Posted by John Smith on April 9th, 2019

Travel today is much simpler thanks to the Internet, among the many advantages it offers to travelers, is the possibility of making a reservation from the computer.

Online hotel booking is very common but you should keep in mind some of these tips to avoid surprises when you arrive at the hotel.
The only problem is that there are many pages and search engines to book online and not all are the same, some more serious and safer than others, so in this article, we will recommend some of the best tips.

Beware of offers:

Hotel booking website uses a very poor marketing strategy where the lowest value of a tour package is promoted, but you have to read the small letters of the conditions, that when arriving you do not find a surprise like that the room, in reality, does not have the services that you thought you had hired.

When entering into cheap hotel booking sites, what you have to do is use the filters to sort the hotels from lowest to highest price and effectively find a hotel at the advertised price but only for the range of dates that they tell you, pay attention.

Read the recommendations/reviews of other guests:

At the time of online flight booking, a serious hotel search should have the possibility to leave comments of the guests who stayed in the hotel, these recommendations are very important and it is better to pay attention to them, if someone who already visited the hotel you are looking for and had a negative experience is possible, the same thing happens to you.

Attentive to conditions:

When you buy a tour package + flight or hotel offer or similar you have to read the conditions as it is likely that there is no refund and even charge a penalty called "No show" which is nothing more or nothing less than, keep in mind that the contingencies exist, your flight can be delayed and the cost will be deducted from the credit card (that is why you can only pay by credit card in the pages to book hotels and flights).

Do not take anything for granted:

In online hotel booking, the worst mistake is to believe that the hotel has X service, for that is the description on the page where you book the hotel, if you need WiFi in your room make sure that the description clarifies it and if it only says "WiFi" then send a query because It is likely that there is only WiFi in the common hall.
