  • will try , the owner doesnt understand english very well and i dont speak spanish so will give it a go again thanks
  • Chances are it will not have been paid for, take a credit card with you just in case. I take it you have travel insurance? You'll need to contact them if you need to get your money back.

    unless you paid extra for your travel insurance you wont be covered for LCH going bust
    you need to phone hotel again because your booking will be cancelled

    I'd be amazed if a property owner who works with incoming tourism in Majorca didn't speak English - I think you're being fobbed off.

    That's all well and good but I suspect the OP doesn't want to turn up and find the accommodation has been cancelled and re-sold with little or no alternatives available.

    The OP needs to keep trying to communicate with the hotel in the hope of getting confirmation one way or another (which is what they're trying to do)
    Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
