Hotel Booking Terms and Conditions

Buy By Maps is owned and operated by Essential Extras Limited. We have teamed up with Holiday Extras to provide the best products and the best service. We aim to consistently exceed your expectations, so that when you are booking with us, you can feel confident you're with the best team there is. This section aims to bring important points to your attention. We've tried to make it as brief, easy to read and understandable as possible.

Price Changes

We are committed to providing the highest standards and the best choice of product, at the best prices, so throughout the season we continually review our products and prices. There are likely to be some seasonal special offers and in some circumstances prices may go up.

VAT Charges

All prices are for pre-booking and include VAT at the current rate of 17.5%. Hotel prices are given in £’s per person per night (twin prices based on two adults sharing) or £’s per room per night.

Cancellations, Amendments and Refunds

All cancellations and amendments must be made through Essential Travel. If Holiday Extras are not informed then it may not be possible to obtain a refund.

No refund is made for cancellation of hotel bookings within 48 hours of the stay date. An administration fee of £15.00 per room per night applies to all other hotel cancellations, and to amendments where these result in a reduction in the number of rooms or nights originally booked. It is possible to waive the £15.00 cancellation fee for £1.00 if purchased at time of booking.

Wheelchair facilities

Where hotels provide facilities for wheelchair users transfer and parking arrangements may not be suitable and rooms are available on a request basis only. Please check precise facilities available when booking.

Up to two children under 16 stay FREE when sharing a room with two adults.

Hotels including holiday parking

Parking is always at the vehicle owners risk. Hotels own car parks are unsecured unless otherwise stated. Where a hotel with parking package uses a secured car park this is clearly stated, and cars are parked subject to the conditions and insurance arrangements of the individual car park. In these cases, you will often park for the night of your stay in the hotel's own car park, which is unlikely to be secured. Car parking arrangements vary from hotel to hotel. Please make sure you know exactly what your arrangements are before you travel. Where parking is offered as an 8 or 15 day option or inclusive package, the full 8 or 15 days does not have to be used, but there is no reduction in price if it is not. If you leave your car for longer than the duration included, you are likely to be charged locally by the hotel or car park for the extra days. Car Keys: In the interests of efficient operation you must be prepared to leave your car keys with the hotel or car park staff if requested to do so.

As hotels do not take responsibility for alarm calls we suggest you take a travel alarm
