Booking site appraisals and Notes
As early as in 2003 I fell in love with this quick and easy online booking service, traveled in Europe are relied on.
In fact, from the earliest booking sites had been set up around de 2000 to the present has been developed for almost 10 years, the competition's website has a lot of technology is better and better. Of course, know that some people experience unpleasant place (heard too fast but the room charge does not provide that), but, according to a 520-person backpack Inn survey data show that 59% of people experience is good, 34 % is not used, but would like to try, and only 4% are used are not satisfied.
In fact, some has been established for almost 10 years abroad, booking major stations are basically trustworthy, but most of them are doing business travelers around the world, booking processes, and customer service processing is also relatively perfect. Today the number of reliable and reputable, the price is good, the global characteristics of a large booking sites to compare order for your reference: The following Web site visitors rating be higher:

※ Note 1: Agoda Although the surcharge fee, but their Thai hotel prices, combined with fee, usually still cheaper than others.
※ Note 2: Asia, hotel accommodation, but also to invite Taiwan's travel agencies for reference, and sometimes it would be more expensive here in Taiwan.
Other well-known global reservation network, I do not consider reasons:
● hotelclub: If it is popular hotels, this site will be lost to other stations parity, but unknown hotel, prices are very cheap, but it was unclear travelers and hotel-quality evaluation, there is the possibility to live in mine hostels do not pay attention to word of mouth for the passengers. However, it has a last-minute offer of services (that is known as the Sub RATESTOGO website), suitable for backpackers to save money.
● hotels.com, extra fee income, plus fees, the price ratio often lost to someone else.
● hostelworld, Now I do not consider the youth hostel.
● GTAHotels, specializing in discount hotels, the price is full of cheap, but also visitors rating, hotel quality, unclear and not suitable for User-oriented reputation of travelers.
To remind
Internet booking to pay attention to place:
● Even with a booking site, but the elimination of provisions Gejia hotels set their own:
The above identified Web sites do not charge fees, booking, change, are not an additional cost. But the abolition of the rule is necessary depending on the various hotels and different (a few hotels even offer a limited set of provisions does not cancel). Read carefully when booking the hotel's cancellation provisions, most of the week before the arrival date no cancellation fee; did not notice cancellation but it is certainly no reason not to live in a full room rate will be allotted. That is why the first booking to the credit card numbers reasons.
● Even with a booking site, but credit cards will first be charged a Gejia hotels set their own
Most hotels online booking, do not require an advance fee, just give the card number as a guarantee, so check out until payment in full (some of which also required the use of credit card booking fee affiliation). But there are a few special hotels, booking will start with credit card deduction part of the deposit. These will be written on the hotel reservation instructions.
● to refer to travelers rating (Reviews), must not be done by just decided to stay at the price.
Of course, there are really false evaluation; is usually greater the number of evaluations, the higher reference value.
● Even if the receipt of a formal booking confirmation number to complete, if not received, can be written to the respective customer sites to confirm booking. Booking completed, it is necessary to ensure full compliance to lift the ban, do not take their hard-earned fun.
