In the era of the universal Internet, booking a hotel anywhere in the world is not difficult, and the procedure does not require special skills. Unless a minimal knowledge of English sometimes does not hurt. You can make a reservation using the hotel's website or various international systems, where guest houses, hostels and apartments are presented around the world.
It is necessary
- - a computer;
- - access to the Internet;
- - email address;
- - bank card, if a pre-payment is a prerequisite for booking;
- - telephone.
Instructions
Step 1
When using the booking system, before proceeding with the selection of a hotel, carefully study the conditions. Do not hesitate to check with the system staff by e-mail or phone about all unclear points.
Step 2
If you need a hotel reservation for a visa, do not be lazy to ask the consulate of the country of interest for all the requirements for booking confirmation. Check if the system itself can provide you with a document that meets your requests when the information about your booking arrives at the hotel.
If you book a room directly at the hotel, clarify all questions related to booking confirmation and prepayment from its employees by contacting them by e-mail or phone.
Step 3
If the hotel belongs to a particular chain, and you did not find understanding at the level of individual employees of a particular hotel (they ignore e-mail requests, do not want to confirm a reservation, etc.), contact the network administration. This is often effective.
Step 4
If the website of the selected hotel has an online booking form, it is best to use it.
Minimum information: names of residents, dates for which the room is needed and requirements for it (number of seats, standard or suite, additional services, etc.). In some cases, passport and plastic card details may also be required.
Some hotels immediately write off the prepayment from the card, others block the cost of living on it. There are those where the map data is needed just for information.
Once your booking is complete, please wait for confirmation by email or phone.
If you need confirmation for a visa, please contact the administration on this matter.
Step 5
If there is no online booking form, you can send a booking request by e-mail or fax, as well as call and reserve a room, subject to availability.
