Hotel Booking Websites

[micollh]

i tried agoda for my bali accomodation … i book and when prices are better i cancel and book else where… once i booked a offered accomodation then cancel due to the hotel not able to provide extra bed. Agoda charged me cancellation fees USD15. i wrote in and they waived it as the reason is valid. so, when book and cancel must read carefully if any catch.

Thanks for your reply.

I'm referring to a situation where bookings are made on concurrent dates in different hotel (eg. hotel A for Aug 1-5 and hotel B for Aug 1-3), with free cancellation until 24 hours b4 check-in date. Reservations done with Booking.com using same account.

Anyone has any experience/knowledge to share?

Anyone tried making concurrent bookings (same dates in different hotels) on Booking.com using the same account name? Is it possible or will it result in auto-cancellation of the reservations?


TIA

beeebeeebuuub... i'm back

For the last hotel bookings, I booked directly with the hotels. Realised that the rates quoted were cheaper than 3rd party intermediaries, like bookings.com or hotels.com. Decided to leave it as that after booking and did not compare further. Also, no time to do so. A subsequent & occasional random check still showed that the hotel website rates were still the cheaper option. Whew!

(sorry, i know, did not answer your qn, but sharing what i did)

Schweeepppees, welcome back!! Trust that you had had a great time and received an abundant of blessings and enlightenment.

Apart from the hotel in Paris where I'm staying in a bigger establishment, the rest of the trip I'm looking to stay in BnBs type of accommodation. These places either dun hv a proper webby or they expect full or part payment upon reservation. I hv a tentative itinerary but the dates can't be finalise until I can book the various rail tickets.

:offtopic:
Btw, I've booked 1 sector of my France trip on regional rail for €19 per adult!! Now keeping my eyes big big for more of such deals

Hi,
I have made concurrant bookings of different hotels for the same day of stays on booking.com a few times. No issues with concurrant bookings. Just check the terms and conditions carefully before you book especially on prepayment and cancellation charges.
