Can a hotel booking API show whether breakfast is included before I book?

Yes, a hotel booking API can show whether breakfast is included before your agency confirms the reservation. The information normally comes with each room and rate option, so two offers for the same room may have different meal conditions. One may include breakfast for every guest, while another may include no meals or apply different conditions for children.

glideFares can pass the available meal details into the booking journey so your staff or customers can compare the options before choosing. The exact wording and level of detail depend on what the hotel supplier sends through the API. Some suppliers identify a clear meal plan, while others provide only a short rate description, so it may not always be possible to show the breakfast venue, serving times, menu, or whether drinks are included.

Meal details should also be checked again on the final review page and in the booking confirmation, because the selected rate is what controls the inclusion. Special arrangements, such as early breakfast, dietary needs, room service, or meals for an extra guest, are not automatically guaranteed unless the supplier confirms them. Before selling the stay, check the meal information attached to the chosen room and rate, and ask glideFares which hotel suppliers and display fields are available on your plan.
