At a few thousand Euro each instance, vs., say, EUR50k to EUR500k for a full re-specification and implementation of all hotel security systems, that's a bargain price.
(Of course, they're also a piggy bank every time the hackers need cash.)
(This assumes the hackers aren't, say, hotel management or employees skimming the operation themselves via hack threats, say, for money laundering purposes.)

No they dont need to rebuild it. Just get the original developer to fix it if its a problem with the system. Or secure their network. Neither will cost anywhere near 50k.
