I think it means they can't believe you booked that hotel!
Only joking

Well, it was a lot cheaper than the rooms without (!) so you could be right

I'm not 100% certain but I know when I have booked with medhotels (and possibly alpha rooms) in the past the (!) shows when you book a holiday when they are offering EBD (Early booking discount). So I think it is just warning you the price you have got the room for is for a limited period and will increase if you leave it and book after a certain date. What agents did you use?

I have a friend in Spain and when he writes an email to me he uses a PC loaded with the Spanish version of Windows and a keyboard for a Spanish user. The characters on it are arranged slighty differently and it has a few others that we don't have in the UK.

Every time he quotes anything I get '!' instead of the quotation marks. At the beginning of what he quotes I get the '!' and the end of the quote the exclamation mark is upside down.

Are you seeing them in an email by any chance?

Hi thanks for the replies - It was on the youtravel website not an email - was hoping it was EBD but as we're going in May wasnt sure? Had another look after we booked though and (!) had gone and the price doubled so fingers crossed we've got a bargain

it means that there's a condition to your booking. either there is some sort of restriction to that room, i.e not with diabled access or something like to that affect.

hope this helps, and hope im right.

22nd June 09- 3rd July 09- ULTIMATE LADS HOLIDAY!
cant wait

EBD denotes the fact that you have booked the holiday early and thus qualified for early booking discount - not the month you travel. Therefore the (!) denotes a restriction in that the price you have paid is only available to you because you have booked early. So in that respect I would agree with JoeJustice that it denotes a restriction of some type.

Thanks we'll just have to see when we get there I suppose. As long as the sun's shining & the drinks are flowing, we'll be happy
PS Only booked it 12 weeks before the date we travel so that's why I didn't really think it was early enough to be EBD?
