I definitely think this is way excessive. Normally any B&B I've booked I have done so over the phone or by email and I have never been asked for credit card details.
I stayed in a hotel in Limerick a few weeks ago and even though I was paying by cash the girl at reception asked me had I a credit card and she just took the details there and then.
My parents run a B&B in the country and there are always problems with people not showing up and you left with a vacant room for the night.
My mother asks for credit card details as a security however she haas no means of processing them and never would anyhow.
People really seem to make the efford to ring up and cancel if they are not going to make it if they hand over their cc details.
I do agree that the B&B's policy in question is excessive 8 days seems alot.
Before giving credit card details you should always ask what the cancellation charges are. I always ask a hotel what their cancellation policy is before I book. In this particular case they do seem excessive - in my opinion.
What could i do if they couldnt make the trip steph1. Have the b&b full right to take the full amount of 160e from my credit card.
thanks
They are only travelling about 2 hours away from home, what way would travel insurance help them in this situation if they couldnt go. Im not saying they wont go, just saying you never no what tomorrow will bring tht they may not be able to go
