Wherever and whenever we travel, actually we purchase time
for that destination, by air or train tickets, hotels, insurance and visa. On
that purchased time, we again spend to utilize the same. like sight seeing,
food, marketing and so on. I just want to emphasize, time is equally, and if
not more valuable than the money. Hotel booking is very vital step for any
tour. For foreign tours, application of visa requires hotel booking receipt.
Nowadays with so many online sites it is possible to book now and pay later.
From my experience, I will suggest book as early as possible and keep a
separate note and finally cancel keeping only those you ultimately you stay. If
you book from different site kindly keep track of all and it may so happen that
your card will be charged for those you booked and did not cancel in time.
Booking early is important as most good reviewed hotel usually get booked as
early as 6 months before.
When booking hotel or any accommodation, you must know what
is your plan there. You should not spend lot of time for commuting and spend
few bucks in hotel. Time is more valuable as I have said earlier. Almost all
hotels' review are available in the internet. Go through those. tripadvisor
reviews are very close to reality. See the photos of travellers. Carefully see
the maps around and transport available. Open your uber app and see whether
Uber is available in that area or not? See the fares of different locations
from that hotel. These are the simple things I do when I book accommodation and
for me it worked till date.
Same hotel price vary in different websites and on different
days. Better not to book non refundable at an early date just for the sake of
low price.
We booked all our hotels online almost immediately after the
flight booking and changed many times before finalizing. Pay at hotel is good
option, otherwise credit card payment few days before check in works well.
Always see the cancellation policy before booking.
