Whether you realize it or not, it’s easy to get a hotel room these days. Even when you try reserving a room at the last minute during high season, the chance of the hotel being fully booked is much less likely than in the recent past.
Thanks to advancements in technology, nowadays we can book hotels online. Yesterday was the era when we needed to spend more money and time on booking hotels. Today, we can cut money and time because booking a hotel online is as easy as moving the cursor on your gadget screen. No more calling the hotels one by one to ask for room availability. No more spontaneously going straight to a hotel with an uncertain result as to whether you secured the room or not.
Is it really that easy? Let’s prove it here!
Finding all your information in one place
We can say an online travel agent is a one stop solution for you while you’re searching for the best hotel for your trip. The online travel agent will provide you with all the information you need to know about the hotel, including the description, review, location, and the price.
Before you visit the online travel agent’s website you should put some thought into what hotel you are looking for. If you don’t have a specific hotel in mind yet then at least consider the kind / type of hotel you would like. When you know the type of hotel you want it can save you time and effort when it comes to searching.
When considering the type of the hotel you need, ask these 3 questions to yourself first:
1. What’s the focus of the trip? Are you going spend more time relaxing in the hotel or do you plan to be out and about?
For those who love spending time on outside activities it is wiser to opt for a budget hotel since you’ll only use the room to sleep in at night. On the other hand, if you’re looking for rest and relaxation you may decide to choose a 4-star hotel. These hotels will have more comfortable, fully facilitated rooms and more leisure facilities to be enjoyed, the whole time without having to step outside the hotel.
2. How big is your budget? Are you looking to splurge or save?
If you have a limited budget, of course, you’re better off choosing the budget hotel!
3. How important the ambiance for you?
If you are the kind of person with a high sense of art and love to please your eyes, you may want to consider a B&B, local guesthouse, or boutique hotel which are usually well designed and very unique.
Finally, after figuring out the most appropriate type of hotel for your needs, the next step is to find the right specific hotel. The easiest way to do this is to visit a popular and trustworthy online travel agent, to help you dig deeper into this process.
One such travel agency you can choose is Traveloka. Traveloka provides an online hotel booking service, alongside flight booking. Visit the website and simply enter your destination city and the check-in and check-out dates on the available menu. Click search and wait for the results!

You can sort the results based on price, location, hotel star, popularity, and rating for easier consideration. The results as shown can also be easily compared to each other. You don’t need to open any other website to find such information.
Click the hotel name if you want to see more details and specific information. Once on the hotel page you can read the description, the main plus points of the hotel, the facilities, reviews from both Traveloka users and TripAdvisor and the photos of the property. There’s also a price list for available room types. You can click each menu for detailed information about the price – what else is included in the price (such as free breakfast), whether it is refundable, what is the maximum guest number in each room, etc.
