HotelHolds

Frequently asked questions

Is this a real hotel booking?+

It is a real hold on a real room at the accommodation you specify — not a final, prepaid booking. Full payment for the stay is due directly to the hotel 3 days before check-in.

Why only $10.00 USD?+

We only charge for issuing the verified hold document. You pay the hotel separately, later. That way you don't lose money if your visa is denied or your plans change.

Will embassies and immigration officers accept it?+

Yes. The document contains a real confirmation number, the hotel details, and the guest's name — the same information a paid booking confirmation carries. It is used successfully worldwide for visa and immigration applications.

How fast do I get the PDF?+

Instantly. As soon as your $10 payment clears (usually within seconds), the confirmation PDF is available to download and is also emailed to you.

What if I don't end up needing the stay?+

Do nothing. The hold expires automatically if no payment is made to the hotel, and there is no further charge from us or from the hotel.

What if I want to keep the booking?+

Great — pay the hotel directly at least 3 days before check-in and turn the hold into a full reservation.

Can I book any hotel in any country?+

Yes. HotelHolds works for accommodations worldwide.

What currencies can I pay in?+

Prices default to USD. You can switch to your local currency using the picker in the site header — the underlying charge is always $10 USD.
