Booking a hotel is a very important part of traveling, and sometimes we tend to overlook some details, resulting in a poor stay experience. In this article, I will share with you some 5 details that you need to pay attention to when booking a hotel, hoping to help you enjoy a better stay during your trip.
When booking a hotel, we tend to focus only on the size and floor of the room, and ignore the most important detail - whether there are windows or not. Some hotels will provide rooms without windows, although it may be cheaper, but such rooms are not ventilated and are prone to bacterial growth, which has a great impact on health. In addition, a room without windows can also make the check-in experience worse, and you will not be able to feel the light and weather changes outside. Therefore, be sure to pay attention to the presence of windows when booking.
Addendum: As a frequent traveler on the go, I personally attach great importance to having a room with or without windows. A room with a window allows me to get away from the enclosed space and feel the warmth of natural light and the fresh air outside. In addition, when you are bored, you can also stand in front of the window and enjoy the street view, which makes the trip more interesting and enriching.
Many people prefer to choose a hotel with breakfast included, which saves you the time and hassle of going out to find breakfast. However, when making a reservation, we tend to focus only on the availability of breakfast and ignore the quality and variety of breakfast. Some hotels offer breakfast, but the ingredients are so simple that it's hard to swallow. Therefore, before booking, you can understand the quality of the hotel's breakfast by checking the accommodation experience of other tourists and the ** of the breakfast, so as to avoid disappointment after staying.
Addendum: As a person who has high requirements for breakfast, I personally prefer to choose a hotel with a wide variety of breakfasts. Breakfast is an important part of the day, and a hearty and delicious breakfast can make me feel refreshed and energized to start the day. Therefore, when I book a hotel, I carefully study the reviews and ** of other tourists to make sure that the hotel breakfast I choose meets my tastes and expectations.
For those travelling by car, the availability of the parking lot provided by the hotel is a factor that must be considered. However, some people tend to ignore this when booking a hotel, resulting in having no place to park after arriving at the hotel and having to park their car far away, which not only wastes time but also adds unnecessary hassle. Therefore, it is best to contact the hotel front desk in advance before booking a hotel to find out the details such as the location, distance and availability of parking lots to ensure smooth parking.
Addendum: In my travel experience, I have encountered some cases where the hotel parking lot is far away and the availability is limited. Once, when I arrived at the hotel, I found that the parking lot was full and I had to wait for other vehicles to leave before entering. This situation is very delayed and scheduled, and the travel experience is greatly reduced. Therefore, when I book a hotel, I will communicate with the hotel front desk in advance to ensure the location, distance and available seats of the parking lot to avoid unnecessary trouble.
The location of the hotel was also a factor that we needed to pay special attention to when booking. In addition to having a comfortable stay, the location of the hotel should also be convenient for our itinerary. When booking, we not only look at the advertised distance of the hotel, but also look at the actual distance walked or driven through the navigation tool. Some hotels may seem close in a straight line, but in fact they need to bypass a lot of detours, which will bring a lot of inconvenience and trouble to our itinerary. Therefore, it is best to use walking and driving navigation to confirm the actual distance when booking a hotel.
Addendum: In my travel experience, I have encountered many troubles caused by the inconvenient location of the hotel. Once, I booked a hotel that was very close to a tourist attraction, but when I actually arrived at the hotel, I found that I had to take a lot of detours to get to my destination. Not only does this waste a lot of time, but it can also be confusing and lost. Therefore, when I book a hotel, I will use a combination of walking and driving navigation to determine the actual walking or driving distance to ensure a smooth and convenient trip.
When booking a hotel, we tend to focus only on the promotion and description of the hotel, ignoring the ratings and reviews of other tourists. In fact, ratings and reviews are the most reflective of a hotel**, and they give us a more complete picture of the quality of service and amenities of the hotel. Once I saw in the comment section that a tourist mentioned that the towels were old for the hotel I wanted to book, and although this defect was acceptable to me, I chose this hotel after all considerations. However, after checking in, I found that not only the towels were old, but many of the hotel's facilities were also old, and the worst thing was that the air conditioning didn't work at all. It was about 35 degrees Celsius, and the room couldn't cool down, so I couldn't sleep. Eventually we had to contact the front desk to change rooms, after three room changes it was slightly better, and the whole night was endured by the heat and the experience was very poor.
Therefore, ratings and reviews can help us get real experiences from other tourists and give us a better idea of what the hotel is actually like. When booking a hotel, I carefully read the reviews of other tourists, especially their evaluations and descriptions of room facilities, service quality and hygiene, in order to make a more accurate and informed choice.
To sum up, the above are the five details that need to be paid attention to when booking a hotel when traveling. Hopefully, these experiences and suggestions will help you to be more thoughtful and meticulous when booking a hotel, so as to improve the comfort and satisfaction of your trip.
