How To Book A Hotel?

We have prepared for you a detailed guide on how to book a hotel. When booking a hotel, you have two options to book. Directly on the hotel page or use the Booking system. We will focus on the second option because it is more advantageous in every respect from the point of view of the booker.

Why Is The Reservation Through Booking More Advantageous?

The Widest And Most Current Accommodation Offer

2,600,000 accommodation options worldwide! Today, you will hardly find a hotel or a guest house that is not on Booking. The only exceptions may be the super-luxurious hotels and resorts of the Aman brand or the most expensive resort The Brando on a private island in French Polynesia. Everyone else is on Booking, including the only seven-star hotel in the world, , the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah in Dubai.

Keenly Prices And Exclusive Discounts.

A great number of hotels, apartments, and other types of accommodation forces providers to compete not only with quality but also with price. You cannot book accommodation cheaper anywhere than on Booking and it often happens that the price on hotel websites is even higher than what Booking currently offers. Furthermore, Booking offers the Genius discount program, which allows you to reduce already favourable prices by up to 20 percent and offers the option of free room upgrades and other benefits.
After the first reservation, Booking will also start sending you discount coupons for the next reservation, which can reduce the reservation price by up to 100 EUR.

User Reviews And Ratings

Authentic reviews of hotels and accommodations, where reviews can only be given by clients who have actually stayed at the given accommodation or hotel. You have the option to filter accommodations by rating and not waste time with lower-rated hotels.

Flexible Reservation Options

The possibility of free cancellation of the reservation on a certain date. Many offers on Booking include free cancellation of the reservation, giving you flexibility if your plans change. Conversely, an immediate confirmation of the last-minute booking gives you the assurance that the hotel is waiting for you and counting on you.
If you create a Booking account at the same time as your first reservation, you will have all your past and future reservations stored in one place.

How To Book A Hotel?

Searching For Accommodation

  • Enter a destination: On the home page, Booking.com enter a city, a specific hotel or an interesting historical sight.
  • Choose the dates of your stay: Choose the dates of your arrival and departure. This allows you to see the hotel availability and prices for specific dates.
  • Number of people: Enter the number of people staying at the hotel and the number of rooms you need. If you are travelling with children, you must enter their age. Pokud cestujete s dětmi, musíte zadat jejich věk.
  • Don't you want to stay in a hotel? Then you can check ¨I'm looking for a whole house or apartment¨ and you can go through only these accommodations.

Filtering The Results

  • Adjust your search: Use the filters on the results page to narrow your selection based on your preferences – you can choose by price, rating, location, accommodation type, facilities, and other criteria.
  • See results on a map: You can see the search results on the map. If you book from a computer, the map tab is on the top left corner, if you book from a phone, it is on the right. You have the option to choose accommodation close to the beach, in the city centre, or perhaps near a park if you are travelling with a dog.
  • Read the reviews: Read the reviews from other guests who have already stayed at the hotel or the apartment. This will give you a better idea of the quality of the accommodation and its services. Keep in mind that people tend to remember their vacation in a good way, so if a hotel has a bad rating, the reality will be even worse. Better ignore accommodation with a rating below 7.

Choosing The Room And Type Of Reservation

  • Choosing a room in a hotel: If you book a hotel or a guesthouse, pay attention to choosing a room. Check the photos of the rooms because the hotel photos usually show the most expensive rooms. Check if you have a room with a view of the street or the courtyard. How many and what kind of beds there are in the room is especially important when you book accommodation for the whole family.
  • Bedroom in an apartment or house: : If you book an entire apartment or house, check the number of bedrooms and the type of beds. Some apartments offer 6 sleeping places, but in reality, 4 of them are on sofa beds.
  • Select the type of board: Check if your room price includes breakfast or dinner and if not, check the price per person.
  • Booking price: The final booking price may also be affected by the period during which you can cancel the booking for free. The longer the time, the higher the price. You will get the lowest price if you give up the option of early booking and pay for the room directly.
  • Try a different date: When you are already on the hotel page and choosing a room, you have the option to click on the date of your reservation and Booking will show you the prices for the previous and following days; changing the date by a few days can sometimes significantly change the price of accommodation.

Accommodation Conditions

  • Accommodation conditions: Before paying for the accommodation, carefully read the accommodation conditions, which you can find at the bottom of the page, after the list of hotel facilities. These are mainly the arrival and departure times, prices and fees charged beyond the scope of your room, accommodation and children's ages, the possibility of extra beds or the possibility of bringing a dog.

Reservation

  • The reservation itself consists of two steps.
  • Step one: Enter your personal details, check, that you have entered your phone and email correctly and select the estimated time of your arrival. Also, you have the option to write your requirements or questions directly to the accommodation provider. They will respond to you after sending the reservation.
  • Step two: Enter your payment card number if it is required. In some cases, you have the choice of paying directly through Booking or leaving the payment up to the hotel.
  • Save your reservation number and PIN after the payment. Check your email that you have received the confirmation, and you are successfully booked :)
  • When you arrive at the hotel, all you need is your name and your reservation number..
