Our verdict
SALA Hospitality Group suits families booking a hotel stay rather than a connectivity kit. It sells hotels as its only product and is based in Thailand, so it earns a place next to broader travel brands only when the bed is the only thing being bought.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Hotels are the only product sold, so the booking flow stays focused for guests who just need a room.
- Support runs on email and phone, which covers both phone and email for questions before and during a stay.
- The booking entity is named plainly as SALA Hospitality Group, based in Thailand, so who takes the booking is easy to identify.
- Sits alongside general travel brands such as Emirates that also sell flights, hotels and tours and cover transfers, parking and lounges alongside a room.
Cons
- Booking fees of 7% VAT + 10% service + 1% provincial tax sit on top of the room rate, so the headline price is not the final outlay.
- Cancellation terms are Varies by rate offer rules, which makes a change of dates harder to plan around.
- Support runs on email and phone only, with no live chat listed for guests who want an instant answer.
- Unlike Intrepid Travel, which sells packages, tours and cruise, SALA Hospitality Group offers hotels alone, so flights, rail and tours have to come from elsewhere.

Who it suits
- Families whose trip is a single hotel stay with no other travel bookings to make.
- Groups that want phone support as well as email when plans change.
- Travellers who prefer a named local booking entity rather than a global travel platform.
Who should look elsewhere
- Travellers booking flights, packages or tours in the same session, who will find a wider range at Intrepid Travel or Čedok.
- Guests who want live chat support, since SALA Hospitality Group offers email and phone and nothing else.
- Anyone who needs a fixed cancellation window, because terms are Varies by rate offer rules.
Fees and cancellation
The booking fee is 7% VAT + 10% service + 1% provincial tax, and that sits on top of whatever the room rate turns out to be. A quoted price therefore reads lower than the amount that finally leaves the card, and comparing two hotels on headline rate alone understates the difference. Cancellation is a separate question: terms are Varies by rate offer rules, so the window depends on the rules attached to the rate that was booked rather than a single group-wide policy. That matters for a family trip, where a date shift is more likely than for a solo traveller, and it means the fee and cancellation rules should be read together on the same rate before paying anything. Neither figure depends on the guest count, but both apply to every booking made through the group.
The company behind it
The legal entity is SALA Hospitality Group, headquartered in Thailand. That is the name that appears against a booking, which matters more for a hotel than for a connectivity kit because the room, the check-in and any on-site problem all sit with the property. Support runs on email and phone, so a family can call or write before arrival and again on site. There is no live chat listed, which is the norm for a hotel operator rather than an online travel platform, and it means a question sent late in the evening waits for the morning. The product range is narrow by design: hotels, with no flights, transfers or excursions bundled in, so anything beyond the room is arranged separately.
How SALA Hospitality Group compares
Frequently asked questions
What booking fees does SALA Hospitality Group charge?+
The booking fee is 7% VAT + 10% service + 1% provincial tax. It is applied on top of the room rate, so the price shown before payment is not the final amount. Families comparing properties should add it to each quote before deciding, since a lower room rate can still cost more once the fee is counted.
What are the cancellation terms on a booking?+
Terms are Varies by rate offer rules, which means the rules depend on the rate offer chosen rather than one fixed window for every booking. Read the conditions attached to the specific rate before paying, especially if dates may move, because the applicable window changes with the offer.
Who is the company behind the booking?+
The booking is taken by SALA Hospitality Group, which is based in Thailand. Since the group sells hotels as its product, that named entity is the party responsible for the room, the check-in and anything that goes wrong on site.
How can I contact SALA Hospitality Group?+
Support runs on email and phone, so email and phone are both available. There is no live chat listed, which suits questions about a stay before or during it, but a late message will wait until the next working day rather than getting an instant reply.
Can I book a flight or a tour along with the hotel?+
Hotels are the only product listed, so flights, transfers and excursions are not bundled. Travellers who want air and a room in one basket should look at Emirates, which covers flights, hotels and tours, or Čedok, which offers flights, packages and tours.
Is this suitable for a family trip?+
It suits a family booking a hotel stay, with phone and email support available through email and phone if plans change. Rooms, not packages, are the product, so any flight or day trip is arranged on the side. The fee of 7% VAT + 10% service + 1% provincial tax is worth adding to the room rate when comparing options.
Does SALA Hospitality Group run fixed promotion offers?+
The group does not advertise a single standing discount. What varies is the rate offer attached to a booking, and those rules also decide cancellation, which is Varies by rate offer rules. Value therefore depends on which rate is available on the booking date rather than on a permanent sale.
How does SALA Hospitality Group compare with a broad travel site?+
The range is narrow: hotels only, against flights, hotels and tours at Emirates and packages, tours and cruise at Intrepid Travel. A group that just needs a bed gets a focused booking, while a family putting together a whole trip will need a wider catalogue elsewhere.
