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

Answer

What should a Mallorca hotel receptionist do if a reservation looks suspicious?

The safest response is to pause the check-in and verify the reservation through a second channel. That can mean checking the reference number, calling the intermediary, or asking for ID if the booking details do not fit. A calm, standardised procedure helps avoid both fraud and unnecessary conflict with honest guests.
