How long does it take for the hotel check-out deposit to be automatically refunded?

The hotel check-out deposit will generally be automatically refunded within 1 to 7 working days.

The hotel charges a deposit to ensure that the guest will not cause any damage to the room or facilities during their stay, and that the deposit will be refunded after the room is cleaned. Under normal circumstances, when a guest checks out, the front desk staff will conduct room inspection, facility list verification and other procedures. After confirming that there is no human damage to the room, the guest will be notified of the time and method of deposit return. Depending on hotel policies and bank processing cycles, the deposit refund time may vary. Generally speaking, the deposit will be automatically refunded to the guest's payment account within 1 to 7 working days.

Therefore, if the guest has not received the refund of the deposit, he can contact the hotel front desk or call the customer service phone to inquire. At the same time, pay attention to properly keeping information such as deposit receipts and payment vouchers so that relevant evidence can be provided during inquiries and rights protection.
