Why do prices and availability change by season?
Demand peaks in Ramadan, especially the last ten nights, around Hajj and in school holidays. Nearby hotels fill early and minimum stays may apply. Booking early gives more choice, but there is no fixed seasonal rate; request a quote for your exact dates.
Rooms and mobility for families and older guests
State adults and children’s ages, and ask about actual room occupancy, extra beds and charges. Do not assume adjoining rooms or a specific room type are available in every hotel. For older guests and wheelchair users, verify the lift, entrance, bathroom and route to the appropriate gate, and confirm needs before booking.
What should a booking quote include?
Request the hotel name, room type, beds, nights, total price, currency, taxes and any meals. Review the deposit, confirmation deadline, cancellation and amendment terms, and check-in/out times. A WhatsApp enquiry is not a confirmed reservation; retain written confirmation.
How to vet an accommodation provider before paying
Ask for the official business name and contacts, and a written quote naming the hotel, rooms, dates, total price, payment and cancellation terms. Ask for confirmation in the guest’s name, pay only to an account in the same business name, and keep all messages. Companies should check the commercial registration and the signatory’s authority.
