The Hotel Providers are responsible for the Hotel Products and for all booking contracts, including for example Youmalou Express Bookings. The booking of a Hotel Product will solely be made with the Hotel Provider. The Hotel Provider’s terms and privacy policies apply to your booking, so you must agree to, and understand those terms. Further, the terms of the hotel where you plan to stay, if different from the Hotel Provider, will also apply to your booking, so you must also agree to, and understand those terms.

The contract for the relevant booking will be made between you and the Hotel Provider. Youmalou will indicate the Hotel Provider, who is the actual merchant of record, e.g. on the checkout page, the booking website or in the terms and conditions for the booking.
