Can I ask for a refund if the hotel loses power?

Legal analysis:

According to the legal practice of our country, it is very difficult to claim for hotel power failure, and there is no compensation standard for the claim. The most important thing is the reason for the power failure. It will be very difficult if there is a large-scale power outage in the power sector. If the power failure is caused by internal problems in the hotel, you can claim compensation from the hotel. In addition, guests can check out, cancel their accommodation contracts and ask for a refund. In addition to requesting the termination of the contract, you can also refund the room rate through an agreement with the hotel, and there is no legal basis for the rest. According to the actual situation and loss, make compensation and ask for a refund.

Legal basis:
