How can a hotel make their business chargeback proof?

A hotel/accomodation can make their business chargeback proof by:

Enable 3DS/OTP on Your Account - By requesting to enable the 3D secure feature for their transactions

Verification at Check-In - As part of your daily operations,

  1. Request a photo ID that matches the cardholder's name (e.g., passport or driver’s license) and keep a copy on file
  2. Additionally, have the cardholder sign an authorisation form at check-in

These two documents are essential for winning a dispute if an 'unauthorised transaction' claim arises. This is a standard industry practice, and legitimate guests will understand its importance.
