net price ... hotel


Explanation:
Looks like they saved some money on their German copy writer.

"Netto" refers to the price and not the hotel, even if they screwed up the commas.
What they mean is: netto (inkl. aller Steuern und Abgaben)

See Michael Sieger's comment. Sorry, it looks like I was a little too quick with my answer...

Here is a logical sounding answer from the wer-weiss-was forum.

Re: Was heißt Hotel netto?
(Autor: t а ѕ һ a, 1.9.2009 12:51 Uhr)

hallo...

preis netto hotel bedeutet, daß keine kommission inkludiert ist. es ist ein hinweis für agenturen und reiseveranstalter, daß sie von der rate nichts abbekommen (oft ist es üblich, daß 8-10% eingerechnet werden, die man als agentur für die vermittlung behält und so den einkaufspreis weitergibt...).

für privatleute ist dieser hinweis irrelevant... hat auch nichts mit steuern zu tun, keine sorge...

Does that help?
viele grüße

neutral  Michael Sieger: "netto" means _without_ taxes, but the sentence states that taxes are included
