How To Book Or Reserve A Resort, Guesthouse Or Hotel
One of the most frustrating things about traveling is not getting the room you want – especially when you need one right now! (And especially when you’re dead tired after being on trains, planes and automobiles all day!)
Here’s a way that is 100 percent guaranteed to get you your room, not to mention save you hoping to get lucky.
1. Click here and search for LOCATION and guesthouse on the Lonely Planet website. (Or just search for GUESTHOUSE). You’ll get a list of guesthouses available in ANY location, including how much a room costs per night and reviews of each place.
2. Refine Your Search by looking at the reviews (quality of the guesthouse, for example, Internet, free breakfast, cleanliness etc), what particular price you are budgeting for.
3. Be Flexible About The Choices. The trick to getting your room is that you need to A) be flexible about choosing different guesthouses, and B) try different dates if you are not finding the right room come up.
4. Lock In Your Room. As an example, I plugged in my travel dates and had to move things around a bit, trying different guesthouses until one came up at the right price. Once you find your chosen room/guesthouse immediately book your spot. With this site you only need to make the deposit – you pay the rest when you’re actually there.
That’s the process in a nutshell. By booking (and paying by debit/credit card or Paypal) you’re issued with a booking number and details (including map and directions from the airport) to your guesthouse. Print that out and you’re done. Your room is locked in and your name is on it!
