Sort Order:
As travelers shopping on our site, you have many options to help you find the perfect hotel, flight, car rental, cruise or activity. The “sort” settings allow you to order search results to your preference, whether based on price, verified review score, or other criteria. The “filter” settings also allow you to include or exclude various options to suit your travel needs. If no options are selected, we will show a range of relevant options in the search results, based on the criteria outlined below:
Lodging: Our default sort order reflects the relevance of properties to your search criteria, as we want to make sure you are able to quickly and easily find the offer that is right for you. We measure relevance by taking into account factors like a property’s location, its review scores, the popularity of the property (measured by how many travelers on our sites make bookings at that property), the quality of the content provided by the property, and the competitiveness of the property’s rates and availability, all relative to other properties meeting your chosen search criteria. The compensation which a property pays us is also a factor for the relative ranking of properties with similar offers, based on the relevance factors described above. On our non-default sorts (for example, if you sort by price or by star rating), we will order properties with similar results based on the factors above.
Additionally, we continually optimize our service to provide you with the best experience. Accordingly, we may test different default sort order algorithms from time to time.
Supplier Rules and Restrictions
The information displayed on this Website concerning specific travel products and services is provided to us by the relevant travel suppliers (such as airlines or hotels) or their agents (“Third Party Suppliers”). This includes, but it not limited to, information about airfare and hotel prices, rules and availability and the description of hotels and their amenities. Our Group Companies are not responsible for such information and we rely on the accuracy of the information supplied by the relevant Third Party Suppliers. If we become aware that the information provided by a Third Party Supplier is incorrect in any way, we reserve the right to correct any information (including, but not limited to, pricing information) and amend your booking (in consultation with you) to ensure that it reflects the correct price or otherwise complies with the correct information. Additional charges may be payable by you if you wish to proceed with the affected booking. Such charges will be advised to you at the time of consultation.
Additional terms and conditions imposed by the Third Party Suppliers may also apply to your booking and purchase of travel-related products and services, and we will advise you of these additional terms and conditions where the relevant Third Party Supplier provides them to us. Please read such additional terms and conditions carefully. You agree to abide by the terms and conditions imposed by any Third Party Supplier with whom you elect to deal, including, but not limited to, terms and conditions relating to the payment of all amounts when due, and compliance with the relevant Third Party Supplier's rules and restrictions regarding availability and use of products or services. Airfare is only guaranteed once the purchase has been completed and the tickets have been issued. Airlines and other travel suppliers may change their prices without notice. We reserve the right to cancel your booking if full payment is not received in a timely fashion.
Some Third Party Suppliers offering certain services and/or activities may require you to sign their liability waiver prior to participating in the service and/or activity they offer. You understand that any violation of any such Third Party Supplier's rules and restrictions may result in cancellation of your booking(s), in your being denied access to the applicable travel services and/or activities, in your forfeiting any monies paid for such booking(s), and/or in our debiting your account for any costs we incur as a result of such violation.
Our Group Companies do not operate or control the travel-related products and services displayed on the Website. Nor do Our Group Companies act as co-vendors with Third Party Suppliers with whom our customers book travel products or services.
Fares & Prices:
We may offer you the opportunity to book a reservation for a combination of two one-way tickets instead of a roundtrip ticket. Combined one-way tickets may provide a greater choice of flights, are often cheaper and can be combined on the same airline or on different airlines.
Accommodations:
Some accommodation providers may require you to present a credit card or cash deposit upon check-in to cover any additional expenses that may be incurred during your stay. You are responsible for the payment of any additional expenses and any deposit taken or amounts charged to your credit card by the relevant accommodation provider are unrelated to any payment made through the Website for your hotel booking. Note: In the event that you book a reservation for accommodations (with the exception of prepaid hotel accommodation as set out below), you acknowledge and agree that all charges, taxes and other costs relating to your booking are payable by you to the accommodation provider at the time requested by the accommodation provider (usually upon check-in or check-out from the accommodation). We are not liable for any costs incurred due to relocation.
