This account credit can be used unconditionally for your next reservation with no expiration date or usage restrictions. This approach not only protects you from potential currency loss but also streamlines the rebooking process for future stays at hotels in Amsterdam or elsewhere.
For bookings with specific cancellation terms (such as non-refundable rates or time-sensitive penalties), these conditions will be clearly displayed before confirmation. Our member service team can often negotiate with hotels for more favorable terms in cases of unexpected circumstances, especially for members with higher tier status.

You can select preferences such as king beds, twin beds, baby cribs, or extra beds during the booking process or after confirmation. Once your reservation is confirmed, please contact our dedicated customer service team via Telegram or email to ensure your specific requirements are properly communicated to the hotel and guaranteed for your arrival.
Our concierge team takes personal responsibility for coordinating with the hotel to fulfill your requests, and will follow up with confirmation once arrangements are secured. For frequent or complex requirements, we can also add permanent preferences to your member profile to automatically apply to all future bookings at properties.

Unlike most OTAs, Bitvoya bookings allow you to simultaneously earn hotel loyalty program points (SNP) while enjoying our platform benefits—essentially giving you double rewards on the same stay.
Enhanced Value Proposition:
This dual-benefit system creates a significant value advantage compared to standard OTA bookings, particularly for frequent travelers to Amsterdam who can accumulate substantial program benefits across both systems.
