How much is the hotel accommodation charge?

According to Article 10 of China Tourist Hotel Industry Code, "Hotel room charges are based on' room/night' (except hourly rooms). Charge guests a room/night for one day; If you check out after 12 o'clock and before 18 o'clock the next day, the hotel can add half a day's room charge; If you check out after the next day 18, the hotel can add one day's room charge. "

However, the morning check-in time is not stipulated in the Code, which has caused a lot of controversy. For example, this gentleman checked in at 5: 30 in the morning. According to Teacher Cai, in the past, the hotel stipulated that 5: 30 was the day before and 6: 00 was the next day.

If guests check in at 6:00, they can check out before 12 the next day; If you check in at 5:59, you should check out before 12:00 on the same day. If you check out after 12:00 the next day, you will have to pay an extra day's room rate. According to the charging method of White Swan Hotel, assuming his check-in time is 7: 00 a.m., according to the algorithm of starting a day at 7: 00 a.m., he only needs to pay the room fee for one day when he leaves in the afternoon.

It is understood that there are still many hotels that take 8 am as a new day. Therefore, even if tourists check in at 7:50 in the morning and leave at 8: 00 in the evening, the hotel has a reasonable way to charge for two days. It can be seen that because there is no clear check-in time charge regulation in domestic hotels, the practice of each hotel is different.

In the extended information interview, the reporter found that the interviewee repeatedly stressed the need to understand the hotel's "regulations" and communicate with the hotel before checking in. It's best to make a bill and set a charging standard.

According to Cai Xiaomei from the School of Tourism, South China Normal University, because the guest room can't be stored, although there is no "overnight stay", one room is actually empty. "One guest room left in the early hours of the morning, and it is impossible to let another guest stay at once." In other words, if the room is not rented out tonight, the hotel will lose some money. Therefore, as a tourist, you should know the "rules" of the hotel and explain the approximate check-out time with the front desk when you check in to determine the charge.

China's national condition is "humanization". "A room that can't be sold in one day will lose its income forever", which is a basic principle in hotel management. When guests put forward some reasonable special requirements, they should be given certain discounts as appropriate, which is very effective in the off-season of tourism. However, it must be emphasized that this is not a universally applicable provision.