Pay Online Now or Pay Later at Hotel:
With certain hotels, you may be presented with the option to pay online now ("Pay Online Now") or pay later at the hotel ("Pay Later at Hotel"). If you select the Pay Online Now option, your credit card will be charged by one of Our Group Companies (for example, Travelscape) immediately. If you select “Pay Later at Hotel”, the hotel will charge your credit card in the local currency at the time of your stay. Please note that for a Pay Later at Hotel booking, tax rates and foreign exchange rates could change in the time between booking and stay. Your credit card provider may also charge a foreign currency conversion fee. Additionally, please note that our coupons may only be applied to Pay Online Now bookings.
If you are a business traveller and book using the Pay Online Now option (where available), you will not receive a tax invoice for your booking. Some of Our Group Companies are not required to issue tax invoices for the Pay Online Now option. If you book using the Pay Later at the Hotel option, you should receive a tax invoice from the hotel at the time of your stay. If you require a tax invoice, we recommend that you book using the Pay Later at Hotel option (where available).
Pay Later at Hotel (Postpaid Hotel Reservations):
Pay Later at Hotel is a postpaid hotel reservation. In the event that you book a postpaid hotel reservation, you acknowledge and agree that the total quoted price will be payable by you to the accommodation provider at the time requested by the accommodation provider (usually upon check-in or check-out from the accommodation). The accommodation provider may charge you additional costs for expenses incurred during your stay. If you wish to cancel or change your booking, you must notify us within the cancellation policy period applicable to the relevant hotel (which varies by hotel), or you will be charged the full cost of your stay. In the event you do not show up for the first night of the booking and plan to check-in for subsequent nights in your booking, you must confirm the booking changes with us no later than the date of the first night of the booking to prevent cancellation of your booking. You are responsible for any cancellation or change fees that you incur. Some hotels do not permit changes to or cancellations of bookings after they are made, as indicated in the rules and restrictions for the hotel booking.
Pay Online Now (Prepaid Hotel Reservations):
Pay Online Now is a prepaid hotel reservation. In the event that you book a prepaid hotel reservation, you acknowledge that Our Group Companies pre-negotiate certain room rates with hotel suppliers to facilitate the booking of reservations for Pay Online Now bookings. You also acknowledge that Our Group Companies provide you services to facilitate such booking of reservations for a fee (the "facilitation fee"). For certain bookings within the United States and Canada, for instance, the room rate displayed on the Website is a combination of the pre-negotiated room rate and the facilitation fee retained by Our Group Companies for their services. For some prepaid hotel reservations, one of Our Group Companies, such as Travelscape, may be the facilitator of your room reservation and also the merchant of record for your Pay Online Now booking. You authorize Our Group Companies to facilitate reservations for the total reservation price, which includes the room rate displayed on the Website, plus any tax recovery charges, service fees, and where applicable, taxes on Our Group Companies' services. You agree that your credit card will be charged by one of Our Group Companies (for example, Travelscape) for the total reservation price. Upon submitting your reservation request you authorize Our Group Companies to facilitate hotel reservations on your behalf, including making payment arrangements with hotel suppliers.
You acknowledge that except as provided below with respect to tax obligations on the amounts we retain for our services, Our Group Companies do not collect taxes for remittance to applicable taxing authorities. The tax recovery charges on prepaid hotel transactions are a recovery of the estimated taxes (e.g. sales and use, occupancy, room tax, excise tax, value added tax, etc.) that Our Group Companies pay to the hotel supplier for taxes due on the hotel's rental rate for the room. The hotel suppliers invoice Our Group Companies for certain charges, including tax amounts. The hotel suppliers are responsible for remitting applicable taxes to the applicable taxing jurisdictions. Taxability and the appropriate tax rate vary greatly by location. The actual tax amounts paid by Our Group Companies to the hotel suppliers may vary from the tax recovery charge amounts, depending upon the rates, taxability, etc., in effect at the time of the actual use of the hotel by our customers. We retain service fees as additional compensation in servicing your travel reservation. Service fees retained by Our Group Companies for their services vary based on the amount and type of hotel reservation.
Sales, use and/or local hotel occupancy taxes are imposed on the amounts that we charge for our services (facilitation fee and/or service fee) in certain jurisdictions. The actual tax amounts on our services may vary depending on the rates in effect at the time of your hotel stay.
You may cancel or change your prepaid hotel reservation, but you will be charged the cancellation or change fee indicated in the rules and restrictions for the hotel reservation (which vary by hotel). If you do not cancel or change your reservation before the cancellation policy period applicable to the hotel you reserved, the full cost of your stay will be non-refundable. In the event you do not show for the first night of the reservation and plan to check-in for subsequent nights in your reservation, you must confirm the reservation changes with us no later than the date of the first night of the reservation to prevent cancellation of your reservation. You agree to pay any cancellation or change fees that you incur. Some hotels do not permit changes to or cancellations of reservations after they are made, as indicated in the rules and restrictions for the hotel reservation.
You agree to make payment at the time of booking via a debit to your nominated credit or debit card. The amount charged will be the amount shown on our booking page prior to you clicking the Pay Online Now button on that page. Upon submitting your booking request, you authorize one of Our Group Companies, (for example, Travelscape), to facilitate the relevant hotel booking, including making payment arrangements with the relevant hotel supplier.
Room Limit:
You may not book reservations for more than 6 rooms online for the same hotel/stay dates. If we determine that you have booked reservations for more than 6 rooms in total in separate reservations, we may cancel your reservations, and charge you a cancellation fee, if applicable. If you paid a non-refundable deposit, your deposit will be forfeited. If you wish to book reservations for 7 or more rooms, you must contact our group travel specialists by phone or by filling out the group travel form online. One of our group travel specialists will research your request and contact you to complete your reservation. You may be asked to sign a written contract and/or pay a non-refundable deposit.
Special Deals:
From time to time, special deals or vouchers may be displayed on this Website. Such special deals and vouchers are available for a limited time only. You must check with us as to whether a special displayed on this Website is still available. Additional terms and conditions may apply to special deals or the use of vouchers. You must check this Website or the third party provider of the special deal to determine whether any particular terms and conditions apply.
Booking, Cancellation and Amendment Charges:
If you want to change any details of your itinerary booked through the Website or the Service Centre (such as changing to a different hotel or changing your departure date or airport), we will do our best to help but cannot guarantee that changes will be permitted by the relevant Third Party Supplier. You should call our Service Centre on 1800 796 316.
Requests for a refund of monies paid for any travel products or services booked through the Website or the Service Centre will be governed by the terms and conditions of the relevant Third Party Supplier, and we are not responsible for, and does not have any control over, such terms and conditions. In particular, you are advised that many airfares are non-refundable and you must check the terms and conditions applicable to the relevant airfare before proceeding with the booking.
We do not charge an amendment fee for changes made by you on any bookings. However, the relevant Third Party Supplier may charge a fee in connection with any changes, which will be payable by you (if any). The price of your new arrangements will be based on the prices that apply on the day you ask us to make the change. These prices may not be the same as when you booked the products or services.
Payments and Fees:
Your payment is processed in the United States, when Our Group Companies process your payment. When the travel supplier processes your payment, it will be processed in the country in which the travel supplier is based.
We or the travel supplier may have to verify: (i) the validity of the payment card (through a charge of a nominal value that is either refunded within a few days or deducted from the final payment due to the travel supplier) and, (ii) the availability of funds on the payment card (to be confirmed by the bank issuing the your credit card).
Many bank and credit/debit card companies charge their account holders a transaction fee when the card issuer and the "merchant location" (as defined by the card brand (e.g. Visa, MasterCard, American Express)) are in different countries. The currency exchange rate, if applicable, and any transaction fee are determined solely by the bank or other agency processing the transaction. These fees may be applied by the card issuer as a charge to the cardholders account. This means the amount listed on your credit or debit card statement may be a different figure than the figure shown on the billing summary page for a booking made on the Website. If you have any questions about these fees or any exchange rate applied to your booking, please contact your bank.
Currency Conversion:
Because in certain instances we receive the price from our suppliers in a foreign currency, the price displayed in search results may vary by a nominal amount from the price displayed at checkout due to the effect of foreign currency conversion. This amount will not exceed 10 Australian cents. The actual amount charged to your credit or debit card is the amount displayed at checkout.
