The above is the content of the notification. However, since Booking.com is a travel booking site operated overseas, there may be some questionable phrasing such as "minor," but please understand that our facility is not involved in any way with that.
This accommodation tax will be added to the room rate for stays from April 1, 2026 onwards, regardless of the date of your reservation. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
