1) ID policy basics
Most hotels verify identity at check-in with a valid government ID. Rules vary by property, so confirm accepted IDs, guest count, and timing before you book.

- Check-out time: late checkout may not be allowed.
- Booking name: ID should match the guest name.
- Deposit: some hotels take a refundable deposit.
3) Visitor or guest policy
Guest policy defines if visitors are allowed, what verification is required, and any time limits. Each hotel sets its own rules.
- Some hotels: visitors allowed with ID checks.
- Some hotels: visitors restricted or time-limited.
- Some hotels: only registered guests allowed.
4) Cancellation and refund basics
Check these before confirming a booking:
