PROTECTING YOUR PRIVACY
We are committed to protecting your privacy. We are registered with the Data Protection Registrar and operate in accordance with applicable data protection legislation.
Personal information related to your bookings is collected directly by our booking partners Starfish. Where provided, your credit card details are sent by a secured mode using 128 bit SSL encryption technology to the respective hotel to confirm your reservation.
We do not sell or disclose your personal information to other companies without your prior consent, nor do we sell mailing lists to third parties. We may contact you to advise you of any changes or problems with your hotel booking, to send you our newsletters if you have chosen to subscribe, or to notify you if you have won a Room for Romance competition.

BOOKING CONDITIONS
Room for Romance does not represent individual hotels, and while we carefully select all properties featured on this site we cannot make any guarantees as to their standards or suitability for your stay.
Bookings are made with our online booking partners Starfish Luxury Travel, and not with Room for Romance or Riva Publishing Ltd. Starfish acts as a booking agent for Room for Romance.
Full booking terms and conditions are supplied by Starfish, and can be viewed on our booking pages. You will need to confirm your acceptance of these terms and conditions when booking on the Room for Romance site.
Where payment or a deposit is due in advance to a hotel or to Starfish, this will be advised and itemised at the time of booking. Where full prepayments are made online to Starfish on behalf of the hotel, a 2% administration charge will be made, and where a credit card is used, a 3% credit card fee. This credit card fee will not apply to payments made with debit cards.
You are advised to reconfirm your hotel booking two weeks before check-in, and to let the hotel know your estimated time of arrival. If you arrive after 18.00 hours, the hotel should be notified.
Starfish may occasionally charge a separate booking fee for the work undertaken in researching and booking the hotel on your behalf. These fees are clearly marked where applicable, and once paid, are non-refundable.
You are strongly recommended to take out personal travel insurance at the time of booking, and Starfish will be happy to provide a quotation for this.
CANCELLATIONS
All bookings are subject to the individual cancellation policy of your chosen hotel, and details are shown at the time of booking.
Once a booking has been made with Starfish by entering your credit card details, you are subject to the cancellation policy of that hotel. Where deposits or pre-payments are taken, these will be refunded on cancellation, less a £20 GBP cancellation fee. Where deposits are taken by the hotel, these are subject to the hotel’s cancellation policy.
Cancellation policies specify a period before check-in when cancellations will be subject to payment of a penalty. This period does not include the day of arrival. Thus a 24-hour cancellation policy means that a booking must be cancelled at least 24 hours before midnight of the day before your arrival date.
Please note that cancellations must be made by using the booking link supplied at time of your confirmation, and followed with an email or telephone call direct to the hotel.
‘ON REQUEST’ BOOKINGS
Where room availability is shown 'on request', such availability is offered on a provisional basis. Rooms cannot be held pending your acceptance of an offer, and availability can change rapidly. Hotels moreover reserve the right to amend or reject bookings, or to change their booking conditions. To avoid disappointment, offers should be accepted as soon as possible if you wish to make a firm booking. Starfish will email you within 24 hours to confirm your booking status.
If your check-in date is within seven days of making a request booking, you are advised to contact the hotel direct to confirm – especially if you plan to make travel arrangements based around your request booking.
