Golden Five Diamound (Hurghada, Hurghada, Egypt)

Price Match Guarantee

Whenever you book with On the Beach through our website we want to make sure you get the very best deal possible. To make sure of this, we now offer a Price Match when you book a flight plus hotel, which is your guarantee that you never pay too much for any holidays sold on our website.

The Price Match is simple. We are so confident we offer the lowest prices available online that we will refund the difference if you find a lower price on any other UK website, on the same day as you made your purchase with us.

Terms and Conditions

1. The Price Match applies only to internet sites that have the identical (i.e. party size, dates, duration, flight times, flight numbers, in flight extras, hotel, room type, number of rooms and board basis) product immediately available all on one site, and the service is priced accurately.
2. Price Match requests are for bookings made online only, must not be submitted to us without having confirmed an order through our site and must be submitted to us on the same day of your purchase on our website.
3. You must have taken reasonable care to book on our site at the best available price.
4. The holiday you are asking us to Price Match must be from a legitimate ABTA and/or ATOL bonded website, available to book online and must include any handling charges, booking fees, credit card fees and such like.
5. The holiday you are asking us to Price Match cannot include in its price any money off coupons, promotional vouchers or offers or bulk-buy discounts.
6. The Price Match guarantee does not include On the Beach matching our own offers which may change subject to availability or holidays sold through internet auction sites.
7. Please note that we will not Price Match individual elements of a holiday where you have chosen to book the flight and hotel with us - we will only Price Match a better overall total price. For example, if you have booked a holiday including a flight and a hotel on our site, we will not reduce our price where you find a lower price for just the flight or just the hotel separately and where we offer to Price Match a holiday, both elements of the holiday must be available on a single website, bookable as one unit, at a lower overall price.
8. The holiday you are asking to Price Match must be in pounds sterling.
9. We are unable to match prices for hotel only bookings.
10. We are unable to match prices for flight only bookings.
11. We are unable to match prices for tour operator package holidays.

To request a Price Match

Email pricematch@onthebeach.co.uk and remember to include:

• Your On the Beach order reference number.
• The URL of the page displaying the cheaper price. (Please do not send the URL of the homepage)

Please note we cannot accept responsibility where you have failed to send us the information requested in the format required or where a URL from the site you are asking us to Price Match is no longer active, as it prevents us from viewing the comparison holiday.

Should this mean that we are unable to view a Price Match request from you on the day of purchase we will not be obliged to match the price for a booking if you later send a working URL or complete screen shot.

We will review the details of your Price Match request and reply to you via email within 7 working days. Refunds will be re-credited to the original card used to make your online purchase within 14 days or where only a deposit has been paid; the amount will be discounted from your outstanding balance.
