No, hotels are not more expensive on Staze because we give you access to the hotel’s corporate rates. This makes our rates cheaper, or comparable, to other online booking platforms like booking.com.

We are always improving our reporting materials to make Staze as useful as possible for your business. Here are the standard reports we offer on a monthly basis:

• Summary company report

• Raw hotel booking data that is both useful from a carbon and financial account perspective

• Offsetting certificate

If you are interested in specific reports or content to share, let your account manager know.

We use local benchmarks from government sources for 232 cities and 39 countries to calculate the carbon footprint of staying in any given city. This figure is compared with the actual carbon footprint of the booking to calculate emissions reductions.

The cancellation policy on bookings varies from hotel to hotel. You can see the specific cancellation policy of a hotel room on the hotel listing page. Many hotel listings on Staze offer flexible cancellation policies that let you cancel until the last minute.

Our customer support team is here to help via email (info@staze.com) or via chat support on your booking page.

We can make changes to bookings up until the free cancellation date. After that, there may be a cost to change bookings.

Yes! When you check in you can still get your points for the stay added to your hotel’s account.

You can set your account to be in AUD, CAD, EUR, GBP, JPY, NOK, NZD, SGD, and USD.

No, not all of our 450,000 hotels have a low carbon footprint. We understand that particularly for business travel, price and convenience play a key role when making a decision about where to stay. That’s why we show you all hotels while encouraging you to make a greener choice whenever possible.

We offset your hotel bookings with 4 high quality projects that align to the Oxford Principles for Net Zero Aligned Carbon Offsetting and are third-party verified. You can read more about our offsetting projects here.

We will calculate and offset the specific carbon footprint for the hotel you book. If we do not have carbon footprint data for a hotel, we will offset the average carbon footprint for a hotel in the city you are staying in.

Staze builds on official guidance from the GHG Protocol to calculate hotel emissions from business travel. In order to achieve market-leading accuracy, we calculate a hotel emission factor for each individual hotel as opposed to using a single hotel emission average.

Research shows that 75% of the carbon footprint of staying at a hotel comes from energy usage. We therefore firstly look at the total energy consumption of hotels and which types of energy they use. This is matched to 8 other data points including the occupancy of the hotel, the location type and the number of rooms in the hotel to give a clear picture of the environmental impact of staying in any given hotel.

Our model adheres to the highest standards of the TCFD principles on effective disclosure so you can rest assured that our approach is reliable, verifiable and objective. When it comes to reporting on your carbon footprint, we can share a detailed list of assumptions and sources and workings. Get in touch with us if you require that.

When it comes to action in sustainability, the most important things a hotel can do are set a science-based reduction target and reduce their absolute carbon footprint. We make it easy for you to see and choose these hotels. A hotel can have an eco certification but not have set a science-based reduction target or have actually reduced their carbon footprint, which is why we do not show eco certifications.

Three of our projects are certified by VERRA or the Gold Standard. Charm Industrial is not yet third party verified because of the long term R&D nature of the project which we think is important to a mixed portfolio of offsetting projects. However, they do have a good pathway towards being certified either by a governmental regulatory body or a voluntary standard in the next 2-3 years. You can read more about their approach to becoming the most transparent removals company, here.

Yes, each year your company will receive a certificate confirming where and how your hotel emissions have been offset.
