Currently just arrived at the hotel Orange booked for my training but I can't figure out what it is they actually pay for....and before the trolls come along, if it were office hours I would be ringing them to find out.

This is what they sent me:

Payment: The account for the room, dinner and breakfast to be sent to BSI House. Please see notes for allowances. If no allowances are stated in the notes then all extras should be settled on departure. Please note that all guests are required to check and sign invoices prior to departure.

Notes: INFORMATION: Room, breakfast and dinner (including 1 drink with meal) to be billed to BSI. Bill back facility covers daily newspaper, tray charges and use of internet. Only charges shown here will be accepted by BSI on bill back, any additional charges (eg. mini bar & in room entertainment) must be settled by the guest on departure. A seperate invoice must be issues for each cost centre.

...whats your interpretation?

On check-in they requested that I put down a deposit for some of the extras. So I take it that I pay for them and then they pay me back afterwards...is that correct? is that what "Bill Back" actually means.

Hoping someone can shed some light on the situation.

Thanks.
 
It depends on the company and the arrangement with the hotel.

You will pay for anything that you bill to your room other than breakfast and dinner. If you order your dinner or breakfast in your room you will have to pay the tray charge.

They say you can bill back for a daily newspaper (most hotels do this for free), tray charge (anything from £3.50 to £10) and use of internet (anything from £10 - £30).

Basically as long as you dont use the mini bar, charge drinks from the main bar to your room you will be fine. Don't ever use the mini bar it is extortionate, and just pay for your drinks at the bar with cash/card.

Hope that helps.
