Tips: Prevention and Checks Before Booking Any Hotel



Today we are living in internet era and most of the things are possible online whether buying phone or travel ticket or booking hotel. Here I would like to share some tips related to the precautions before booking any hotel online. This is a thing which in reality makes much convenience before going any place for travel, business or official purpose. But as cons a bad hospitality or hotel service could also spoil our trip and money both.

Here I have some good and bad experiences with online hotel bookings and would like to share some tips before booking any hotel online. I will not say by following all these tips you could get definitely a best trip, but I could assure you that there are very less chances to be scammed and get a bad deal.

If you can get any review from your any real life colleague or friend, for any known hotel by him, then get it first before any kind of online booking. Ask him about the services, quality of services and also the price , they had been charged during their visit. This will help you in deciding for the booking.
•If you are going to book any hotel online, check on google about the hotel reviews using its name. You can also go to expedia.com or agoda.com or like these websites for getting the original reviews by the genuine guests stayed there. This will help you a lot for decision making.
•If you are not getting any review online for any hotel. There is a risk of bad service also, but this is not sure, they can also provide good value for money. Only risk is high for you there.
•Do not trust on testimonials or reviews on hotel websites for taking your decisions. They are managed by hotel staffs. Only trusted third party’s reviews must be considered.
•Compare prices also with other hotels on well known websites for your selected hotel and if you get a good deal only then book this for you. 
•Initially you can book for lesser days if you are suspicious and then could extend that later.
•You can call also hotel staff for the quality of services and their response will also indicate your many things and the quality of services they could provide you.

I hope these tips could help you somewhat while you are making any travelling plan. Some initial prevention can make your journey full of joy. Happy Journey.
