How to display Interhome services
For some properties Interhome offers additional services (also referred to as "extra costs" or simply "services") that are not included in the final price.
Service examples
| service | type | payable | entity |
|---|---|---|---|
| local tax | mandatory | on spot | per person and per day |
| final cleaning | mandatory | on spot | once per stay |
| bike rental | optional | on spot | per person per day |
| bed linen | optional | on spot | per person per week |
| extra bed | optional | invoice | per person per week |
As you notice from the table above, some services (such as final cleaning) are mandatory, others are optional. Some costs are to be paid at the time of booking, others are to be paid on spot. Some are payable once per stay, others are payable per person and/or per day.
All of those services must be displayed to potential clients prior to the booking in order to clarify what will be included in the final prices and what is to be paid on spot!
Retrieving service details
In order to display all services relevant to a particular accommodation it is necessary to retrieve the information from "/accommodation/services" or "booking/checkPrice". Please note that the element "isMandatory=true" refers to the fact that this service is mandatory to be displayed on invoice. It does not mean that the service is mandatory to book.
