Non Abta Member
I have booked a hotel only via Thomas Cooks web site. On looking at the confirmation voucher, the company Hotels4u are part of the Thomas Cook group but are not ABTA members. Is this common. I guess if Hotels4u go t*ts up I cant get compensation and Thomas Cook will get a lot of flak,which they dont need at the moment.

"We act as agent only in respect of all bookings we take or make on your behalf. We accept no liability in relation to any contract you enter into or for any accommodation and/or transfers (“arrangements”) that you book or for the acts or omissions of any accommodation and/or transfer providers (“principal(s)”) or other person(s) or party(ies) connected with the arrangements. For all bookings your contract will be with the principal of the arrangements concerned. The principals’ booking conditions will apply to your contract."
So, for example, if the hotel is half-built, over-booked, over-run by rats, and lacking all of the facilities you expected, you can only pursue the hotel operator for compensation, not Hotels4U.
