Hotel reservation process ▼

Rates on the hotel display pages do not include taxes or service fees, but the total price (inclusive of taxes and service fees) is shown on the order confirmation page.

1. Pay at hotel. Most hotels accept payment at hotel with no prepayment required.
2. Credit Card Guarantee. Due to high demand for hotel rooms in China during peak periods, many hotels require credit card information to guarantee your reservation. Your credit card won't be charged unless you choose to pay by card at the completion of your stay (or if you do not show or cancel after the hotel cancelation deadline).
3. Prepay. Some hotels require prepayment.

1. You will receive an email confirming your reservation.
2. If you provide a mobile phone number, you will also receive a confirmation message (within Mainland China only).

Note: Be sure to provide at least one of the following in case there is a problem with your reservation: a Mainland China mobile phone number, an international mobile phone number, or a fixed-line phone number.

We will send you a confirmation email after receiving reservation confirmation from hotels. Normally, the time needed is as follows:

For Mainland China hotels, we generally email reservation confirmation within two hours.

For Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan hotels, we generally email reservation confirmation:

• within four hours for reservations received during business hours (Mon-Fri: 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Beijing time).
• within 24 hours for reservations received outside of business hours.

For overseas hotels, we generally email reservation confirmation:

• within 24 hours for reservations received during business hours (Mon-Fri: 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Beijing time).
• within 24 hours on the next business day for reservations received outside of business hours

After receiving your credit card information, we will verify it and book your room(s) for you. Once your order has been confirmed, it cannot be modified or canceled after the deadline. Note that deadlines are determined by hotels and may vary among orders. If you provide incorrect or incomplete credit card information, Ctrip reserves the right to cancel your order and charge a no-show fee.

After your booking has been confirmed, your room(s) will be held for you until noon of the day following your check-in date. You may incur a no-show charge if you do not show up at all or if you cancel after the hotel deadline. This charge is generally the equivalent of one night's stay at the hotel.

Ctrip cannot guarantee that your order can be canceled or modified once your Credit Card Guarantee is verified.

The Ctrip diamond rating system is based primarily on Ctrip member comments from Ctrip's Chinese-language site. The Chinese National Tourism Bureau's scale, which awards one to five stars based on quality, amenities, service, reputation and customer satisfaction, is also factored in. Finally, we rely on reviews provided by a select group of Ctrip travel specialists. In our ratings, we seek fairness, objectivity and accuracy. The ratings have no commercial purpose and Ctrip never uses these ratings in negotiating prices with member hotels.
