Check-out

Please inform our Reception Team about the information you need on your invoice in advance or during the payment.

After your stay

Why may it take longer for my deposit to become available after check-out?

When a guarantee has been provided through a credit or debit card pre-authorisation, the hotel releases the unused amount immediately after the guest’s departure. The time required for the amount to become available again depends on the processing and communication between the card-issuing bank and the hotel’s acquiring bank. The released amount may therefore take additional time to appear in the cardholder’s available balance.

Please contact our Front office team at reception@ghms.bg and they will assist you.
