A lot of the information contained on our website is provided by the hotels and touristic partners and updated regularly and, while we will try our best to ensure that such information is accurate, we cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information, nor can we warrant that access to our website will be uninterrupted or fault-free. However because of the sophisticated technology that is required in operating our websites, there may be times when obvious errors occur.

Once aware of such incidents we will make all reasonable effort to advise you within 48 business hours of the booking being made. We reserve the right to cancel the reservation and refund all monies paid, but this will be without any liability to you.

If you do not receive a confirmation e-mail within the next hour of placing the booking, you should contact our Customer Services via phone or email. Our confirmation e-mail will serve as proof of valid booking and will contain relevant information about the booking and particulars of the hotel or services concerned. Please read and check carefully all the information contained in our confirmation e-mail to ensure that it conforms to your reservation.

Should you wish your room to be ready prior to noon on your day of arrival or available after 12 am for an afternoon or evening departure, it is possible to reserve the room at the time of booking at a cost no greater than the extra night price.

5.2 Meals

If meals are part of an accommodation package, the number of meals depends on the number of overnight stays. Full board normally includes breakfast, lunch and dinner. Half board normally includes breakfast and dinner, depending on the package. Accommodation which includes main meals generally start with dinner on the day of arrival at the hotel and terminate with breakfast on the day of departure.

5.3 Taxes

The local authorities in certain countries may impose additional taxes (tourist tax, etc), which have to be paid locally. The Customer is exclusively responsible for paying such additional taxes.

We offer star ratings as a general guide. Star ratings may differ according to the country where the hotel is located and are not necessarily the official local rating. Standards can vary between hotels and accommodation of the same class in different countries, and even in the same country.

5.5 Images

Whilst we make every effort to ensure that property images and descriptions of amenities and facilities displayed on our websites are accurate and up dated, we cannot guarantee this always to be the case as we obtain this information from our Suppliers. The images and hotel descriptions are provided to show the level of accommodation and the degree of comfort.

6. Travel Insurance

The prices on the website do not include insurance. MauritiusHotels strongly recommends to take out insurance that covers the consequences of certain cases of cancellation and an additional policy that provides cover for certain special risks such as the cost of repatriation in the event of an accident or illness.

7. Passports, Visas and Health Requirements

Please note: Passport and visa regulations can change and you should therefore check with the relevant embassy well in advance of travel. It is your responsibility to be in possession of a valid passport and if appropriate, a visa. It can often take some time to obtain a visa, so you are advised to apply in plenty of time. Some overseas countries have an immigration requirement that a Customer’s passport is valid for a minimum period after the Customer enters that country, typically 6 months. If a Customer’s passport is in its final year of validity, the Customer is advised to confirm the requirements of the destination before making final travel plans.

We accept no responsibility for customers who do not possess the correct documents. It is your responsibility to check and comply with any health requirements. You should contact your GP or a specialist vaccination centre for details of the measures you will need to take prior to departure.
