Fake Reservation at Playa de Palma: How Hotels Can Protect Their Receptions

Answer

Why is Mallorca’s summer season a higher-risk time for hotel fraud?

In Mallorca, hot weather and constant turnover can make it easier for a forged confirmation to pass unnoticed. Fraud is harder to spot when staff are trying to keep check-ins moving quickly.
