Kids Stay Free

Kids Stay Free includes the eligible child’s room price only. Flights, transfers, meals, travel insurance, resort fees, local taxes and other extras aren’t included and remain payable as part of your holiday. This applies at every hotel offering the Kids Stay Free rate, so it's worth checking what's covered before you book.

Eligibility depends on the child age range set by each hotel. Enter the correct ages of all children when searching and we’ll show you which Kids Stay Free offers your family qualifies for. Check the individual offer details before booking.

Up to two children can stay free when sharing the same room with two full-paying adults, depending on the hotel’s pricing and offer. The number of free child places available will be reflected in the price when you search. This is shown automatically once you've entered accurate ages for everyone travelling.

No you don’t need a promo code. Simply enter your children's ages when searching. If your family and chosen hotel are eligible for Kids Stay Free, the offer will be identified and the child place applied automatically. There's nothing extra to add at checkout, so the price you see already reflects any free child place.

No, flights and transfers aren’t included in the free child place. Kids Stay Free applies to the eligible child’s room price only. Flights, transfers, meals, travel insurance and any other extras are priced separately and remain payable in full as part of your overall holiday cost, whichever hotel you choose to stay at.

If only one free child place is available, it will automatically apply to the youngest child. Any additional children staying in the same room will be charged at the hotel's standard child price. This is applied automatically at the time of search, based on the ages you've entered for each child.

1. Introduction

1.1 The "Kids Stay Free" feature (the "Feature") is run by Thomas Cook Tourism (UK) Company Limited, with its registered address at 1 Fore Street Avenue, London EC2Y 9DT, United Kingdom, incorporated in England and Wales with registered company number 12211539 ("TCT", "we", "us", "our").

1.2 The purpose of the Feature is to facilitate the identification of accommodation that may offer favorable pricing conditions for family stays with children by displaying the Kids Stay Free Label on selected offers, subject to the specific terms set out herein.

1.3 The Kids Stay Free Label displayed on the offer does not mean that the Child's or Children's holiday is free. The Feature refers solely to the accommodation element of the holidays as further described in clause 4 (Scope of the Feature). Customers are advised to read these Terms carefully to understand the full scope and limitations of the Feature before making a booking.

1.4 The Kids Stay Free feature is an ongoing feature of the Thomas Cook website and is not a time-limited promotion. It is available until further notice. TCT may add, modify, suspend or withdraw the feature (in whole or in part), including in respect of any individual accommodation or offer, at any time and without notice. Any material change to these Terms will be published on the Thomas Cook website with an updated "Last updated" date, and will not affect any booking already confirmed before that change takes effect.

1.5 These Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") apply to the selected offers of accommodation presented at the Thomas Cook website: https://www.thomascook.com/.

1.6 All bookings are subject to Thomas Cook's Booking terms and conditions available at https://www.thomascook.com/legal/booking-terms-conditions. All terms used but not defined in these Terms shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Booking terms and conditions. These Terms apply in addition to, and should be read alongside, the Booking terms and conditions. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Booking terms and conditions, the Booking terms and conditions shall prevail.

2. Definitions

For the purposes of these Terms:

2.1 "Adult" means a person who qualifies as an adult for the purposes of the relevant accommodation offer, as determined by the accommodation Supplier. The minimum age for an Adult may vary by accommodation and will be specified in the offer details.

2.2 "Child" means a person who qualifies as a child for the purposes of the relevant accommodation offer, as determined by the accommodation Supplier. The maximum qualifying age for a Child may be up to 17 (seventeen) years old, but this may vary by accommodation and will be specified in the offer details.

2.3 "Kids Stay Free Label" means the "Kids Stay Free" indicator displayed on selected accommodation offers on the Thomas Cook website.

3. The "Kids Stay Free" Label

3.1 The Kids Stay Free Label is aimed at identifying accommodation offers where the total price for two (2) full-paying Adults sharing a room is identical to the total price for two (2) full-paying Adults and one (1) Child or two (2) Children, all (Adults and Child/Children) sharing the same room together, as presented in TCT's booking system.

3.2 The Kids Stay Free Label is a display indicator provided for search assistance purposes only. It reflects a pricing outcome derived from accommodation Supplier data. It does not constitute a separate promotional offer, discount by TCT, and does not create any contractual obligation or guarantee on the part of TCT in respect of the availability or terms of any such offer.

3.3 The Kids Stay Free Label is applied automatically to qualifying search results based on the details entered in the search bar, including the number of rooms, the number and ages of participants. Customers must ensure that ages are entered accurately, as eligibility is determined at the time of search.

3.4 Where a search includes more than one room, the Kids Stay Free Label is assessed separately for each room and may not apply to all rooms in a multi-room search.

3.5 Where a lower price for the same accommodation, room type and dates is available through another offer on the Thomas Cook website, that lower price will be displayed and applied instead. The Kids Stay Free Label does not prevent Customers from benefiting from any other lower price that may be available.

3.6 Where the accommodation Supplier's pricing permits only one (1) Child place to be included at no additional cost (i.e. a second Child sharing the same room would incur an additional charge), the free place will be allocated to the youngest Child, and the standard child price set by the accommodation Supplier will apply to any additional Child.

4. Scope of the Feature

4.1 The Feature and the Kids Stay Free Label apply to the accommodation element of the holiday only: room price. They do not include, and no saving or discount of any kind is implied in relation to, any other element, including but not limited to:

• flights or any other transport;
• airport transfers or ground transportation;
• travel insurance;
• luggage, seat selection, priority boarding, or any other ancillary products;
• meals, drinks, or extras not included in the room price;
• resort fees, local taxes, visa fees or any charges payable locally at the hotel; or
• excursions or other activities.

4.2 For the avoidance of doubt, even where a booking is eligible under the Feature, all charges relating to the Child or Children that do not form part of the room price remain payable in full. Deposit may be required for each participant on the booking, including Child or Children, at the time of booking, notwithstanding the Kids Stay Free Label.

4.3 Where any additional charges referred to in clause 4.1 are known and quantifiable at the time of search, they will be clearly displayed to the Customer, with the same prominence as the accommodation price, before the booking is completed, in accordance with applicable UK consumer protection law on price transparency.

5. Availability, exceptions and changes

5.1 The Feature applies to new bookings of selected accommodation only and is subject to availability. The Kids Stay Free Label displayed in search results does not guarantee the availability of the offer at the time a booking is finalized. If no child place is available at the selected accommodation at the time of booking, the standard price charged by the accommodation Supplier will apply and will be displayed to the Customer.

5.2 The Child or Children must fall within the age range accepted by the specific accommodation Supplier for a child place. The applicable age limit is set by the accommodation Supplier and will be displayed in the offer details. Customers must verify the age limit of the Child or Children for their selected accommodation before booking. The minimum stay requirement specified by the accommodation Supplier, if any, must be satisfied.

5.3 The Kids Stay Free Label reflects the terms and conditions set by the individual accommodation Supplier, which may vary and are subject to change without notice. TCT reserves the right to remove or amend the Kids Stay Free Label in respect of any accommodation or offer at any time without notice.
