Can I check in (check out) from the hotel earlier / later than the set time?
Late check-out and early check-in are possible when the hotel is not 100% full. Sometimes they can be provided free of charge, but in most cases there will be an additional fee. The conditions and the possibility of providing an early check-in or a late check-out should be found out in advance from the hotel administrator.
Do I need to leave a deposit with an already paid room?
The deposit in the hotels in Tanzania is rarely charged. This is the prerogative of the apartments, where, upon check-in, the amount is frozen on the guest's bank card in case of compensation for damaged property or if 100% payment has not been made for the room.
Non-refundable tariff - what is it?
A non-refundable rate is a rate that is booked at a low cost and prepaid. In case of refusal to check in, the prepayment is not refundable.
Can I book several rooms using my name?
No, only 1 room can be booked for 1 person. When ordering several rooms, you must specify the data of those people who will live there.
Is it possible to choose a floor by yourself?
Many hotels do not give guests a choice of floor. You can indicate your preferences in the booking request, the hotel manager will try to accommodate your preferences. Also, in some hotels of Tanzania it is possible to choose superior rooms located on certain floors - for example: from the 25th to the 30th.
Why are 5 star hotels different in different countries?
The star rating standards were adopted in 1989 at the session of the World Tourism Organization, but since then the standard of living has increased and options previously classified as luxury have become commonplace. Therefore, 4-star hotels often catch up with 5-star hotels in terms of comfort. In some countries, in addition to the general ones, there are national standards for assigning stars that are advisory in nature.
What is the difference between a Luxe room and a Suite?
The main differences between these two types of rooms are the size of the room, decoration and layout. When choosing accommodation options on our website, you can find the photos and detailed descriptions of all room categories.

Booking cancellation policy
We always try to find the right conditions for our clients. In almost all cases, you can cancel your booking for free one day before check-in time. In addition, there are additional offers that allow you to cancel your booking one hour before the check-in time.
There are situations when customers book rooms for the dates they need at a big discount. In this case, cancellation may be charged and you will have to pay a fine
When the high season in Tanzania starts, the rooms are being "bought up" faster. Hotels tend to tighten conditions to minimize cancellation We recommend that you review the cancellation policy before booking your accommodation during high-demand periods. All information is presented in the section "Cancellation Policy".
Prices are determined by seasonal demand. But many hotels in Tanzania offer booking discounts in May 2024. To find out about current special offers - use the search on our website, hotels with a discount will be indicated with a special mark in the results.
Why is the price per room lower when booking on your website than on the official website of the hotel?
On the official websites of hotels, the base price is most often offered, while in hotel booking systems (Hotels, Agoda, Booking, Expedia, etc.) there are almost always special offers and discounts. And since Hotelhunter finds and compares prices in all hotel booking systems at once, taking into account promotional and discount offers, prices here may be lower than on the official websites of hotels.
