What we Expect

All hotels that request a Chocolate Pillow Review are required to accept these criteria prior to the review being carried out.
Accommodation
Subsistence is required for all Accommodation whilst conducting a review. Where possible, accommodation is required to be provided in a double bedded en-suite room on a Dinner, Bed and Breakfast basis, free of charge.
Travel
Travel expenses are required to be paid at the below minimums:
For travel by car:
- Charge of 50p per mile
- Full cost of car hire (should the need arise)
For travel by train/flight:
- Full reimbursement of ticket cost
Please note that the cheapest of all above options will be preferred in all cases, where accessible. In the case of remote locations, where car hire is required, the cost will be the full car hire cost, however where petrol is included in the hire cost, per mile charges will not be raised for the first tank of petrol.
Expenses
It is expected that services used within the hotel be provided free of charge throughout the stay.
It is generally acceptable for credit limits to be imposed and these will be agreed prior to arrival. This will only cover expenses incurred whilst in the course of undertaking the review.
Any external expenses that are incurred as a direct result of undertaking the review are to be reimbursed by the hotel. Such expenses are to be claimed with receipts prior to departure from the hotel however these external expenses are to be avoided where possible.
