Reservation policy · 1. How to book
Reservations can be made through the booking engine on this website or the Hotel's contact channels, indicating arrival and departure dates, number of guests, and desired room category. The reservation is confirmed once the guarantee process described below is complete.
Reservation policy · 2. Reservation guarantee
To confirm the reservation, a guarantee charge is made to the card provided, under the conditions of the selected rate shown at the time of booking.
If the charge is declined, Il Gatto Rosso will contact the guest to notify them and will allow a window to guarantee the reservation with another card or by bank deposit. If there is no response within that window, the reservation will be automatically cancelled.
Reservation policy · 3. Cancellations and changes
Guests may cancel their reservation by contacting the Hotel directly. Cancellation conditions depend on the selected rate and are shown at the time of booking.
A change to the reservation includes: changing the arrival date, shortening the originally booked stay, or changing the number of rooms booked. Changes requested within the cancellation window above are subject to the same conditions as a cancellation. Changing the name of the guest who made the reservation is treated as a cancellation.
These conditions do not apply to reservations made under special, promotional, or corporate rates: those rates carry their own cancellation conditions, shown at the time of booking.
Non-refundable rates: if the reservation was made under a rate marked non-refundable, the penalty for cancellation or change is 100% of the total stay amount, regardless of how much notice is given.
Reservation policy · 4. No-shows
A no-show is when the guest does not arrive at the hotel on the arrival date and has not cancelled the reservation within the notice period in section 3.
For a no-show on a reservation guaranteed by credit card, a charge will be made to that card for the amount stated in the cancellation policy in effect at the time of booking. If the guarantee was a deposit, cash, or bank transfer, that amount will be applied to the penalty. The hotel will notify the charge by email, with a cancellation confirmation document.
Reservation policy · 5. Check-in and check-out times
- Check-in: from 3:00 pm
- Check-out: until 11:00 am
- Check-out outside these hours may incur an additional charge, communicated in advance.
Reservation policy · 6. Rates, taxes, and invoicing
Rates are expressed in Mexican pesos (MXN), per room, number of guests, and selected date; the booking engine may also show them in US dollars (USD). The reservation total includes VAT (IVA, 16%) and the Oaxaca lodging tax (3%).
To request an invoice, guests must present a valid tax ID (constancia de situación fiscal) at check-in. The invoice is issued for the total amount paid.
Reservation policy · 7. Payment methods
Accepted payment methods are shown at the time of booking. If payment by deposit or transfer applies, contact the Hotel at ciao@ilgattorosso.com or +52 921 473 5989 for current bank details.
Reservation policy · 8. Occupancy and special conditions
