Accommodation

We kindly ask that you read the descriptions for the accommodation carefully during the booking process to help you select the right place to stay. Bear in mind whether the location is appropriate if you have walking difficulties. 

Should you need to make additional requests after your booking is confirmed, then please contact the telephone number or email address provided on your Hays Travel Booking Confirmation. There may be a cut of time before arrival for submitting assistance requests to your chosen accommodation, so we ask you to let us know as soon as possible. Some requests cannot be guaranteed.

Multiple room bookings can be made on our website for up to 3 rooms. For larger groups please contact us by phone, email live chat or visit your local branch, and we'll be pleased to help.

We choose the majority of the properties we sell because of their popularity with our customers, trip advisor ratings and returning customers. We also have knowledgeable staff, with many years of travel industry experience and local knowledge, to assist our choice.

The question of awarding star ratings for each property is a difficult one. Unlike other hard facts, such as whether the property has a pool or how far it is from the beach, there appears to be no universally recognised standard between countries. This leaves us with the option of using official ratings (i.e. those awarded by the tourist body of the country in question) or using a rating awarded by an accommodation supplier selling to the UK market. We do not use the first option to set star ratings, since standards vary so much from country to country and are often based on local opinion. On balance, we believe that the second option gives our customers the best chance to compare accommodation.

An all-inclusive holiday usually includes your accommodation, along with other amenities such as unlimited food, beverages, sports activities and day and night entertainment. At some resorts, services such as golf, diving and spa services and some branded drinks often incur an additional cost. In order to determine exactly what may or may not be included, please read the description for the accommodation you are looking to book on haystravel.co.uk.
