Is the hotel reservation irrevocable and legal?

Hotel reservation is irrevocable and illegal.

There are some problems with the "irrevocable" clause. First of all, it is unilaterally formulated by one party, that is to say, consumers often do not have enough right to speak when signing a contract, so they can only passively accept it. Secondly, this clause excludes the consumer's right to terminate and change the contract, which aggravates the consumer's liability for breach of contract to some extent. Finally, this practice violates consumers' fair trade rights and belongs to unfair format clauses.

In view of this problem, the relevant provisions of the Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Contracts clearly point out that the standard clauses should be fair and reasonable, and shall not exempt one party from the responsibility, aggravate the responsibility of the other party or exclude the main rights of the other party. Therefore, the "irrevocable" clause actually violates these provisions and constitutes an illegal act of using standard contracts to infringe on consumers' rights and interests.

In order to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, the relevant departments of our country should strengthen the supervision of this issue, punish enterprises that violate the regulations and ask them to correct. At the same time, consumers themselves need to improve their legal awareness, actively safeguard their rights, and complain to relevant departments in time when encountering similar problems to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.

Matters needing attention in hotel reservation

1. Book in advance: In order to ensure that you can book your favorite hotel, it is recommended to book in advance. Especially during the tourist season or large-scale activities, the demand for hotels will increase, and booking in advance can ensure more choices.

2. Compare prices: Prices may vary greatly in different hotels or different rooms in the same hotel. It is suggested to compare prices through different channels before booking and choose the hotel or room type with the highest cost performance.

3. Pay attention to the cancellation policy: some hotels can't cancel after booking or need to pay a certain cancellation fee. You need to read the cancellation policy of the hotel carefully before booking to avoid unnecessary losses.

4. Reading evaluation: You can check other passengers' evaluation of the hotel through the online platform, understand the service quality and environment of the hotel, and help yourself make a better choice.

5. Confirm check-in and check-out time: Different hotels may have different check-in and check-out time regulations, which need to be confirmed and understood when booking.
