Requirements

The hotel must have a written dog policy and make it available to every guest before booking, published on its own website or booking platform listing or supplied in writing on request, and consistent with any dog related claims it makes on third party platforms.

Real food and water bowls must be provided in rooms used by dogs. Bowls must be stable, non disposable, and of appropriate size.

Dogs must be allowed in at least one indoor shared guest area used for purposes other than transit, such as a lounge, bar, restaurant, or cafe.

Any dog fee must be disclosed in the dog policy required under R1, with the amount and structure stated, even where the answer is that dogs stay free.

The dog policy must state whether a damage deposit applies to dog stays and, where one does, the amount, so guests know the full cost before booking.

The maximum number of dogs permitted per room must be stated in the dog policy, so guests know before booking how many dogs they can bring.
