The Rathbone Direct Rate Promise
Booking directly with The Rathbone is the simplest way to enjoy the best value, the smoothest experience, and the warm, personal attention we’re known for.
We always offer advantageous direct rates on our website. If you find the same room, for the same dates, offered at a lower publicly available price elsewhere online, we will happily match it.
To ensure clarity and fairness, price-match requests must meet the following criteria:
How Our Direct Rate Promise Works
- Your original reservation must be made through rathbonehotel.co.uk.
- The lower rate must be publicly available and bookable online, with identical conditions:
room type, dates, number of guests, cancellation policy, payment terms, and any inclusions. - Please submit a claim within 24 hours of your original booking.
- If approved, we will adjust your rate to match the lower price.
- Differences under £4 are not eligible, due to exchange-rate fluctuations.
- The lower rate must still be available at the time of verification.
- The comparison applies to room rates only, excluding taxes, service charges, package components, or opaque booking sites.
How To Submit A Claim
Simply email our reservations team:
- your Rathbone booking confirmation,
- the website link where you found the lower rate,
- and a screenshot showing the rate and conditions.
We will review your request within two working days, and if eligible, we will amend your booking accordingly.
