A good hotel is a different concept for different categories of tourists. To find a really good place to stay in another country, you need to consider a few simple guidelines.
Compare reviews
Hotel reviews can be sorted and compared from three main sources: travel agents, the internet, and experienced acquaintances. If a tourist purchases a voucher through a travel agency, it is convenient to use the travel agent's recommendations. Many travel agency managers have already visited those resorts and hotels in which they specialize, and can relatively successfully advise this or that hotel to a specific client. However, a lot depends on the competence of the travel agent and his veracity in this case, because in order to make more sales, a travel agency employee can cheat a little, pretending to be a lot of experience. Therefore, it is worth comparing the travel agent's story with reviews on the Internet.
The most reliable way to find out reliable information about a hotel is to listen to reviews from real friends who have already visited a particular place.
Online hotel reviews are as helpful as raw and largely subjective. When reading the stories of tourists about the rest in a particular hotel, several factors must be taken into account.
First, people are more likely to write negative reviews than positive ones. Thus, a satisfied tourist is much less likely to go to TripAdvisor to write about "the most luxurious hotel in the world." A person who is outraged by the quality of hotel service wants to throw out his emotions, therefore he is more likely to use special review sites.
Secondly, some of the reviews - both positive and negative - can be ordered by the hoteliers themselves or their competitors. You should be very careful to collect information about hotels on review sites.
A clear understanding of the goals of your trip
Each hotel has its own character, its own set of services and is intended for a certain category of tourists. Before the trip, you should decide which specific features of the hotel are most important. So, if a traveler wants to enjoy the sea beach as much as possible, you need to choose a hotel on the first coastal line.
If a tourist craves a truly high level of service, you should not choose 2-3-star hotels, and it is also better to contact only international hoteliers - Hilton, Mariott, Movenpick, etc.
Traveling families need to make sure that the hotel rooms have the ability to accommodate, for example, a child in a separate bed. You also need to pay attention to the location of the hotel and the main contingent: a neighborhood with noisy companies of young party-goers or a nearby open-air nightclub will surely ruin a family vacation.
