Hotels mostly handle 1 bed and 2 in some rooms, the maximum allowed is depending on the accommodation is 4 people. Only the accommodation establishment will determine which are the ages for which children’s rates apply, and will also determine which are infants. For a child to pay as a child, there must be at least two adults sharing the same room. Hotels reserve the right to admit 1 adult plus 1 child or infant in a room.

In Europe, South America and Japan it is common for hotels to have one bed per person (except couples), with a maximum of 3 people per room. In these establishments, children under 12 years of age and over 4 years of age pay -with some exceptions- the same as an adult. In the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Far East (except Japan) and the South Pacific, it is common for hotels to have two double beds and allow accommodation for up to 4 people, in existing beds. In the case of married couples, they usually provide rooms with a king size bed. Hotels that apply a family plan, allow two children under 12 years old to stay at no additional charge, with two adults in the same room, using existing bedding. If an additional bed is required, its amount must be paid directly by “the client” to the hotel.

TIPS

Those programs that include tips to porters in hotels and airports have special mention in this regard. This is not the case in airports since most of them do not have this service because they have been replaced by cars. Tips for drivers and guides are mostly not included and it is normal to give them when the service has been according to expectations.

The amount of tip can vary depending on various factors, such as the quality of the service, the duration of the tour, the complexity of the task, among others. There is no fixed amount established in some countries, in others there is a fixed amount, but it is common to give a percentage of the total cost of the service or a discretionary amount that is considered appropriate.

It is important to be aware of local customs and regulations regarding tipping, as these can vary from country to country. In some places, tips are an essential part of the income of tourism workers, while in other places they may be less common or even unexpected. It is always advisable to inquire about tipping practices at the specific destination in order to act in accordance with local customs.
