Hotelgifts can only be used to pay for accommodation. The gift cards cannot be used to pay for dinner or drinks at the hotels. The reason for this is that we cannot inform the staff of all the 200,000 hotels we work with, how to accept our gift card. As a result, the gift card can only be redeemed through our website. However, in many of the hotels, you can book your breakfast along with your room through our website.

Yes, you can use your Hotelgift as many times as you like. If you received a Hotelgift with a high value you can choose to spend a longer period at the same hotel (i.e. more nights in one go) or use the Hotelgift for multiple bookings at different hotels. You can continue until the value is entirely spent. If costs exceed the leftover value, you pay the difference by following the payment process. It is not possible to use the leftover value for costs other than accommodation (i.e. for additional services like a meal). Your Hotelgift balance can only be towards your accommodation costs.

It is not possible to redeem several gift cards for one booking. The Hotelgift booking engine allows only one gift voucher per booking. If you are newlyweds and seeking a custom solution, please contact us at support@hotelgift.com.

Hotelgift for Buyers and Senders

The original purpose of the Hotelgift was to give recipients a nice hotel getaway. In our minds, recipients get to decide where to go and which hotel to stay at. That means that you do not have to pick a hotel for them in advance. However, if you want to recommend a hotel or a destination, feel free to add that to your personal message!

Hotelgifts can be sent in three ways:
  1. As an e-card digitally to the recipient.  It will arrive in the recipient's email inbox instantly after the purchase.
  2. As a printable PDF to your email so you print it out and give it in person. You will receive the printable PDF directly after the purchase in your email inbox.
  3. A physical gift card delivered to your address. Global shipment for the physical Hotelgifts will take about 2 to 8 working days.

No, there are no fees or additional costs. The amount you spend on a Hotelgift is exactly the value of the Hotelgift voucher. We do not charge extra fees or additional costs for the purchase of a Hotelgift.

If you are doubting the amount to put on a Hotelgift, you could cross-check the prices of the hotels. Even though they are updated in real-time and prices could fluctuate, it does give an indication of what the price range is for the hotels in the city you choose. You can check the hotel prices on our booking engine. On average, the price for one night in a hotel is between €100 - €200. If you give an amount that is not sufficient for a night in a chosen hotel, recipients can pay the remaining amount themselves. Alternatively, if recipients have money left on their voucher after booking a hotel, they can use the rest of the value for another time.

If the image on your printable PDF is upside down, do not worry, that is correct! Since you have chosen a printable PDF, you will have to fold the voucher following the dotted line. If you have done this correctly, the image will not be upside down on the voucher.

If you have a specific hotel in mind but it does not show up in the results list, it might be the case that the hotel is already fully booked. You have chosen a very popular one! In that case, it's recommended to search for another hotel or to change the date range. Another case could be that this hotel is not within our portfolio. As we have over 200,000 hotels worldwide we trust that you can easily find another hotel you will love.

As soon as you have completed the booking process, the confirmation page with your booking details will appear. A confirmation email with all of your booking details will also be sent to the email address you provide.

It takes approximately 24 hours for a booking order to be processed. If you have booked a hotel, but the hotel cannot confirm then it probably means that we at Hotelgift have not been able to process it yet. Your hotel should have definitely received the booking after 24 hours. If this is still not the case after a day has passed, please send an email to support@hotelgift.com. They will reconfirm it with the hotel you chose.

The recipient's name is a required field in the Hotelgift creation process. However, if you do not know who the recipient will be yet (for example when the Hotelgift is meant as a raffle prize) you can be a little creative with the name depending on what kind of prize you want to give:
  1. Email: you can fill in something else. An example could be 'For the ultimate winner' ;)
  2. Printable PDF: you can fill in the same thing as described in 1. Or you could fill in a series of dots like so '.................'. This way, after printing it, you can just grab a pen and write the name of the recipient.

  3. Physical: Receive physical Hotelgifts by regular mail. We will design and print custom Hotelgifts for you and send these by mail. Please allow approximately one week of shipment time for this option. We ship from the Netherlands, the United States, and Australia to any destination worldwide.
