Subscribing to the rewards programme entitles the subscriber to the following benefits: 
- A 10% discount on room rates (except for promotional rates) and on the breakfast rate in effect at the time of booking, all year round, seven days a week. This discount applies upon arrival at the hotel booked and cannot be combined with special rates, special offers and/or promotions or seasonal discounts.
- A 5% discount on the reduced room rate and a 10% discount on the breakfast rate, in effect at the time of booking, all year round, seven days a week. This discount applies upon arrival at the hotel booked.
- A dedicated section on the website www.hotel-bb.com accessed with an e-mail address and password.

- In France, a special hotline to manage the bookings of B&B HOTELS CLUB Members.

6.3. Accrual of points

The Member earns 100 points for each Valid Night, for one room, except for rooms paid for with a voucher. If the Member books two or more rooms for the same night, the points are only accrued for the room that they personally occupy.

The account login information and accrued points cannot under any circumstances be transferred, given away or combined with the accounts of other Members.
Accrued points cannot under any circumstances be converted into their monetary value and do not entitle the Member to any reimbursement.

The Member can use their voucher for a free night up to a value of €60 for a room booking (with or without breakfast) costing over €60, and pay the difference between the value of the voucher and the total cost of the booking.
Validation of vouchers is subject to the availability of hotel rooms. Vouchers can be transferred to third parties. Free nights with breakfast up to a value of €60 do not allow points to be accrued.
Once the Member has accrued the required minimum number of points, they can convert them into a voucher by logging in to their personal online account at their convenience. Their voucher will then be available in their personal online account.
Vouchers are valid for 12 months from the date when they are generated. The Member can use their voucher in two ways: either online by entering the voucher number when going through the checkout, or showing it at the hotel reception desk.
Once the booking made with a voucher is confirmed (online or when the booking is entered into the electronic reservation system by the hotel reception staff), the voucher is considered spent. It cannot be refunded or re-generated, even if the stay is cancelled.

7. Functions of the program

7.1 / Validity of the benefits of the program

The following benefits are valid in B&B hotels in the participating countries. In order to benefit from these advantages, the Member must provide his/her name and email address or identification number at the hotel reception. Online, the member must use his/her personal account.

The benefits are only valid for bookings made, at the reception of a B&B hotel on site, via the B&B Hotels website or mobile app, as well as by phone or email directly with the hotel. All bookings made through a reseller, tour operator or third party travel agency (such as expedia.com, booking.com, etc.) are not direct channels and are not eligible to earn points.

An overnight stay for which payment is made at the check-in machine without prior booking with the Member's identification number does not entitle the Member to earn points.

7.2 / The advantages of the program

• 10% discount on the room rate and breakfast rate, valid at the time of booking, all year round, seven days a week. This discount cannot be combined with special rates, special offers and / or promotions or other discounts.
• In case of already existing special prices, special offers and / or promotions or other discounts, a 5% discount on the promotion room price and a 10% discount on the breakfast price, valid at the time of booking, all year round, seven days a week.
• Special section on the website www.hotel-bb.com, accessible via email and password.
• Crediting of points, for each overnight stay booked directly. The accumulated points can be converted into accommodation or breakfast vouchers.

7.3 / Amount of the points credit

The member receives 100 points for each overnight stay that the member has personally booked and used. No points will be credited for overnight stays that have been paid for in whole or in part with a voucher or that the Member has booked for a third person.

The collected points are not transferable and cannot be combined with the collected points of other members.

The payment of the collected points in EURO is excluded.

7.4 / Validity of the points

The points collected on the membership account are valid until 30 days after the expiration of the membership. If the member does not renew his/her membership for the program within 30 days, the remaining points are automatically lost. In case of timely renewal of the membership, the points accumulated so far will be automatically transferred.

7.5 / Conversion of points

Once the Member has accumulated 300 (three hundred) points, he/she will have the opportunity to receive a voucher for a free breakfast at any hotel in the participating countries.

Once the member has earned 500 (five hundred) points, he/she will have the opportunity to receive a voucher for two free breakfasts at any hotel in the participating countries.

