Bookings and cancellations

Can I cancel or modify my booking? How can I do this?

Yes, you can cancel or change your booking, as long as you have chosen a flexible fare. You can check this information on your booking confirmation. If you want to cancel or modify your booking, please contact us by e-mail at info.medina@grouptch.com.

We can only modify or cancel bookings made through our website. If you have made a booking through a third party, you will need to contact the relevant platform.

No, sorry, but you must have a valid card (credit or debit) and sufficient funds to make a reservation.

Can I make a booking for another person using my credit card?

By internal policy, the credit card holder must match the person who will be staying. In special circumstances, we may consider accepting the booking by requesting additional documentation to verify the authenticity of the cardholder. Make the reservation indicating your personal details and your card and the guest’s details. Then contact us at info.medina@grouptch.com so that we can ask you for the information we consider appropriate.

Please note that the card provided at the time of booking will be used to charge your booking. The charge is done automatically through our system, at the time of booking or at the end of the free cancellation period, depending on the type of rate you have chosen.

I’ve made my booking, but I haven’t received a confirmation. What do I do now?