If a currency convertor is available on the Website, the following terms and conditions apply: Currency rates are based on various publicly available sources and should be used as guidelines only. Rates are not verified as accurate, and actual rates may vary. Currency quotes are not updated every day. Check the date on the currency converter feature for the day that currency was last updated. The information supplied by this application is believed to be accurate, but Our Group Companies and/or our respective suppliers do not warrant or guarantee such accuracy. When using this information for any financial purpose, we advise you to consult a qualified professional to verify the accuracy of the currency rates. We do not authorise the use of this information for any purpose other than your personal use and you are expressly prohibited from the resale, redistribution, and use of this information for commercial purposes.
Frequent Flyers/Traveller Program:
If you are a member of an airline's or hotel's frequent travel or other reward or benefit scheme, please ensure that you have entered your correct program number in the special section featured in the booking engine at the time of your booking. Neither us or any of the other Our Group Companies accept any responsibility if the relevant airline/hotel does not accept or does not register your booking for their program and you cannot earn points/miles. You are advised to retain copies of your boarding pass and any other proof of travel/purchase.
Passports, Visas and Travel Documentation:
It is the responsibility of the traveller to ensure that he or she: (a) complies with all applicable government travel requirements including, without limitation, obtaining a passport and visas to enter the destinations to which you are traveling; and (b) checks in by the required check-in time.
As there may be delays at the airport, you are advised to arrive at the airport within a reasonable period of time before your flight. We are not responsible for any delays you may experience.
Passports are required for all travellers departing Australia, and for international travel generally. Many countries require that foreign nationals entering hold a passport that is valid for a minimum period after you enter that country, typically 6 months.
When purchasing air travel, the name on the passport must match the name on the ticket otherwise you may not be able to travel and insurance may be invalid. If, after purchasing products or services but before traveling, any member of your party changes their name you must notify the relevant carrier or us immediately so that the necessary changes can be made to your documentation.
It is the responsibility of the traveller to obtain information and advice on the visa requirements of the destinations you propose to visit. Australian citizens should contact the nearest embassy, high commission or consulate of the country you intend to visit well in advance of travel. Requirements may change and you should check for up to date information before booking and departure. We urge customers to review travel prohibitions, warnings, announcements and advisories issued by the relevant governments prior to booking travel to international destinations.
The above information and any links are provided in good faith but should be treated as a guide only. Passport and visa regulations can change and it is your responsibility to ensure that you possess the relevant travel documents before you travel. It can often take some time to obtain a passport and/or visa, so you are advised to apply in plenty of time. We accept no responsibility in any regard in relation thereto including, without limitation, for customers who do not possess the correct travel documents.
The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade or any of its successors may be able to provide some assistance in relation to the passport and visa requirements for your destination.
Travel Destinations:
Although most travel, including travel to international destinations, is completed without incident, travel to certain destinations may involve greater risk than others. Travellers should review any travel prohibitions, warnings, announcements and advisories issued by the Commonwealth Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade prior to booking travel to international destinations. Information on conditions in various countries and the level of risk associated with travel to particular international destinations can be found on the Australian Government's travel advisory and consular assistance service website currently located at http://www.smarttraveller.gov.au.
Health: Recommended inoculations for travel may change and you should consult your doctor for current recommendations before you depart. It is your responsibility to ensure that you meet all health entry requirements, obtain the recommended inoculations, take all recommended medication, and follow all medical advice in relation to your trip.
By offering reservations for travel products to particular international destinations, Our Group Companies do not represent or warrant that travel to such points is advisable or without risk, and is not liable for damages or losses that may result from travel to such destinations.

You further grant Our Group Companies the right to pursue at law any person or entity that violates your or Our Group Companies’ rights in the Submissions by a breach of these Terms of Use. You acknowledge and agree that Submissions are non-confidential and non-proprietary.

If you do not accept these Terms of Use, please do not provide us with any Submissions.
You are fully responsible for the content of your Submissions (specifically including, but not limited to, reviews posted to this Website). You are prohibited from posting or transmitting to or from this Website: (i) any unlawful, threatening, libellous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, or other material or content that would violate rights of publicity and/or privacy or that would violate any law; (ii) any commercial material or content (including, but not limited to, solicitation of funds, advertising, or marketing of any good or services); and (iii) any material or content that infringes, misappropriates or violates any copyright, trademark, patent right or other proprietary right of any third party.
