How to online booking hotel
When you’re on vacation, you shouldn’t have to spend all
your money on necessities, but as travel and lodging costs add up, your
vacation mad money goes plummeting. That can mean visiting fewer area
attractions, enjoying fewer sumptuous meals and bringing home fewer souvenirs.
One way to spend a little less is to limit what you're paying for hotels.
Make your hotel reservations online. The lowest room price
is almost always the one listed on the hotel’s website. You can often book the room online and get it at half the
quoted price.
Determine your budget
Before you look for a hotel
and make a reservation, you want to ensure the hotel will meet your budget and
your needs. You should first determine your budget, or how much you can spend,
when booking a hotel room. This will help you narrow down your search and be
efficient with the time you spend looking for a hotel and booking a room. There are many discount options available
for visitors on a budget.
The first step in booking a hotel room online is to know what
type of hotel is needed for the trip. The budget for the stay must be
determined and it is a good idea to know what type of amenities and facilities
are needed in the hotels before booking the hotels for the trip
Browse travel
website
Many trips and hotel bookings are now
purchased through commercial websites such as Expedia, Traveloka, Agoda, Hotels, Expedia and Skyscanner. Be sure to look around sites for the best deal and
don't forget to visit the hotel website itself.
These searches will allow you to
specify your planned days of travel, how many nights you require, your ideal
location, and your required amenities, if any. You can also specify how much
you are willing to spend on the hotel.
Identify your ideal location or area
Are you looking for a hotel that is close to a
work event or conference? Are you looking for a hotel that is close to a
specific tourist attraction? You may decide to stay in a location that is
central or downtown, which will allow you to access different parts of the city
easily.
·
If you
are traveling for business, you may decide to search for hotels that are close
to a work conference or meeting.
·
If you
are traveling for pleasure, look for hotels that are walking distance to a hot
spot, or hotels that offer packages that include car rentals so that you can
get around easily.
·
If you
have a target geographic area, punch in the address into Google maps. You can
zoom in to see exactly where it is as well as the surrounding area (the map
will tell you surrounding stores, restaurants, ), and you can take
advantage of Google's street view feature to see exactly what your hotel and
surround area look like.
Think required accommodations
during stay
Do you require enough room
for a family of four, or do you just need enough room for yourself? Consider
how big you would like the hotel room to be, including how many beds you
require and how many bathrooms.
·
If you are traveling with your
family, you may need two queen beds and one large bathroom.
·
If you are traveling solo, you may
just need one queen bed and one decently sized bathroom.
·
If you
require disability facilities, call the hotel to confirm if they are wheelchair
accessible or offer disability amenities.
·
If you
need a solid internet connection, look at hotels that offer free Wi-Fi as part
of the nightly rate.
·
If you
are traveling as a family or in a big group, you might want to consider booking
a suite with separate living area and bedroom so that the whole group can be
accommodated without space and privacy constraints.
Read the reviews
Check out consumer review sites like Tripadvisor and Booking.com which gathers and aggregates reviews of hotels by former
patrons. you can search for people most like and see what they had to say about
the hotel. Often, the reviews will speak to whatever attributes you're looking
for in a hotel and you can make better decisions based upon them.
Call ahead
Once you've targeted a hotel or whittled
your list to several hotels, be sure to call them and ask about your needs or
concerns. For example, you want to know how big the pool is and whether they
have a lifeguard on duty. Whatever your concerns, ask the concierge on the
phone so you can book with confidence.
Confirm the reservation
Call the
hotel a few weeks before your stay to confirm they have your reservation and to
confirm they have your special requests ( room away from noise).
Get it in writing
Ask for
written confirmation for all reservations. Almost all hotels will send you an
email confirmation of your reservation or will fax your confirmation if you
don't have email access. Be sure to bring a copy of your reservation when
checking in, just in case the hotel loses you in their system.
