Booking.com is a service for booking apartments, hotels and other accommodation via the Internet. A vacation rental is an important part of any trip. When it comes to booking a hotel room, apartment or other type of accommodation on your own trip, booking.com is the first website that comes to mind. So let's find out how convenient it is to book a hotel on booking.com.
How to choose and book a hotel on Booking.com?
As we mentioned above - one of the indisputable advantages of Booking is a clear interface with tips. The first thing you need to do when searching for accommodation to rent is to enter the city or region you are going to, the dates of your trip and the number of people you are booking for.
What to look out for when choosing a hotel or apartment on Booking:
For example, if your goal is to get to know the city, it is better to choose accommodation in the city center so that you don't waste time commuting by taxi or public transport. And if you are in the city only to sleep while traveling by car, rent accommodation on the outskirts, as in this case there is no point in going to the city center.
Entering your credit card details on Booking.com
Many users are afraid of entering their card details and especially the CVV code when booking accommodation on Booking.com. In fact, this procedure does not differ from other purchases on the Internet, where it is necessary to enter the CVV code. And in case of suspicious transactions, contact your bank and discuss them. Another way to protect yourself is to select the "Pay now" option at the last stage of the reservation - in this case, the service will immediately process your payment and transfer the payment to the hotel without your card details.
And if you don't want to enter your card details at all when booking accommodation - select the "booking without credit card" filter on the left side of the search page. There aren't that many options, but they do exist. If you want to book a hotel on Booking.com without credit card and prepayment, this search filter is for you.
The Genius program
Remember that you must register on the site before making your first hotel, resort or apartment reservation on Booking.com. Recently, the service set 2 levels of genius status for travelers.
Genius Level 1 is awarded after 2 completed bookings within 2 years. This status offers you a 10% discount on the price of your stay in some properties for all subsequent bookings on Booking.com.
