How can I make sure I read the rates correctly?
All rates for all packages are listed per person based on 2 people sharing the room. If you travel alone single rate applies. You have to look for the double rate if you have 2 people in your party and for the single rate if you plan to stay alone in your room. Most times cost varies depending on seasonalities. All price charts give rates for all seasons usually for a one-year period. Most Hungarian spas list the basic spa rates with 5 treatments only per week specifying the supplement cost for the complete spa in a separate row for those who require more treatments. The prepaid upgrade cost is a very good deal much cheaper than paying for additional treatments locally one-by-one. If something is not clear, please send us an email or call us toll free at 1 800 838 6860 Monday-Friday. We are closed on Saturdays and Sundays

Can I avoid paying the single supplement if I am willing to share my room with an other single person on the tour?
No, we do not handle single matching. We do not know people who book with us personally. We are not aware of their sleeping or washroom habits and do not wish to disappoint our clients with incompatible roommates.  We suggest you travel with a friend or family member if you wish to avoid paying for the single supplement.
