Can I compensate for the power failure in the hotel?

Legal analysis: If the power outage is caused by natural aging or other major equipment replacement, this is not within the scope of claim. If the power outage is caused by human factors, such as cable theft or other company construction, you can claim compensation. If the high-voltage line is accidentally short-circuited during construction, the hotel will lose power, which belongs to the damage caused by construction. According to the provisions of the General Principles of Civil Law and Tort Liability Law, the construction party has the obligation to bear civil liability for the damage caused by it. So claim first, then see the situation. In this case, the hotel will generally give a full refund.

Legal basis: People's Republic of China (PRC) Contract Law.
