How much safe and reliable is to book a hotel online ?

You can consider the major famous booking sites as “safe”. My friends and I, have all had problem free experiences. With the ones I have used your card is only debited when you pay at the hotel (though the booking site has taken your c.c. – so you can be charged if you don’t turn up).

The majority of bookings will be problem free (however with many millions of bookings there are bound to be some unhappy customers).

Things to look out for:

Cancellation:

You may wish to cancel your booking due to illness or transport disruption (e.g. volcanic ash) etc. Some rates offered may be fully non-refundable (hopefully the site will clearly identify this). So if refunds and cancellation policy are important to you – check the appropriate terms and conditions for the booking on the web-site.

Overbooking:

Note this applies whether booking online, via travel agent, or direct with the hotel/chain. Many hotels/chains employ sophisticated calculations and allow their rooms to be overbooked, on the basis of no shows (see this statement by a UK hotel chain http://www.travelodge.co.uk/help/index.php?categor... "Like almost all other hotel companies, we overbook some of our hotels" and "On rare occasions, it may become necessary for us to outbook you and find you suitable alternative accommodation in the local area".) It’s rare, and is down to the hotel, it makes no difference whether you booked with a website booking company, travel agent or direct with the hotel.

Who to use:

http://hotels.via.us.com/ It will search 33 major and reputable booking sites (Priceline.com Expedia, Laterooms, Hotels.com etc) and hotel chains for you. It will list available hotels (with maps, pics and reviews) and the different prices offered by the various booking sites.

You click on the deal you want and are taken to the Hotel Chain or Booking Sites own website to book or check out more info. There is no add on to the price for this service.

Another advantage is that because it searches/compares all these sites, you have a wider choice of hotels, and click through access to all the booking sites customer reviews for your selected hotel.

We believe this is the best hotel price comparison/search engine on the net, and are proud to have licensed it for our site.
