A deposit when you check into a hotel is a pledge that serves as a guarantee that you will not harm the establishment. For example, in five-star hotels in the UAE take deposits from $ 200 to $ 2000 per room per week. It can be taken in cash, and it may look as if some amount is blocked on your bank card, and becomes available within 3-6 days after departure. Upon eviction from the hotel, in case of absence of the claims of the receiving party, the deposit is returned to you in full.

Also, the deposit can be partially used during the rest. You can eat and drink without spending cash, but only by signing checks. The amount of checks will simply be written off from your deposit. Naturally, the rest of the amount you will return at the end of the rest.

It depends on what hotel. In the settlement will not be denied, but access to some services can be closed.

Everything depends on the level of the hotel.

As a rule, in hotels of the category 5 * Deluxe we did not encounter categorical refusals of paying the deposit by the guests, as making deposits upon arrival is an international practice of high-level hotels.

If guests refuse to make a deposit, the hotels put guests on cash: all calculations in bars, restaurants, SPA, for room-service, etc. are carried out immediately at the time of the service, the minibar is also sealed, external telephone lines are disconnected and in some cases cleaned TVs, if there is no possibility to disable paid channels if they are available.
