One of the website that you can use to book hotel is
hostelbookers.com.
According to my experience, this site is working so well. It is very
easy to use it. We can search the desired hotel all around the world.
And to book a hotel, you only need to have a credit card. But they will
not charge the rate of the hotel on your credit card. This credit card
is needed just in case the customer does not show up on the date that he
or she suppose to check in. Or if the customer make late cancellation.
But for the real cost, you can pay direct to the hotel where you stay.
I used this
hostelbookers.com few times. And so far, I never have problem with
my booking. And I will continue to use this site when I need to book
hotel.
But I hope that they can add more hotel on their lists, especially
hotels in Asia. There are not many hotel choices for Asian region at
this time. But for USA and Europe, they have plenty hotels with great
discount prices as well.
Or Norway, Spain, Portugal, Turkey or even the UK come to that. Fancy
something a little more exotic - like Africa or the Americas, well you
could possibly do a lot worse than visiting this site.
hostelbookers.com has
been around for quite a few years (1996), initially designed
specifically for hotels in the Netherlands. During that period, its
facility has become more sophisticated and expanded its beady eye to
cover hotels throughout the world, although having not tried any other
locations I can only vouch for Amsterdam at the moment.
I am sure however, with my wanderlust it will only be a matter of time.
You can search in English, Portuguese,
It apparently has a hotel database of 16,000 outlets ranging from
decadent 5 star luxury to holes in the ground at affordable prices,
although after what we paid for our 4 star luxury, don't give up without
a fight. The site allows you to search for hotels all across world,
allowing you to select a City or a region - you then get to chose a
class of hotel:
4 & 5 Stars
3 & 4 Stars
2 & 3 Stars
1 & 2 Stars
And lastly, but certainly not least, input the dates you want to travel
- travel can ONLY be booked up to 360 days in advance - long enough for
most of I guess, and therefore no year is required on the site (less
maintenance).BEFORE YOU PRESS THAT SUBMIT BUTTON, MAKE SURE THE SPECIAL
OFFERS BUTTON IS CHECKED
from this, you will then receive a list in reverse star order
identifying the number of hotels available for your chosen dates, and
how many hotels were actually searched. If you are looking to travel in
winter, i.e. November - February, you WILL be assured of some very good
deals.
