There are a bunch of secrets that hotel staff reveal, which no one will tell you, before booking your next trip, get to know them:
Contact the hotel for discounted rates
Instead of booking through travel agencies or booking websites, experts say direct contact with the hotel is the best way to get discounted rates. Hotels pay a 25% commission for booking websites, which makes you able to negotiate and request a 15% reduction when contacting the hotel directly.
Do not sit on couches
Most hotels rarely wash couches or quilts, and if there is a spot, they are cleaned and treated in their place most of the time, because hotels do not have time to wash all the covers and couches.
Tip is essential
The receptionist will definitely not ask you for a tip, but if you give him some money, you will get many benefits during your stay at the hotel.
Do not treat the receptionist badly
Many guests believe that dealing badly with receptionists forces them to provide the best features for the guests, but in fact the opposite is what happens, as some employees try to narrow the customer who is acting inappropriately.
Do not pay cancellation fees
A former employee is advised not to cancel the reservation ahead of time. The hotel will charge a cancellation fee. The best way to avoid this is to call after the cancellation date and inform the employee that you wish to postpone the booking to an undetermined later time.
Reservations are made over the hotel's capacity
It is common knowledge that about 10% of the guests who booked in the hotel are behind the reservation, so most hotels try to book a card up to 110%. If you happen to have booked in a hotel, you arrive to find that the room is full, The hotel will make a free reservation at another hotel.
Equipment for cleaning
Because of the large number of rooms and the cleaning, the workers use the same equipment to clean almost everything, so it is advisable, for example, to avoid the use of drinking glasses placed in the hotel.
Do not call for reservations at certain times
It is recommended not to call between 9:00 am and 1:00 pm These are the busiest times for both guests who wish to sign in or out. This makes the employee answer you quickly and does not have time to negotiate with you and receive your special requests.
Remove WiFi charges upon departure
There are some extras on the bill, which can be negotiated, including WiFi charges, so it is advisable to request the removal of these charges when leaving the hotel.
Sundays are best for booking
When booking a room for one night, Sunday is the best day to make a reservation and get a reasonable price, as most guests leave this day, while business travelers have not yet arrived.
