Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, asking about what is included in a price is considered a sign of thoroughness, not rudeness. Use the formal ‘¿Está incluido…?’ when speaking with hotel staff, travel agents, or any service provider you do not know well. In more casual settings (e.g., with a friend’s Airbnb host) you can drop the formal tone and say ‘¿El servicio está incluido?’
