Are you looking for a disabled room ?
As disabilities varies and related needs are variable, we suggest you to contact our customer service (see need assistance) in order to provide you with the best available solution meeting your unique requirements.
Why do I need to provide my credit card details upon reservation ?
All hotels require a valid credit card upon reservation in order to secure your hotel room reservation. The hotel may check (pre-authorization) the provided credit card details to ensure it is valid or/and if sufficient funds are available.
Credit cards accepted are : VISA, EuroCard/MasterCard and American Express.
What is a credit card pre-authorization ?
Upon reservation, the hotel may check if the provided credit card has not been reported loss or stolen, or check if sufficient funds are available. Technically spoken, the hotels and credit card institutions refer to this as “pre-authorization” . The amount checked (pre-authorized) can vary from the amount equal to the value of the first night or to the value of the full stay.
However the payment will not be processed, at that time.
Depending on the ‘payment policy’ related to the selected hotel and room rate conditions, the hotel may charge you upon room reservation. The ‘payment policy’ can be found throughout the room reservation process.
Is it safe to provide my credit card details ?
The Brussels Booking Desk (asbl/vzw) integrated a secure connection - visual within your browser https:// - to encrypt your personal data and credit card details.
Our secure server uses ‘Secure Socket Layer’ (SSL) technology, the online industry’s standard.
Is there a possibility to make a room reservation without a credit card ?
Only very few hotels offer the possibility to book without a credit card. In most cases a full prepayment is required. Please contact our customer service (see need assistance), the latest 2 weeks prior to arrival, who will guide you through the process..
When do I pay for my booked accommodation ?
Depending on the ‘payment policy’ stated within your room reservation the payment of your stay is processed before arrival, during your stay or upon departure.
For a “non-refundable room reservation” you will be charged when making your reservation – for more details see ‘payment policy’. For all others a credit card guarantee is needed and you will be charged at the hotel, by the hotel.
Payment policy can be found within your room reservation confirmation and can be consulted throughout the room reservation process.
Will I get a confirmation of my room reservation ?
Moments after you confirmed your room reservation, the confirmation page appears, including all your reservation details, as well as a unique room reservation reference.
The confirmation will also be emailed to you, only minutes after you finish your room reservation.

I would need to cancel my room reservation ?
Within your confirmation you can find a link to ‘cancel’ your room reservation. By pushing on it, your room reservation will be cancelled.
Before cancelling your room reservation, it is recommendable to check the hotel’s cancellation policy. Depending on the time of your cancellation and/or the possible restrictions mentioned in the ‘cancellation policy’ (such as “non-refundable”), cancellation fees may apply.
Cancellation policy can be found within your room reservation confirmation and can be consulted throughout the room reservation process.
