Compare prices from search engines. Not always, but often can vary by tens of percent. Search for hotel reviews. Mostly on Tripadvisor, but search engines also have their own customer reviews, or you can find them in discussion forums. Just enter the hotel name into the internet search engine. From the hotel chamonix this is important now.
Find a hotel on satellite maps
Do not just rely on the description on the hotel website or at the dealership. Three stars may not be the same everywhere. General assessment varies by region. Somewhere there are two-star apartments at the level of three or four-star hotels in another region of the world.
- The advantage is that most of the apartments or villas are fully equipped including kitchen, washing machine, dishwasher and basic equipment including towels. However, the price does not include cleaning during the stay, or it is at extra cost. And for shorter stays less than a week, there is often a final cleaning fee, which can climb up to two thousand dollars. However, these conditions vary greatly from region to region.
- Searching is the same as on hotel portals, including frequent user reviews and the vast majority of photos. However, only some of them can immediately book the apartment, usually, it is property managed by the operator. For private it is necessary to contact the owner. Although it is a form of this, knowledge of English or other world languages is necessary. A snag can also occur when playing. In some cases mostly private owners it is not possible to use a credit card and it is necessary to transfer the money in advance to a foreign bank account. It can be unnecessarily expensive for many banks.
- If you do not want to individually cater to your holiday, it is good to look for hotels through German or British travel agencies. Most of the usual booking systems often offer only stays with breakfast only. On the other hand, in the offer of German and British travel agencies, the same hotels are also available with half board, full board or all-inclusive. Prices are not very different.
An example is a one-week stay at a 3-star hotel on the coast. Despite hotel search engines cost a seven-day stay for two people in August, converted to approximately 19000 dollars without boarding. Despite German travel agencies, the same stay can be purchased for 21000 dollars but already with full board. Half-board or all-inclusive variants are also available. A surcharge of just 1,000 per person per week for a full board is certainly worth it. An additional approximately 1,500 per person is then charged for the all-inclusive. Choosing the right hotel or guesthouse for your holiday is important.
Poor accommodation
German travel agencies, in particular, show the price per person, while the usual hotel portals only show prices for the entire room. German portals are then almost exclusively in German, but there are also resellers that have websites in your country. Some travel companies have time to confirm, and no booking is made by clicking on them. Moreover, in some cases, they require payment by bank transfer, which is again impractical.
