Can I Change the Name on a Hotel Reservation?

Yes, in most of cases, it is possible to change the name of the main guest on a hotel reservation. However, this depends on the booking conditions and the hotel.

If you can no longer travel or want to find accommodation at a lower price, it is important to know whether the reservation can be transferred to someone else.

How Is the Name on a Reservation Changed?

Not all hotel reservations allow a change of guest name. That is why it is important to check whether a reservation can be transferred before it is listed for sale.

At SecondBook, we take care of the entire process. We verify that the reservation can be transferred and, once it is sold, we manage the change of the main guest's name.

This means that neither the buyer nor the seller has to handle the verification or transfer themselves.
