👉 “We’ll confirm it once the hotel approves”
📘 What is On Request?
An On Request room or rate is not instantly confirmed. The booking remains pending until the hotel manually checks availability and approves it.
✅ Why is On Request important?
It helps hotels avoid overbooking and keep tighter control over inventory, especially during peak periods.
💡 Practical example
A suite booking during high season requires manual confirmation before being accepted.
