I
wrote to KualaLumpurRooms.com but have not received a
reply. Why ?
We do our best to reply to all legitimate e-mail inquiries
within an hour or so. However, if you have not received
a reply it is more than likely due to one of the following
causes :
- Incorrect E-mail Address:
More often than not, the e-mail address that was provided
to us was not correct. Please check that your e-mail
address is correct and resend.
- Incorrect Date:
We sort e-mail by date and if the date on your e-mail
server or computer is wrong we may not be aware that
you have sent us an e-mail.
- Not Received: Not
often, but every once in a while we simply do not receive
your e-mail
- Other: Some e-mail
servers, most notably AOL and Earthlink have spam filters
in place that do not deliver "unauthorised"
e-mail without prior approval - please check and make
sure that your e-mail server will accept e-mail from
rooms@kualalumpurRooms.com. And finally, without a confirmed
reservation, we do not provide contact details for any
hotel and ignore such requests.

How
does the reservation system work with KualaLumpurRooms.com
?
There are two reservation procedures depending upon
the hotel. Smaller hotels often do not have an automated
reservation system and reservations are processed manually.
Larger hotels usually have the ability to process reservations
with instant confirmation.
Reservation process for Instant Confirmation ( icon
will advise)
First after you have found a hotel to your liking click
on the reservation form, fill in all requested
information fields and submit. If room is available
for your requested dates you will be requested to supply
a valid credit card to submit and confirm the reservation.
The reservation, along with your credit card information,
will be sent directly to the hotel.
The hotel reserves the right to validate your credit
card information to process your reservation. The name
on the credit card must match the name on the reservation.
Once the hotel has validated your credit card information
it will send to you an email confirming the reservation
with the hotel's confirmation number or code together
with a copy of the hotel's cancelation policy, a link
to check your reservation and a link to cancel your
reservation. Without the hotel's confirmation number
you do not have a confirmed reservation.
That said, if the hotel can not, for whatever reason,
validate your credit card your reservation will be cancelled
and the hotel will send to you an email advising that
the reservation has been cancelled. You may resubmit
the reservation with the correct credit card information
or a different credit card.
Once your credit card has been validated and your reservation
is confirmed by the hotel)
you are subject to the hotel's cancellation policy,
usually 48 - 72 hours prior to arrival (using the hotel's
time) or one night's stay is charged to your credit
card by the hotel. However each hotel has its own cancellation
policy which is posted on the hotel's reservation form
and which you will receive a copy of from the hotel.
Read this information carefully.
Last minute reservations can not be cancelled and the
hotel will usually validate the credit card by charging
one night's stay upon receiving your reservation.
If you wish to modify the reservation you will need
to cancel your original reservation and make a new reservation
with the new dates. Be advised that during peak season
it is better to check availability of your new dates
prior to canceling your original reservations. If your
new dates are not available you may contact us (KualaLumpurRooms.com)
and we will try to assist you to modify your reservation
although we can not guarantee we will be able to do
so.
In the rare case that the hotel becomes fully booked
just prior to receiving your the hotel will send you
cancelation email, to inform that the reservation can
not be processed. If the hotel is fully booked we (KualaLumpurRooms.com)
will suggest possible alternatives.
Reservation process for small hotels.
That said, understanding that most hotels in Melaka
are smaller, family owned and managed properties the
reservation system in these hotels is not automated
and as such the process is as follows:
First, after you have found a hotel to your liking,
click on the reservation form, fill in all the
blank fields and submit. If room is available on your
requested dates you will be given the opportunity to
submit your credit card details to process the reservation
more quickly. However be advised that the hotel will
review the reservation for availability and final confirmation.
Likewise, if the room is not available for the dates
requested you may still submit the reservation and be
placed on a wait list. We will keep you advised of your
request and suggest alternative accommodations as needed.
All hotels require a deposit or credit card guarantee
to confirm your reservation. We
do not 'bait and switch' - hotels that are fully
booked are posted in advance (click
here to view current list).
That said, if you do not submit your credit card details
when making your reservation and the room is available
you will need to forward your credit card information
within 24 hours or your reservation will be cancelled.
We will provide you with the location of our secure
server or, if you prefer, you may fax your credit card
information. Please be advised that KualaLumpurRooms.com
will not any
amount to your credit card. We only pass this information
onto the hotel. Once we have the credit card information
we will email to you the hotel's confirmation number
or code.
Once your reservation has been confirmed you are subject
to the hotel's cancellation policy - usually 48-72 hours
prior to arrival (hotel's time) or one night's stay
is charged to your account by the hotel. However each
hotel has its own cancellation policy which is posted
on the hotel's reservation form. Read this information
carefully. If you need to change of cancel your reservation
you must advise us accordingly. We confirm alll cancellations
with the hotels.

All
rates are in Malaysian Ringgit - Can you quote in another
currency ? Sorry,
no. The rates are quoted by the hotels and, for any
number of reasons, are in Malaysian Ringgit - it is
not up to KualaLumpurRooms.com.

Some
hotels are 'Preferred Hotels' - what does this mean?
Since
starting KualaLumpurRooms.com in 2000, we have made
countless site inspections at hotels all throughout
Kuala Lumpur We have conducted quarterly rate surveys
and have received a fair amount of feedback from our
clients - so much so - that we feel confident in pointing
out which hotels provide the most value for money in
any given price range.
Preferred hotels are those hotels where the management
has, over the years, demonstrated an effort to offer
superior value for money in terms of facilities, customer
service, friendliness and cleanliness.

What
About my privacy - what do you do with the information
you collect ? We
value your privacy as much as we treasure ours.
When we contact a hotel to confirm a booking we only
provide to the hotel that information which the hotel
would normally obtain during check-in or registration.
We do not use any of information you have given us for
any other purposes nor do we sell, rent or give your
information to any 3rd parties. We never have and we
have no plans to do so. For more information please
click
here.

Do
I need a visa to travel to Malaysia ?
For many countries yes. For more information please
click
here.
However things have a way of changing and it is best
to get more complete, up to date information at
the nearest Malaysian Embassy. For a list of Malaysian
embassies around the world please embassy
information.

Is there any fee to cancel a reservation made with KualaLumpurRooms .com? No. As long as you abide by the hotel's cancellation policy (usually 24 to 72 hours advance notice; fyi, each hotel's policy is different and the hotel's policy will be written on the hotel's reservation page) there is never a fee to change or cancel your reservation with KualaLumpurRooms.com.

Can
you help me change reservations I made with another company
?
Sorry, no. Inasmuch as we can not verify the authenticity
of the requesting party we can not take responsibility
to forward any commercial communications whatsoever.
You will need to contact the travel agent, hotel or
reservation service that made the reservation in the
first place. |
