• When will I receive my hotel confirmation email?

  

  You will receive your accommodation booking confirmation within 24 hours of placing your reservation. We also recommend to check your junk mail or spam folder for your itinerary.

  Please also note that you can always view your booking status online using My Trip on our website or by signing in and selecting My Bookings from the account menu.

  Cryptocurrency payments require a certain number of blockchain confirmations for the booking to proceed. The number of blockchain confirmations required for the most commonly used payment options are as follows:

  • BTC payments: 3 confirmations
  • ETH payments (incl. ERC20): 20 confirmations
  • BNB payments (incl. BEP20): near-instant
  • TRON payments (incl. TRC20): near-instant

  You can book up to four rooms per booking. For group bookings that exceed four rooms, please contact our Customer Support Team via [email protected].

  Hotel reservations are usually confirmed within 60 minutes of booking.

  Once confirmed, your official hotel itinerary will be emailed to you.

  To help us resolve this quickly, please provide your Order Number and your Transaction Hash / Proof of Payment.

   

• Why isn't there any hotel availability showing?

  

  If our website displays no availability, that unfortunately means we have no available rooms at your chosen property for your preferred dates. Please try updating your search criteria with new dates or filters.

  If your travel arrangements are not flexible and you must stay at this property, please live-chat us or submit a Contact Us form for assistance.

• My order is expired

  

  If your flight, hotel, activity, or car rental booking shows a status of expired after you made a payment, please do not attempt to rebook. Bookings automatically expire if a payment is not fully confirmed within our 10-minute window.

  Why did my booking expire?

  Due to fluctuating product rates and real-time currency or cryptocurrency exchange shifts, we limit the initial reservation window to 10 minutes. The reservation will be marked as expired if a successful payment confirmation is not received before this timer runs out.

  I already sent the payment, what happens next?

  Some payment methods, particularly cryptocurrency transactions, can experience blockchain network delays, exceeding our reservation window. Once the payment is detected, our system will automatically attempt to make the reservation again. 

  What should I do if my booking fails after payment is made?

  Our team will find you another alternative for your booking. If there are no suitable alternative options available, we will refund the amount you paid.

   

  If you haven't receive an email after 60 minutes, please reach out to speak to our Customer Support team via Live Chat or email [email protected].

  To help us resolve this quickly, please provide your Order Number and your Transaction Hash / Proof of Payment.

The giveback will be credited directly to your wallet after you complete your stay. If you don’t have a Travala account yet, create an account here. 

• What should I do if my hotel booking expires or fails after payment is made?

• How do we determine our hotel sort and filter order?

  

  Sort and Filter functions in the search result page support you in finding the best accommodation offers as quickly as possible.

  •

      • The Filter function enables you to include or exclude various options to suit your travel needs.

  By default, if you do not use either Sort or Filter function, your search results may be ordered based on two factors:

  •
