Did I put wrong rules into robots.txt?

I have a hotel named "Paradores Del Castillo".

Each of the hotels has two URLs.

URL# 1 - www(DOT)philbooking(DOT)com/hotels/philippines/batangas/paradores-del-castillo

URL#2 - www(DOT)philbooking(DOT)com/hotel-information/philippines/batangas/paradores-del-castillo 


Okay, URL#1 is a Static Link, while URL#2 will provide a dynamic link if you copy, pasted and replace the (DOT) with . in the address bar of your browser.

I`ve use fetch as google to index URL#1 and in my robots.txt, I put these things for the URL#2 not to be index.

Robots.txt
Disallow: /hotel-information/
Disallow: /?identify_page=
Disallow: / & hotelid=
Disallow: / & promo_id=
Disallow: / & roomtype_id=
Disallow: / & check_in=
Disallow: / & check_out=
Disallow: / & rooms=

Now, as you can see in the image, URL# 2 is indexed in Google Philippines.

Question: Is my robot arguments are wrong?

BTW: In my sitemap, I only put static links like URL#1. And I did not put with /hotel-information/ or same as URL#2 because my boss do not want it to be index.