Once the member has earned 1000 (one thousand) points, he/she will have the opportunity to receive a voucher for one night's accommodation with or without breakfast with a maximum value of €60 in any hotel in the participating countries.

Once he/she has reached the minimum number of points required, the member can convert his/her points into vouchers via his/her personal online account. The voucher is then available on the personal online account.

7.6 / Redemption of the vouchers

The member can redeem the vouchers in each case when booking at the respective B&B hotel.

Overnight vouchers (with or without breakfast) have a maximum value of 60 €. If the room rate is higher than this amount, the voucher can still be used, the difference between the total price of the booking and the amount of the voucher must then be paid by the member.

The use of the vouchers is subject to the availability of hotel rooms in the respective B&B hotel.

The vouchers may be passed on to third parties. Resale of the vouchers is not permitted.

No points can be collected for free nights with breakfast up to a value of €60.

The vouchers are valid for 12 months from the date of issue. The member can redeem his voucher either online by entering the respective voucher number or in person by showing it at the hotel counter.

Once the voucher booking is confirmed (online or when the booking is entered into the electronic reservation system by hotel staff at the hotel reception), the voucher is considered used.

If the stay is cancelled and the voucher redemption has not taken place, the guest must contact the service team via the contact form.

When redeeming a voucher, online check-in or check-in directly at the vending machine in the hotel is not possible.

Currently, only one voucher per overnight stay is possible online. If several vouchers are redeemed for a longer stay, the guest must contact the hotel directly.

10./ Protection of personal data

B&B Hotels GmbH, as data controller within the meaning of the applicable data protection laws, processes personal data provided directly by members. The personal data is processed in particular for the following purposes:

• To administer the program and process the membership application.
• To receive electronic communications related to the operations and services offered by the Program (information messages, score, etc.).

These aforementioned purposes of data processing are necessary and have as their legal basis the fulfillment of the rights and obligations arising from this present contract (Art. 6 para.1 lit.b DSGVO).

Personal data of members processed by B&B Hotels Germany GmbH may be transferred to hotels in participating countries to enable the member to use their benefits.

Personal data of members may also be processed by B&B Hotels Germany GmbH's third party contractors that manage B&B Hotels Germany GmbH's information technology systems and portals. These contractors are subject to security and data protection obligations in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

Furthermore, on the basis of this consent, members' personal data may also be used by B&B Hotels Germany GmbH and its partners for commercial purposes and market research. This consent may be revoked by the member at any time with future effect by contacting B&B Hotels Germany GmbH using the contact details provided below.

Members' personal data will be stored for the duration of their membership.

After termination of a contractual relationship, personal data will be stored as long as the responsible party is legally obliged to do so, Art. 17 DSGVO. This regularly results from legal obligations to provide proof and to store data from commercial and tax law. After the purpose has ceased to exist or these periods have expired, the data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the legal requirements.

The personal data processed will not be transferred outside the European Union or to countries other than those recognized as having adequate security measures in place.

Data subjects may request information about the data stored about them at the above address. In addition, they may, under certain conditions, request the correction or deletion of their data. Furthermore, they have the right to restrict the processing of the data as well as the right to receive the provided data in a structured, common and machine-readable format. Furthermore, if they have given their consent, they have the right to revoke it. They have the possibility to lodge a complaint with the data protection officer or a supervisory authority if they believe that the processing of personal data concerning them violates the GDPR.

Members may also provide specific or general instructions regarding certain forms of data processing in order to preserve, delete and disclose their personal data after their death. You may change or cancel these instructions at any time. The specific instructions can be deposited with B&B Hotels.

Pursuant to Art. 21 (1) DSGVO, the data processing may be objected to on grounds relating to the particular situation of the data subject at the above address. The data subject has the right to object, without giving reasons, to processing of his/her personal data for direct marketing purposes. If the controller processes the data to protect legitimate interests, they may object to such processing on grounds relating to their particular situation. The controller shall then no longer process such personal data, unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms concerned, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

To exercise their rights, members should contact B&B Hotels Germany GmbH in the following manner:

by email:
datenschutz@hotelbb.com

by mail to the following address: 

B&B Hotels Germany GmbH
