Whether you are travelling for business or leisure, online hotel booking has become the norm for majority of guests. However, the relative ease and convenience of this arrangement comes along with its fair set of challenges. The latest today hospitality news shows that there are some common online hotel booking mistakes which can cost you time and money:
1. Wrong arrival and departure dates
When doing your hotel bookings online, the hotel technology allows you to select your arrival and departure dates. A problem usually arises if your destination is in a massively different time zone such that there is a huge disparity in the date and time between your country of origin and that of your destination. This requires you to be extra careful when choosing the arrival date and departure date.
2. Misleading location
Many hotel websites give a general idea of the location of the establishment. They can use expressions such as ‘in the heart of downtown XYZ’. At times, these descriptions of the location can be quite misleading hence it would be advisable for you to check Google Maps for an accurate location.
3. Failure to consider resort fees
Some hotels charge separately for certain amenities such as WiFi or even cleaning and laundry services. This means that you should be keen to inspect the fine print before booking a hotel or else you might be surprised to get a higher bill than expected at the end of the trip.
