About our Lowest Price Refund Guarantee
We are absolutely committed to offering the lowest prices for hostels. You can now book with confidence, because you won’t find any of our hostels cheaper elsewhere on the internet. If you are able to find a better deal for the same travel dates and with the same booking conditions, we’ll refund double the difference. See more about the terms of our Lowest Price Refund Guarantee below. We think you’ll agree that no better guarantee is offered anywhere.
Lowest Price Refund Guarantee – Terms
(1) Contact us within 7 days of booking your accommodation through BedBreakfastTraveler (Instant World Booking), or one of our 100+ travel websites. Your booking must be completed on one of Instant World Booking’s websites, not a lodging’s website or other affiliate site.
(2) Tell us the details of the lower rate you were offered. The lower price must be available to book during the 7 day period following your reservation, and we need to be able to verify the offer.
(3) The guarantee will not apply to lower prices advertised within 7 days of arrival date.
(4) The lower price must be available on a website other than bedbreakfasttraveler.com.
(5) The “lower price” consists of the total cost of the reservation, including the daily rate, any included meals and extras, and all booking fees and taxes. The “lower price” must be found on a website for an equivalent room at the same lodging accommodation for the same period as your reservation, and with the same conditions.
(6) Instant World Booking will make refunds only if your reservation through Instant World Booking completed and not cancelled or the subject of a no-show. Refunds will only be given after the departure date, once the terms of your reservation have been fully completed.
(7) If a refund is given, you are still bound by the terms and conditions of your existing reservation confirmed through Instant World Booking.
(8) The lowest price guarantee does not apply to accommodation reserved in combination with a membership rate, frequent stay, reward type program, or special promotion offered by the accommodation provider.
(9) The lower price must be a regularly advertised price for your reserved hotel, not a price received from an ’opaque’ site or auction site, where the exact location or price is not known until after booking.
(10) The maximum refund that will be provided by Instant World Booking is limited to the total confirmation payment made at the time of your reservation.
(11) Instant World Booking reserves the right to withdraw this offer at any time without prior warning or notification.

BedBreakfastTraveler.com (Instant World Booking) has proven to be very successful in gaining top search engine rankings for its listed bed & breakfast partners. One reason it is important to use the instant booking method is that we use pay-per-click (PPC) advertising to market your property on Google and other sites. Use of a PPC campaign can cost you hundreds of US dollars each month. However, for our B&B and hotel partners who use instant booking, we advertise your property in PPC campaigns for free.

BedBreakfastTraveler.com’s latest booking engine for Bed & Breakfast websites offers many advanced features not available from BedandBreakfast.com, Webervations, Rezovations, or other comparable services. Most of all it’s cheaper than the rest. Check out our Demos of B&B Booking Engines.
To demonstrate how our online reservations for your B&B website compare with other providers, here is an example of the features currently set up for a typical bed and breakfast:
Online reservations secured with a substantial deposit offer unmatched security at a low cost:
- 5% commission for reservations confirmed at your website.
- 35% deposit collected from customers.
- Zero cost guarantee: If you have no reservations, you have no cost.
- Full Protection for “No-shows” (when customers fail to arrive) and Cancellations: You still get paid the deposit even if a customer fails to arrive, or cancels late. You may select your own flexible cancellation policy. We have set your cancellation policy so that you receive a percentage of the deposit collected: 50% (i.e., 17.5% of the total reservation).
In the case of cancellations, you receive this amount, minus commissions, if the customer cancels within 14 days before arrival. In the case of “No-shows” (when customers fail to arrive), you receive full payment of the deposit, minus commissions. - Choose any cancellation penalty amount you wish, up to 100% of the amount collected, and a cancellation period of up to 90 days before check-in. Please contact us if you wish to change either of these cancellation variables.
- Service charge (optional): A small service charge will be collected from customers when reserving on your website (USD 1.50 per room, or USD 0.50 per bed for per-person prices). You will be paid 50% of all service charges collected, and this may be a beneficial way of offsetting your cost. This feature is optional, and you can select and service charge amount you wish, or none at all.
Payments we make to you:
- We make payments to you: monthly
- Your payment instructions are on file: Wire Convenient payment options include 1) bank wire, 2) EFT – electronic funds transfer, 3) PayPal, 4) bank check in your own currency, and 5) US Dollar bank check. These flexible options allow you to receive your funds either electronically or by physical delivery. All payment methods are free except the bank wire option, which includes an additional fee for every transaction.

We’ve discussed the request-only versus instant booking methods at some length, but for many bed and breakfasts, the choice continues to be request-only. This is fine, however, there are clear advantages to the instant booking method that far outweigh any administrative inconveniences. We are happy to work with our partners in any manner they wish, but find that on average, online requests end up resulting in some degree of frustration. Here’s why instant booking using an online calendar is best in almost every situation:
- The vast majority of users searching accommodation on the internet want instant gratification. If they have to wait for a response to a request, they disappear quickly. With instant booking, you capture the booking immediately, before they have time to search elsewhere.
- Instant booking has a much higher reservation success rate because of (1) above.
- Some users will submit a request simply to find out what rates are, and have no intention to book soon. This forces the innkeeper to respond to requests that will never turn into reservations.
- A percentage of all users never receive the response email because they are using some free email service (e.g., hotmail, yahoo, gmail etc.) that blocks mail from new senders as spam, and they don’t realize that this is happening. This is a simple fact that affects virtually all online services these days. A user that falls into this category will either disappear or complain that they never received a response. Nevertheless, with instant booking, this is never a problem, since the user receives confirmation directly while they’re still online.
- Innkeepers that are concerned with managing a calendar online have many options available to them. If they don’t want to use our interface directly, they can use one of several third party interfaces that feed into our system (you can contact us for recommendations).
- The risk of an occasional overbooking is more than offset by the higher level of bookings, income, and benefits mentioned above that can be achieved with the instant booking method.

In a nutshell, the Travel Promotion Act is: “A bill to establish a non-profit corporation to communicate United States entry policies and otherwise promote leisure, business, and scholarly travel to the United States.”
International travelers are an important customer in the US travel industry. Visits to the US are below 2000 levels, and this has a great impact on the North American economy – especially the micro-economy of the travel industry.
Some B&B owners and innkeepers have do not support this bill because it would involve a new $10 fee on travelers from visa-waiver countries. Compared to what Americans pay in similar fees when visiting European countries (most fees are hidden in taxes and fees in your airline ticket) this is very minor. The question is whether $10 fee that is good for two years would prohibit people from traveling to the US.
PAII.org, the Professional Association of Innkeepers International, supports the bill. For more information on what the bill might mean to your bed and breakfast business, please see their blog at:
