agreed by us in writing.
CHANGES BY YOU
Should you wish to make any changes to your confirmed booking, you must notify us in writing or contact us on 01915671786 as soon as possible. Whilst we will try to assist you we regret amendment requests cannot always be met. Where an amendment can be made, any costs incurred by ourselves and any costs or charges incurred or imposed by the hotel will be payable. See also, the specific terms detailed above.
CANCELLATION BY YOU
Should you or any member of your party need to cancel your chosen break once it has been confirmed, the party leader must immediately advise our Reservations Centre on 0191 5671786 or cancel online. Your notice of cancellation will only be effective when it is received by our Reservations Centre, at which time you will be given a cancellation number relating to the date and time of your call / online cancellation. You must keep this for reference. The cancellation charges of the hotel concerned will apply.
CHANGES AND CANCELLATION BY US
If there is a change to or cancellation of your booking we will pass on the new details to you together with any compensation that the hotel may offer. As agent only for the hotel we cannot accept any liability for any changes or cancellations made to your booking.
INSURANCE
You are strongly recommended to take out personal travel insurance for all members of your party. Please note that not all insurance policies intended for travel overseas are adequate to cover you for the hotel stays featured on our website. It is your responsibility to ensure that the insurance cover you purchase is adequate for your particular needs. We do not check insurance policies.
FORCE MAJEURE
Except where otherwise expressly stated in these booking conditions, we regret we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where the performance or prompt performance of our contractual obligations is prevented or affected by or you otherwise suffer any damage or loss as a result of “force majeure”. In these Booking Conditions, “force majeure” means any event which we could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid. Such events may include war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity or actual threatened terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, Pandemic, adverse weather conditions, fire and all similar events outside our control.
COMPLAINTS AND PROBLEMS
In the event that you have any reason to complain or experience any problems with your break whilst away, you must immediately inform the hotel in question. Any verbal notification must be put in writing. If you remain dissatisfied, however, you must write to the hotel’s general manager within 28 days of the end of your stay giving your booking reference and full details of your complaint.
BEHAVIOUR
When you book with us, you accept responsibility for any damage or loss caused by you or any member of your party. Full payment for any such damage or loss must be paid direct at the time to the hotel or other supplier. If you fail to do so, you will be responsible for meeting any claims subsequently made against us (together with our own and the other party’s full legal costs) as a result of your actions. The Roker Hotel reserve the right at any time to terminate your stay or that of any member of your party due to misconduct, where justified in their reasonable opinion. No refunds will be given. Furthermore, neither the hotel nor we shall be under any obligation whatsoever to pay compensation or meet any costs or expenses you may incur as a result of your stay being terminated.
SPECIAL REQUESTS AND MEDICAL PROBLEMS
If you have any special request, you must advise us at the time of booking. Although we will endeavour to action any reasonable requests, we regret neither we nor the hotel concerned can guarantee any request will be met unless we have written to you with specific confirmation that it will. Confirmation that a special request has been noted or passed on to the hotel or the inclusion of the special request on your confirmation invoice or any other documentation is not confirmation that the request will be met. We regret we cannot accept any conditional bookings, i.e. any booking which is specified to be conditional on the fulfilment of a particular request. All such bookings will be treated as “standard” bookings subject to the above provisions on special requests.
If you or any member of your party has any medical problem or disability which may affect your booking, please tell us before you confirm your booking so that we can advise as to the suitability of the chosen arrangements. In any event, you must give full details in writing at the time of booking. If the hotel reasonably feel unable to properly accommodate the particular needs of the person concerned, we must reserve the right on behalf of the hotel(s) concerned to decline their reservation or, if full details are not given at the time of booking, cancel on behalf of the hotel(s) concerned when we become aware of these details.
Hotels that show the Disabled Facilities symbol in their entry have had their facilities inspected by an approved independent inspector e.g. Tourism for All, or regional tourist boards. A number of other hotels within the group do have facilities for disabled guests however they may not have an official accreditation. We do therefore strongly recommend you check with either our reservations centre or the hotel directly before booking to ensure your chosen hotel can meet all your requirements.
Alternatively, if you have difficulty walking but do not require a specially adapted room, you may request a room near to reception on the ground floor for easier access. However ground floor or adapted rooms may have limited availability, and cannot be guaranteed to be allocated on arrival. Again it is advisable to ensure that we are fully aware of all circumstances on making the booking to ensure that your chosen hotel has the availability to meet your requirements in full.
Guide dogs are welcome at all Best Western hotels, but please make us aware of your requirements at the time of booking.
TRAVEL DOCUMENTS
You are responsible for having all proper travel documents and vouchers. If you are unable to travel or complete a stay by reason of not having proper documents you will not be entitled to any refund and we will not be liable for any cost or expense that you may incur as a result.
